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.

Good mountain golf

Area just had to much rain. Course was in decent condition anyway. Greens were aerated 2 weeks ago and we’re still bumpy and slow but to be expected. Great layout. Would recommend it especially if it dries out. Pro shop and restaurant are being totally redone so bring all your necessities

Waste of money

This course is going to hide by the fact that they had recently aerated their greens, which were miserable, but the rest of the course was also in terrible condition and so was their clubhouse, which is under construction. They should not charge more than $15 for what I experienced on Sunday. I am not a local, was playing through on the way to Augusta, it was definitely the lowlight of the trip. The course has great potential, but it was in rough shape.

I played it today and the greens are in fantastic shape, and the rest of the course is in great condition. Sorry it ruined your trip, but that was just bad timing.

Winter Construction FYI

I play here about 4-6 times per year. Typical winter conditions right now, yellow fairways, average greens, no water coolers etc. BUT there is major construction happening by hole 11, loud machinery clearing lots for new homes as well as other home repairs happening along some holes in addition to roosters and other typical noise. Also a new pro shop Ian being built / restaurant closed so bring water and food for the next few months. They are hoping to be done by April but most likely sometime in May.

Overall it’s still one of the best mountain courses within 45 min of Asheville along with Maggie Valley when you book hot deals. Also, there is never any rangers so be aware during busy times. There are many locals / members with there own custom golf carts who are typically friendly nice.

Decent Test

Have played CC a few times with my wife. She’s a 27, I’m a 4. Good shot values and layout for each of us. Back 9 is more challenging and scenic. Conditions usually are acceptable for a semi private, baffling though that there are so many unfilled divots and unrepaired ball marks on the otherwise decent greens. Major drawback is lack of driving range. I guess the price reflects this, but hitting 10 year old balls off of 10 year old mats into netting is disappointing.

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.
