Good value, friendly staff

Good value, friendly staff, greens in good shape, some fairways need work, 2nd hole has a very narrow fairway, sloped to a big drop off. I enjoyed the round and would play again if I’m in the area.

Good day in NC

Course is in great shape. Greens were very slow but to be fair with all the rain we have had it would be hard to mow them, they did roll true.

Love Chatuge

Always a pleasure to play here, the staff are always nice and fun to talk to.

A few greens still under stress from winter but overall the course is in great shape!

A few slow players so missed a few holes to get around them but otherwise great!

A Hidden Gem

ATTENTION - Do not be fooled by the difference in google review ratio to the “other” local course. Chatuge Shores is THE course to play between the two. The perfect balance of fun vs strategy. This course makes you think, truly, I was extremely surprised by how well maintained the entire course was. The staff were top class. This is my new “home” course well I’m away at the lake.

If your looking for a cheap place to play this is it

If your looking for cheap place this is it but overall course in terrible shape for a place right off the lake to have something to do its okay but I would not recommend if your looking to actually have a good game greens are terrible

Early spring

I played this course a few times and I will continue to play it. The staff is always friendly and laid back. This course offers some beautiful views of mountains and lakes. The course could use some TLC especially to the greens. That being stated, it is a great course for the price. I moved to the area a year ago and this course has been my go to.

Hope to see the fairways and greens go back to the condition they were in previous times i played there. But I realize it's early spring and we had an extremely dry spring so far.
