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.

True Mountain Course

First time playing. True mountain course. Lots of target golf required. Greens are very challenging with slight to severe undulation. This course requires shot control and the ability to carry the ball at least 200 yards off the tees from the blue box. Course is in great condition. The back nine allows for more drivers off the tee where the front is more irons. Will definitely play here again. Was paired with a great group who had course knowledge. This helped and was worth at least 3-5 strokes. Shoutout to Minnie Driver for keeping things entertaining.

Almost Outstanding

This course rewards accuracy over distance, with some fairly tricky angles. It is well maintained and offers spectacular views and significant elevation changes. I would not recommend walking unless you are a serious hiker. The only real drawback was that the restaurant/bar was closed during ownership transition. Otherwise, I would give it close to 5 stars.

Great Course, friendly staff

Really enjoyed the course. Not long but definitely is challenging. Greens were receptive which led to one of the problems - i repaired 2-3 deep ball marks in every green ( I had plenty of time as we were a twosome behind some foursomes in front of us. Starter was very friendly.

Enjoy the course, beautiful scenery

Cummings Cove is a fun course to play and is my regular rotation of courses played. The course plays a little short, under 6,000 yards from the Blue Tees, 6400 from the tips I believe. What it lacks in length, it more than makes up with the need for precision shots. Though the fairways are reasonably wide, there are plenty of trees to create issues if you're just a few yards out of position. Which protects the shortness of the course.

Overall, the course is in great shape. Greens 9/10, some spots here or there. They roll true and quick. Fairways 9/10. Good grass and kept up nicely.. Traps, well kept--at least the couple I visited. Tee boxes--these need some work. 6/10. The course has a very active membership within the neighborhood and receives a ton of play from them as well as a lot of public play. Hard to have everything humming at once so if I had to choose something to be weak, it'd be tee boxes.

The staff is kind and keeps things moving. The only thing to watch is tee time jumpers. Our time was 1:50 and we arrived at the tee at 1:45. There was a group of 3 on the tee preparing to tee off, when asked, their time was 2:10. They had jumped two groups, until being called out. Ranger isn't at the 1st tee so that might be something to address.

Don’t pass Cummings Cove up because of the shorter yardage

Great course for a first time visit. Layout was shorter than other courses but with slightly narrow fairways you must hit a good shot to be on the green in two. Course was in great condition and the pace was good for a twosome with a few foursomes in front. We will definitely be going back.

Nice, picturesque course to play

Ranger is needed to keep the players just behind the group in front and not just in front of the group behind them. If they look more than 2 minutes for their ball in the woods a ranger needs to remind them that the ball is not a relative and drop another ball and play on. The rough is rough and can be hard to find your ball due to the soft grass that hides a ball. The back 9 has the best views of the mountains especially on #16-18.

Beautiful Course & Fun

Really enjoyed the course. Would love a full driving range and chipping green, but at least they have a putting green and nets. Lots of hills and elevation changes makes it a lot of fun. Also has GPS on the carts. All together, really loved playing the course.
