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.

Lots of fun! Friendly staff

Enjoyed our round at Cummings Cove. Friendly staff allowed me and my wife to play as a twosome which pleased her. Pete, the starter was great describing the course and getting us on our way. The front nine was extremely tight with driver not needed often. The back nine was a little more open but challenging with elevation changes and tested all clubs in your bag. Fun mountain gof experience!

GPS

This is a nice course, narrow but it’s in great condition. I thought the GPS setting for the golf cart were strict and not needed as strict as they were. Also, those who I guess are members with there own carts didn’t have to honor the gos setting and went were they wanted it making it difficult for use. We were constantly being pushed.

Second time here. Very nice layout. Hit every club during round

Without question the BEST part of this country club is the staff. Starts in the pro shop and then the Starter. These gentleman make sure to meet you with a friendly greeting - make sure you know where everything is. It really stands out and gets your day here started in a positive way. Course is not long but you do have to use course management. Definitely not a grip it and rip it course. Course is fair when you put the ball in the correct position. You will pay the price if you don’t. I recommend giving it a try if you have not played here. If you are ever near by again, you will come back. Great people work here. You will make more than one new friend here.

Interesting layout!

We just happened on this course on our way home from Myrtle Beach. It was kind of off the beaten path, but worth checking out. Very nice clubhouse and friendly guy checking us in. The front nine was unique with elevation changes, doglegs, and forced carries. Not very long, but tight in places and not much room for error. The entire course was in a beautiful mountain setting with the front being in the valley, and the back up on the top. Great views on the back and more forgiving. Overall the course was in good shape, greens had recently been reseeded, and fairways average. This course was a nice change from the mostly generic and overpriced tracks we played in Myrtle Beach!

Too many un called for Cart on path holes

Since I have leg and back problems, I thought there was too many holes that were cart path only. the holes with the on path areas to me were dry and should have been off path. I do agree with pare 3 holes and maybe wet areas but not all the dry well drained area. Greens were great. A lot of no grass area on the fairways. Other than that I love the course.
