Cummings Cove Golf & Country Club

About
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.

Pleasantly Surprised
This course well exceeded my groups expectations. Excellent shot shaping track with amazing greens. Rough and fairways very well maintained and they are working on the few areas that storms beat up a little. (Mostly visual and not in play) water throughout the course excellent electric carts and pretty nice cart paths. Couple of holes definitely picture worthy.

Love the course layout and the very friendly staff! I play this course very often because of my initial comments! Would recommend this course 24/7 to any Golfer who wants to play a great course!
FIRST TIME AND LOVE IT
Father In Law and i wanted hills and we got it. This was a challenging course. First time we played best ball and we had a blast.
Great golf course!
Great conditions overall. Few repair jobs still in progress on the course but not bothering.
Beautiful views. Missed the restaurant as it was closed. Sure it a course where you need to play in control... few blind shots and dog legs up and down the mountain!
Nice place! Thanks
Excellent
Greens are in great shape. All 18 holes open after Helene took out a couple. Staff always friendly and professional. Bring your own food , etc as the restaurant is closed.

Really enjoy playing Cummings Cove. Staff is outstanding and the course layout is Great.
Great golf course!
Love the course and the layout. Good conditions overall. Nice people.
Enjoyed the course
My husband and I play a couple times a week, but this was the first time playing in the mountains. The course is beautiful and challenging. We probably should have moved up a tee box for more enjoyment. We found the greens to be fast. Definitely worth playing though.
Average at best
The course conditions are average for the price. The staff were friendly but I wouldn’t recommend it in the future.
Course is coming around
The staff is working hard to get the final holes back after Hurricane Helene. Overall, the course is in great shape. Still have work going on from Helene’s visit in Sept of ‘24 but much improved. I’ve played it 4x since the hurricane and seen progress each time. This is the most significant. All 18 should be opened up in the next week according to the club house. Only #8 remained closed on my latest visit. One of my local favorites. It does get a lot of league and members play and they are on THEIR course frequently. Most of them are great, but a few can be not so great. The staff tries to balance things out, but in the end, the members will get the benefit of doubt. Slow play can be an issue from time to time. Thankfully the staff is ok with you skipping a hole or 3 and coming back around to play if needed.
Would recommend
If you're looking for a course with almost perfect fairways & greens in the smoky mtns that doesn't charge an arm and a leg to play that's also peaceful, Cummings Cove won't disappoint. I was a little disappointed when they said 1 of the holes was still closed from Helene but it's understandable. As far as course goes, my only suggestion for improvement would be the cart paths. When it comes to everything else I'd only say that if you're gonna have a ranger drive around at 6pm asking if you're gonna finish when you're in the middle of #15 and there's 2 4somes in front of you taking 10min per hole, maybe don't sell a tee time after 3pm and maybe get an idea of why someone isn't playing as fast as you'd like like looking to see if they're having to wait on the group/s in front of them. Aside from those few minutes dealing with that ranger, we had a great time and although I probably won't make the 3hr trip again, I would recommend it. Nothing really special, but it's very well taken care of and a nice, different course if you're looking to mix it up from your regular rounds
