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.

First Timer

the course was in perfect shape, despite the severe drought in the area... fairways and greens were the exact median between firm and cushy... Carl at the desk was very friendly and helpful, welcoming us for the first time.... i mentioned to him that the "little things" such as the landscaping and the complimentary driving net/golfballs were the icing on the cake! looking forward to bringing all of my friends to Cummings Cove!

Fairways a disappointment

Cummings Cove was in terrible shape when I played on Mon.4/25/16. This course was in my top 5 in the area, but I cannot recommend it until the course conditions improve. Several fairways had large patches of dirt or bare spots, and seveal areas looked "patched up" to try to repair them. I'll check back in a couple of months.

Great value

I play this course often and it never gets old.

It plays like two 9's instead of an 18. The front is more flat and common, where as the back is more elevated and scenic.

Carts have GPS and auto scoring.

If you want to treat yourself, give this course a try.

Don't miss!

Almost every shot on the course needs to be accurate for distance and trajectory. Only a couple of chances to "grip it and rip it". Greens are tough by design but roll true, and that's all anyone can ask for. Beautiful views abound. Be prepared to hit every club in the bag .

This course needs an official to monitor pace of play

The club house has a screen that shows if a player or cart is behind pace on a specific hole that is holding up the rest of the field. A marshal should be sent out to make the group or player holding up the field to wait on the tee box for the next group to play though. If two groups are slow players they can hold everyone else up making everyone miserable. I do not suggest a slow group to speed up if they like to play slow. Let them visit at the next tee box while the faster players play though. Everyone then can enjoy their round.

This is a country club course

The staff was friendly letting us start ahead of our scheduled Tee time. The carts do have GPS which was helpful tackling some of the holes on the front nine. I was not impressed with the fairway conditions after reading some of the earlier reviews there are still spots where the grass has receded and you will be hitting off of dirt. The change of seasons meant that there were a lot of leaves on the ground and due to the rain all week we lost a lot of balls that were in play. Hope that this review helps other people when deciding where to play in the Asheville area.

Cummings Cove

Played at a reduced rate due to the greens being aerated. Fairways and tee boxes were average at best. Only a few groups on the golf course today, and the pace of play was still a problem. Green fees are usually in the $50 to $60 dollar range. There are many better golf courses in the area to choose from.

Tough but Beautiful

No easy holes here. Every shot can find trouble. Several fairways were under repair, but overall the course was well groomed. Slow foursome was a problem, but that can happen anywhere.

Beautiful scenery. It is a very tough course unless you are a solid player. It can be very frustrating if you ball is just a little of course.

Needs some work

Great staff...EXPENSIVE food and beverage. $30.00 for 2 dogs, club sandwich and 2 beers? Country Club atmosphere, mostly members play. A few really bad fairways in need of grass and seed, greens in good shape. Very scenic with plenty of sand and water challenges. Fairly tight fairways lined with homes. We played in blistering heat which I'm sure influenced sour taste....will try again after fairways come back in and temps drop.

Enjoyable afternoon

Started on the back nine due to cart path paving prep on front. Pace of play was VERY slow for the first nine, possibly due to locals group that just plays 9. Much improved on remaining nine. Greens were excellent. Fairways had substantial winter kill bare spots, but you can see that management is addressing the issues as well as possible. Bunkers not prepped for play on this day, but playable. A lot of new sod on tee boxes. Grounds maintenance around water features could be much better and would help to make this course shine. Starter and pro shop staff were great. Good value for GolfNow hot deal price, but I'd have a hard time paying retail for the course in its current condition. In better condition, the course would be awesome.
