Cummings Cove Golf & Country Club
About
Nestled within the Blue Ridge Mountains, Cummings Cove Golf & Country Club is peacefully tucked away with the Great Smokies sheltering it to the west. It offers some of the most stunning views of any golf course in western North Carolina. Although it feels remote, Asheville is less than half an hour away. The mountainous surroundings provide a dramatically hilly terrain that is ideal for a challenging round of golf. Players will face plenty of uneven lies on this layout. The elevation changes also provide some interesting risk-reward opportunities throughout the golf course. Mature trees frame most of the holes and the small, sloped greens are often framed with bunkers. The Cummings Cove layout seems unusually short at only 6,415 yards from the back tees but it's not to be underestimated. The undulating terrain makes it feel much longer.

Spectacular views
Cummings Cove is a very enjoyable course to play. The course offers spectacular views and lots of opportunities to score well. I was fortunate enough to view a doe and a newly born fawn on my tee off to hole four. Definitely worth the trip and will be back.
Shut up and get in the cart
I love this place! It has just enough elevation change to qualify as a mountain course. Nice layout, no quirky holes and not many driver holes but plenty of challenging holes. Bent grass greens: very nice!
Remaining conditions were very good with maintenance and improvements apparent. I rank golf 5 stars.
I did not use food services but I think they are open. Might check availability before you go. Water is available on course.
Well Worth the Drive
We drove two hours to play this course, and it was worth it. The staff members are extremely friendly and helpful, and the course was in really good shape. We highly recommend it!

Wow! The course is making a great comeback since the new ownership! Can't wait for the next 2 months! Congrats! I'll be BACK!
AVOID AT ALL COST
AVOID AT ALL COST. Had a tee time yesterday and some rain checks that we wanted to use only for them to tell us they because of new ownership they are not holding up the rain check obligation. So even after they got our money. My understanding when you buy a business you are buying both the assets and liabilities. There are too many BETTER golf courses in the area for them to have customer service this bad. Not smart management to lose customers for life and also get negative feedback based on 2 greens fees (that were already paid for by the way). Anyhow, I would personally STAY AWAY.
A tight "Target Golf" layout w/Good Greens
Cummings Cove is a Target golf course, where many par 4's don't call for a driver off the tee. Several doglegs mean what looks like a good tee shot on the left center of the fairway, will still leave you blocked out by tree branches which then require you to control a draw shot or a gentle fade to get to the greens. Most greens a medium sized. And a little slow, but all were in great condition. This course does have several trees for shade, but bug repellant might be handy to have. It was very hot when we played, but the ample shade near cart paths helped. It also has pretty cool elevations changes and many good views of mountains & the course.
Review
Overall good, fairways a little spotty in places. Front 9 was being aerated, wished I had known, so all traffic condensed to back nine
Great day
Played early on a Sunday for first time in 6 weeks. Impressed that the ongoing renovations/repairs were progressing well. Greens were great and fairways were catching up. Very playable for most golfers.
Cummings Cove
Great challenging course. The layout and views are great. Definitely worth checking out, unfortunately this time around a certain group ahead was behind the pace of play and led to some delays throwing out the round.
But overall very good experience and great course as well.
Family Golf ⛳
Great Course and Challenging. Rained 2 days ago and felt course could have identified certain holes for Cart Path Only, but not the Whole Course. No Liquor Licence
We now have our liquor license. Full bar is open.
The Cove
Beautiful mountain course. Greens were good, a bit slow. Tee boxes were not so good, but they were working on them. Fairways were fair. Definitely playing again. Only amenities were a small cooler with drinks.
Our restaurant is now open!

This course normally is an excellent conditions the dryness that’s in the area and the drought that we’re experiencing has affected that course a lot. I understand that there will be a restaurant opening soon. They do have new ownership for the course. There is continuous improvements to the course. It’s well worth playing the dry conditions have affected the course tremendously. I understand that there will be a restaurant opening soon. They do have new ownership for the golf course.
Thanks for playing! I am the new owner. The bar and restaurant are now open. And course improvements are underway.
Beautiful mountain course
This course well exceeded my expectations. I would play here daily of possible.
Thank you. I'm the new owner. We won't stop until it is 100% !
