Cummings Cove Golf & Country Club

Cummings Cove is a semi private community located in the Mtns of NC. Elegant homes line some of holes, but never close enough to come into play. My buddy and I played this course 3 times in the last year. It being Feb. still plays like winter condions, that being said the course was very playable considering all the rain we’ve had this week. Fun, challenging and interesting layout front and back. Some elevated tee boxes present pretty views, especially Spring through Fall seasons. This last time there the very scenic water feature on the 10th hole was drained. Apparently repairing damage from recent heavy rains. Nice carts with GPS Monitors on board. The one drawback is NO driving range. I recommend this course and it’s one of the better and more scenic public courses in the area. If played on a good day I can almost guarantee you’ll want to come back.

The course was in great shape. The fairways and greens were excellent. Overall a wonderful experience.

I hope I get another chance to play CC again in our travels. The front is a bit tight, but playable for an 18 hdcp like myself. Back nine is more forgiving and the vistas are amazing.

As someone who plays Florida golf most of the time (the exception being my annual venture to the Carolinas for the World Amateur in Myrtle Beach), Cummings Cove was an elevating delight. Pleasant staff is always a good thing, and the folks at CC were definitely pleasant outside the clubhouse and in. I didn't even mind paying $12 (before tip) for a turkey sandwich and fries. The strength of CC is it's elevation changes, it's lovely views, and the need for choosing the right club. The greens showed some wear and tear, and as with most courses, you had to fix more than your fair share of ball marks, but they still rolled true...and fast...The bent grass greens had me baffled or I might have put up a decent score. The course was in good shape. It was good to have ice and water at a course in the Carolinas. That's standard in FL but not so much in this region. I wish there was a driving range, as opposed to the net they have, but I haven't paid my dues to get into golfing heaven yet. That really was my only disappointment at CC. I was lucky that Cliff invited me to play along, because his local knowledge certainly helped me navigate my way around Cummings Cove, a must-play if you're in the area. Thanks Cliff!

Great course, great condition

BUT ! Knowing there is no refund with GolfNow, I first called Cummings Cove and inquired what the the condition were. I was told the course was in great shape and all was good. So I then booked tee times.

To my surprise when we arrived it was cart path only and had been the day before when I called.

Having recently had knee surgery it was a very hurtful round.

Please more honest next time

Full disclosure would be helpful !

Fun layout. Shot makers course. Not one you can overpower. Lot of doglegs. I think i hit driver 4 times. Great shape. Always a few degrees cooler than my home in SC. Never seen a more overpriced grill. 10 bucks for a hot dog is nuts. Was a really good hot dog but wow.

My friend from N. J. told me it was the best course he ever played at. We even enjoyed contributing balls to the pond on 11. It tricks you! It was a very enjoyable course and we apologize for the broken windows! LOL

Unusual lay out with 6 par 3 holes and 5 par 5 holes. Beautiful views and good playing conditions.

The course layout is fun and interesting with 6 par 3's and 5 par 5's. Greens were a little firm, but in good condition and quick. Beautiful course with great views.

I played this mountainous layout for the first time from the cart paths only which means I attempted shots with the wrong club because the right one was across the fairway in the cart. You know the drill!

Electric carts are new with GPS. Nice! Water, restrooms, etc. are as expected on a high-end course like this one.

All the usual hazards are in play. None should bother an experienced golfer playing from the proper tees. Our threesome agreed to not play from the bunkers because they were solid hardpan -- obviously flooded out and eroded from recent heavy rains. Rough is Bermuda -- stay on the fairway or you'll be sorry.

The best hint I can offer is to choose one club longer when in doubt. I did, and it worked out on all but one hole -- a very short, steep uphill par three that I overshot. The course plays long.

Played this course of the way to Charlotte for the PGA.

I was looking for a nice mountain course with a lot of great views of the mountains. The back nine gave us just that. The course is in great condition and has very unique and fun holes. It can be a little challenging, but not that bad for an average player. I would play it again and may do so on my way back to Kentucky.

Cummings Cove was in excellent shape, fairways great and greens better than average. We have not played there is several months but the conditions were the best we've seen in years.

This is a strategic course that requires some thinking. Probably not ideal for a beginner or someone who likes to pound the driver off the tee. I didn't hit driver until the 9th hole and only five times on the day. There is a good bit of trouble on most holes and errant shots can be easily lost. It has some spectacular mountain views, particularly on the back nine.

A good value on a weekend afternoon and good conditions for the price.

Good test of golf--I would not recommend it for 15+ handicaps. Overall, the course was in great shape. The scenery was outstanding!

Love the new cart with range finder and touchscreen etc

Beautiful views on a well maintained mountain course.
