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.

Always a blast

Cummings cove is always a great time, it’s still winter conditions, but greens still are in great shape even considered the time of year, lay out has shots going both ways, fun up hill and some massive down hill drives. I’ve played many times here, and will continue to play here many more times

The course was in good shape, yet pace of play was unbearable

Was told when we teed off that the men’s league played at a fast pace. That was NOT the case. Asked if a buddy and I could go off before them, was told no. A 5:15 round is not a favorable pace for a golf round.

Nice, picturesque course to play

There was a frost delay, so the first hole had a little back up. We asked if we could go off the back 9 first and then only have to wait on every hole on only 9 holes. The starter was hesitant but said go ahead. We played the course without waiting on both sides in 3 hrs. The sand traps could use some help. The rough could be reduced to find your ball easier. The rough was twice the height of the ball and did not hold up the ball. We liked the views and will be back. Just stay out of the sand traps and the rough and you will enjoy this course

Challenging short course!

Not long from any tee boxes, course makes up for it with fast undulating greens in good shape. Narrow front nine with anything off fairway adding to your score. Pretty setting!

BEAUTIFUL course with terrible greens

Such a beautiful course! Every hole was scenic and well maintained... However, the putting green condition puzzled us. They were extremely dry and uneven condition. Some part of the green was super slow and some part is so fast. Impossible to putt. Fun course to play. It was somewhat disappointing to see there is no driving range, no water station, no ball cleaning station, and no beverage cart. We were happy to see the cart come with the GPS at least. Will be back to see the putting green is better.

Second time out! First round wasnt a unicorn

Was a bit surprised as to how accomodating the staff was first round here as a public player, come to find out the players here are even friendlier than the staff (residents too). I thought maybe it was a fluke of a day, I was wrong.

Drinking water and ice machines on multiple holes, nice bathrooms, friendly staff, and a ridiculously fun layout. Pace is a tad lax but the views are worth it, take your time and enjoy it. Course members are not exclusive to having fun and are happy to see new faces. Both rounds here proved to be a wonderful facility with an accomodating atmosphere.
