Athletic Facilities

McAlister Gymnasium

Located on the main campus in Montreat, McAlister Gymnasium is home to the Cavaliers' men's and women's basketball teams and volleyball team. An extreme makeover in the summer of 2008 saw new bleachers, wall padding, a state-of-the-art scoreboard and new flooring installed. The gym floor was also repainted in the summer of 2013 with the new athletic logo. The gymnasium floor and locker rooms were renovated again, most recently in 2026, following the damaging effects of Hurricane Helene. McAlister Gymnasium houses the athletic administration offices, as well as the offices for men's and women's basketball, volleyball, men's and women's golf, men's and women's tennis, men's and women's wrestling, competitive cheer and competitive dance.
 
 

McAlister Fitness Center

Located on the bottom level of the McAlister Gymnasium, the McAlister Fitness Center was renovated in the summer of 2015, as well as the summer of 2026 following the damaging effects of Hurricane Helene. The fitness center now features expanded floor space, along with a completely revamped design of floors, windows and padding. The area also includes state-of-the-art workout equipment, ellipticals, free weights, stationery bikes, treadmills and motion trainers, serving as a significant upgrade in fitness for both athletics team training and student, staff and faculty. Additionally, the McAlister Fitness Center includes an indoor golf simulator for the men's and women's golf teams, as well as a padded practice room for the men's and women's wrestling teams.

 


 

Howard Fisher Memorial Field at Pulliam Stadium

Located on the college's Black Mountain Campus, Howard Fisher Memorial Field at Pulliam Stadium serves as the home facility for the men's and women's soccer teams, the men's and women's lacrosse squads and the men's and women's track & field programs. The field is named after former Montreat College men's soccer standout Howard Fisher. The 6-foot-7 Kingston, Jamaica native worked between the pipes for the Cavaliers from 2006-09 but passed away unexpectedly due to a rare blood disease that tragically cut his life short after his senior season. Fisher, a four-time all-conference selection, led the Cavs to their first "modern day" NAIA Men's Soccer Coaches' Poll ranking of No. 24 ('07) and to a program-best No. 15 ranking during his final season. Howard Fisher Memorial Field at Pulliam Stadium has been the host for numerous Appalachian Athletic Conference (AAC) Tournaments and Championships over the years.

 


 

Newell Field 

Also located on the main campus in Montreat, Newell Field is the home to Montreat College's baseball team. Newell Field previously served as the home for men's soccer prior to the development of Howard Fisher Memorial Field. In the summer of 2020, renovations including an all-turf infield and foul territory took place. Additional renovations occurred during the summer of 2025.

 

Roxy Hines Memorial Softball Field 

Located on the college's Black Mountain campus, Roxy Hines Memorial Softball Field is the home to Montreat College's softball team. While playing at Roxy Hines, the Cavaliers won the 2000 and 2001 AAC regular season titles. The Cavs also became tournament champions who went on to win the NAIA Regional Championship and advance to the NAIA National Tournament. 

In September of 2020, batting cages were added to the facility to further improve the stadium.

 



The Omni Grove Park Inn Resort & Spa - Asheville

One of four facilities that serve as home to the men's and women's golf teams, the Grove Park Inn Resort is a beautifully maintained 18-hole, championship layout located in the mountains of Western North Carolina. Just minutes from downtown Asheville, Grove Park plays to 6700 yards and offers challenging approach shots, beautiful views and undulating greens. The course was originally opened in 1896 as a 9-hole course, after which time legendary architect Donald Ross redesigned the existing nine holes and added nine more. The course underwent a $2.5 million restoration in the summer of 2001 and was voted "Best Restoration" by Golfweek Magazine in 2002. Other accolades include Top 100 Courses in N.C., as well as 2010 Top 15 U.S. Southern Golf Resorts.
