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.

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.

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.

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.

Spring Colors / Great Pace

Haven’t played here in 7 years. Time flies. Usual “early Spring” conditions aka aerated 2 weeks ago / many spots in need of repairs on fairways / cart paths, etc., but Greens rolling nicely (made a few 10-20 ft. nice ones). Gorgeous spring colors / flowers / views on a breezy low 60s sunny day. Give it another 2 weeks and it’ll look even better. Pro shop guy said new owners as of 2 months ok, so hopefully they put the TLC into the course. New carts are very nice, though the “forced slow reverse mode” when your driving out of the designated areas is a tad annoying. Also, restaurant hopefully opening in a few months.

Friendly staff, starter was happy once the other single and I paired up which helped the pace. Not many golfers out there on a Tuesday so it may be slower when busy.

Paid $54 with a GolfNow Hot Deal Discount. Good value. I’ll be back in a few months!!
