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.

Rained on my Parade

I really enjoyed this course but was unfortunately rained out after 5 holes. Sadly I was on a tear after figuring out where the first pin was. The staff was friendly, and offered a raincheck, but sadly I more than likely won't be back within a year since this was a business trip.

Very awesome, very challenging

I had a blast coming up here, played it for the first time with my dad. Course is amazing the only con I had was that the layout was quite too difficult, most of the fairways if you missed them you are taking a drop. Very slim roughs but I still rate it a 5 star because it was incredibly unique. If you are looking for a challenge come here and play the tips, you won’t make it 18 with the same ball.

Fun course but

Had a great time playing for the first time there today, the only issue we had was some drunk guys in front of us and we watched them destroy a cart a hubcap was laying in the fairway and a homeowner took it back and the guys driving the cart dropped it off and got out before the cart guy could see it. We talked to the cart guy and told him what we saw but hopefully they never let them guys back. But other than that it was a great course and we loved it!

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.

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

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.
