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.

Amazing course and friendly staff
We snuck on for 18 holes on a chilly January day, but this course wildly exceeded our expectations. Super fun course, awesome mountain holes with elevation changes, but a fair course, and tons of fun shots to hit. We had 9 in our group and the staff were amazing and totally understanding of what we hoped our day would be like. Accommodated us, treated us great and made for a very memorable golf round. Would love to come back and play in-season when the grass and trees are in shape!
Cancelled
Had tee time available to book, booked and paid fee, course canceled my tee time the next morning via phone call so I can’t recoup my golf now fees.
Giant pain.
Great course, no matter what!
Wet and cart path only BUT we would come back anytime!
A Hidden Gem
If you want to play golf within a 40 minute radius of Asheville, NC this is the course to play. The course demands a variety of different shots/clubs. If you want to hit driver every hole this is probably not your course. However, the views, conditions, and variety of hole layouts makes this course a blast to play. Cummings Cove is an ideal mountain golf course and it isn't gimmicky like some mountain courses can be. I played 18 holes for $35 dollars, I wouldn't have been mad if the green fees were twice that. Check it out.
Might just be my favorite WNC course
Played here as a solo and loved the course. It was in November so the course wasn't as green as you'd expect, but for the most part it was well taken care of. The views on the back 9 are literally breathtaking as you're typically hitting high to low with a GREAT view of the mountains. The course layout is REALLY windy on the front 9 specifically; I think I only pulled out the driver twice total on the day. So make sure you hit plenty of your 3w or 5w before you get on the course! The greens are also realllly difficult; that mixed with the heavy treelines outlining the fairways definitely makes it difficult for the beginner golfer. Hit fairways and you'll have an incredible time though!
What a shame
Love this course but there is no excuse for the condition of the traps (completely untouched and rutted out) and amount of leaves on the fairway. (Number 9 was unplayable) We play 2-3 time per week and most course that we play are grooming traps and blowing leaves into the rough. This course is semi private, I would be furious if I were a member.
Stunning
Absolutely amazing experience out there today. Incredible course and environment tucked away in the mountains, and for an unbeatable price too! Definitely my new home course living close by, would recommend to anyone over any course in the area.

Enjoyed the course
Cummings Cove
One of the best courses in the Asheville area for the money. Would have given them a 5 for course conditions if not for several bare tee boxes and sand traps in total disrepair. But layout is beautiful, fairways and greens are nice and greens were fairly quick. Highly recommended over other area courses!
Beautiful golf trip
Had a great day on a great and challenging course.
Beautiful course! Tight fairways
You don't need to bomb to shoot well here. You do need to be able to hit it straight. As someone that only golfs a couple times per year, this was a super challenging course with a lot of lost balls. The course has some amazing mountain views and gorgeous fairways. The restaurant unfortunately went under with COVID so there was no beer available. That would have been nice to know at booking. That's the only complaint. Friendly staff and nice folks both in front and behind us during our round. I'll be back for sure.
Extremely Challenging
Fantastic course, but beyond my skill set unfortunately. Fairways tight and narrow and good amount of fallen leaves in rough, which is expected in WNC in the fall, not a reflection of course or course management by any means. Any shot not on fairway resulted in lost ball in leaves, again not courses fault, but too challenging for my game, or lack thereof. I'll definitely be back for another round in the spring for sure though. Greens amazing, but deceptively quick, but very fun to put.
New favorite course
Cummings Cove has it all. Stellar views, interesting holes that are memorable, friendly staff, everything. I was wanting to play it again before the first round even finished.
Fun course to play
This was a fun course to play. Tee boxes and fairways in nice condition. Greens were punched a few weeks ago and I think they will be in real nice condition in another week or so. Bunkers are mostly unplayable however and could use a lot of work. Lots of doglegs and I was only able to hit driver on one hole. No driving range.
Still great course, perfect day, needs minor attention
i still love this course! I thought, however, since course was closed 3 days for aeration, that it would be better condition than this. Aeration holes still plagued putting 4 days after it was done. First cut rough needs minor attention, some debris on fairways made it hard to locate balls even after good shot in fairway. It wasn't manicured quite as well as the first time I played it. But it still is the best course in WNC to me. I don't even rate it with the "tourist-only' pricey Grove Park Inn. Can't wait to try it again when it's in better shape.
Great Course
With the exception of the greens...which were just aerated the course is true. Target golf not too forgiving
