Rating 70.2

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.

Would recommend

If you're looking for a course with almost perfect fairways & greens in the smoky mtns that doesn't charge an arm and a leg to play that's also peaceful, Cummings Cove won't disappoint. I was a little disappointed when they said 1 of the holes was still closed from Helene but it's understandable. As far as course goes, my only suggestion for improvement would be the cart paths. When it comes to everything else I'd only say that if you're gonna have a ranger drive around at 6pm asking if you're gonna finish when you're in the middle of #15 and there's 2 4somes in front of you taking 10min per hole, maybe don't sell a tee time after 3pm and maybe get an idea of why someone isn't playing as fast as you'd like like looking to see if they're having to wait on the group/s in front of them. Aside from those few minutes dealing with that ranger, we had a great time and although I probably won't make the 3hr trip again, I would recommend it. Nothing really special, but it's very well taken care of and a nice, different course if you're looking to mix it up from your regular rounds

Fun and challenging

Great course! Fun and challenging especially for Florida golfers not used to elevation changes. Good golf carts with GPS course in excellent shape except for one part three was closed nice bathrooms and water busy course, but the pace of play was pretty good. The restaurant looked nice overlooking the golf course but didn’t go in. Nice pro shop and friendly staff. good bang for the Buck would definitely go back and play this course again. Greens roll True and we’re in great shape, fairways and teeboxes in great shape Too.

Two worlds…

Paid with GolfNow online and the guy at the front desk told me that I owed the teetime price to the club. I had to show him proof of payment… Halfway through the first hole, another guy (the starter) came to see us telling me we had paid for 9 holes when we had really paid for 18. I had to show him proof of payment… Wow, what a greeting !!

I loved the layout thought even if the course was very wet due to heavy rain in the morning.

Nice Course

I think anybody that plays there will really like the layout. It’s fun, interesting and challenging. The greens were a little slow the day I played, but they were in excellent condition. They may have been a little too soft to roll because they had a lot of rain. Whole number eight was decimated by the hurricane so we were unable to play that hole as it is closed. Overall, I would recommend putting the course on your list to play go well worth the money. I paid booking through Golf now.

Still not repaired

With two holes closed and two severely shortened it was like playing only a partial round of golf. 50 bucks was too much money for a partial round.

Only 16 holes due to damage from Helene

Greens were in great shape but the course itself is in rough shape. Played here a couple years back and really enjoyed it and the course was well taken care of. Seems they have fallen on tough financial times. With in 2 minutes of walking in the pro shop they told me the course is for sale. Sad story. Staff was pleasant but very little play. Hope they get a new owner and turn it around. Also, never was posted they were down to 16 holes and the 9th hole went from a par 5 to a very short par 4. Still charged $58 for a 16 hole round.

The people were great. My only complaint is I wish I would have known 2 holes were unplayable before I booked.

Mark G

The course was in great condition considering Helen had an impact on 2 holes that were closed. Pace of play excellent. The greens had been aerated in the past few weeks with some sand remaining on the greens. Putting was difficult. The restaurant was closed for good. No alcohol sales at all. Bringing your own beverage is an option. The course was scheduled to be sold just before the Hurricane hit. The potential buyer withdrew the offer.
