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.

Nice, picturesque course to play

I played at 2 PM and joined up with another player for the same tee time and only had to wait a few minutes on each shot due to a slower father and son who doesn't play much. On the 16th hole they let us join them due to a foursome ahead of them. It was nice to join up and not have to wait on each shot for the last 3 holes. The views are very nice and the greens were decently fast. I missed 5 short putts to put my score at 84 instead of a 79.

Cummins Cove is great in July 2023

The course was in fantastic shape, the staff was very friendly, and I had a great time playing 18 holes there. I hope to play there again soon!

A good test for the entire bag.

If you hit your driver over 250, you won't use it much. I hit driver 3 times as this is a target style course with narrow landing areas. I used every club in the bag, but mostly 4 iron off the tee for position. The greens were nearly perfect, slow uphill and lightning fast downhill. The tee boxes were spotty in some areas. The carts were awesome. Geofencing on the carts could be a little more forgiving for the older players. I played this course last year and was equally as impressed. It's near a must play. Cons- No range just a net and mats. Lots of houses being built on the course.

Nice spot!

First time this season. I always like this track and play it about 4 times per summer. Pros: greens, carts, staff. Cons: very wet, albeit, a lot of rain in the past few days. Cart path only, which on most of the course was appropriate, but there are some holes that were dry, would have fine for carts. Tee boxes, really need work, some were literally all mud or a ton of standing water, rain or not, they need sod and drainage. Lack of ball washers on a wet course. Should have one at every tee box. But I will be back!!!

Excellent Course Layout

Excellent Layout, Some Tee boxes were in subpar shape. The staff was not the nicest in the world. I do plan to come back though in the near future.

Frustrating

Unfortunately, there was a good sized women's outing ahead of us, so play was painfully slow. Not the course's fault, but frustrating. Three groups on par threes, and four groups on par fives.

One other thing... If you're a big hitter, this is not your course. You'll only hit your driver twice. Narrow landing areas at 270 yards take the driver out of the bag.

If you hit 270, I hope you play from the tips. Sometimes course management means you need to hit a long iron or fairway wood off the tee.
