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.

greens were perfect
overall good shape.some one cut in front of me when I made the turn. need ranger
Cart Path Only
The course was beautiful but wet from a night of rain, so cart path only. The greens were very receptive but slow while moist in the morning - better as the day worn on and the greens dried out. It began to rain from 15 on but not too terribly so we were able to finish.
Nice Course - Fantastic Pace of Play
We had a good time. Weather was amazing. Course was very wet, and they have had issues this year with lots of rain effecting their ability to grow grass on some fairways. If you played Lift Clean and Place it was awesome. Greens were fast and fair (Excellent)
Great pairing and adventurous course.
Hard not to be distracted by the Blue Ridge. Great layout and extremely receptive greens. A lot of elevation which adds distance to even the shortest holes.
Beautiful setting
I have always liked the beauty, the layout, and the amenities. The bent greens are normally rolling very well as they were this time. They unfortunately have had so much rain Fairways are hurting. They are in process of doing some sodding. Front nine has a little tight Fairways however the back nine opens and really has great views. Played as a twosome in just under 4 hours. Staff was very nice and flexible.
Best score ever!
Awesome scenic course. Superb staff with excellent facilities. Finally, some one working the pro shop with a personality. He was more than accommodating. Will be back!
Cummings
Great course to find out just how good your iron play is! Not very long but narrow and unforgiving. Defense of this course is its fast greens and slope! Most putts will have break, some will have lots of break!
Not your tipical grip and Rip course but a great challenge!
The course is top notch!
My son and I played the course last Sunday and I was blown away with everything!
Great Service
I thought the staff was very friendly and the course was very nice. Due to the amount of rain fall they received over the past few days and weeks the fairways were in bad shape. I think that once they are able to work on them it is a very beautiful course.
Just not there yet
This is my favorite course in the area. It’s just not in the shape I expect at this time of the year. The greens have not responded well to yearly maintenance and still are bumpy at best. The fairways are coming in, but still not where they’ve been in the past. A little disappointed in the condition compared to other courses in the area. Still love the layout and challenge the course presents.
Slow coming out of winter
The course is usually in much better condition. Greens have not responded to aerification (over a month ago) and are still bumpy. Fairways are slowly coming in, but not where they should be at this point. Very wet spring has hurt the course. I still enjoy playing here as it is a shorter course that requires accuracy off the tee.
Great Golf Day
Early in the golf season, my wife and I enjoyed playing this excellent mountain course! The layout is very scenic and a good test of golf. The staff were very friendly and helpful!
OK
The course was not in as good shape as a past round there last year. Many courses in the south including this one suffered grass problems with three weeks in Jan and Feb of warm weather. This caused grasses to start coming in only to be killed by subsequent very cold weather. Grass coming in well is running 4 to 6 weeks later than usual. This is a great course with great Mountain View’s. Challenging layout with some narrow fairways. We still had a great time despite grass issues on fairways and greens. Give it a month and things should come around fine.
Will get better
Greens were just punched but not bad. They are suffering along with many NC and SC courses which had a warm period of time in January Feb that started the grass growing only to have it stunted by following cold spell. Course condition right now is not 4 + stars. Layout is tight but very interesting with great Mountain View’s. A pleasure to play anything.
Million Dollar views - well worth the price of admission
Cummings Cove is a beautiful course- the vistas at some of the holes will take your breath away. It is a wonderful course with 3-5 's on the back nine giving you plenty of birdie opportunities. The course is narrow and I am sure no one else has never done this but I was thinking that hole 18 was the green for hole number one). They were aerating the greens and that did give me an extra discount. Even though the course was packed, it flowed well and we finished our 18 holes in under 4 hours. I will play this often.
Challenging to putt
Usually enjoy playing Cumming Cove. Unfortunately the greens had just been aerated and it was a sea of sand once you got on the putting green.
That said, it was a beautiful day even with a two club wind and less than ideal putting conditions. In a couple of weeks things should be fine.
It is a challenging, scenic golf course. A good example of mountain golf.
Always pleasant
It is a closed course for me. I always enjoy playing there. Each hole has its Challenge and many have great views. Have your camera ready when you approach the par-3 16th hole.
