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.

One of the better courses in the Asheville area.

I played this course several years back before the redesign. I did not enjoy the course at that time. Cummings Cove was redesigned back in 2005 and the with the redesign this is now an excellent course.
I would now recommand this course to anyone that enjoys playing a fine golf course.

This course is as fun as it is scenic.

Playing here was a terrific experience. The course is beautiful, well-maintained, and spread out. Most holes give you options how to play it off the tee, the tiered greens were fun and in great shape, I heard they run even faster in the summer. Several of the 6 par threes are demanding and all of them are beautiful. The longer hole won't kill you if you miss the fairway, but require good approached taking the pin location into consideration. The carts had really cool GPS/ flat screens that showed you the hole, gave you several distances, and kept your score. A great scenic mountain course!

Great value for this time of year.

Some of the most challenging greens in WNC. This is a very tight course from the tips, but a fair course to play.

Much improved

Course in much better condition than in the spring. Fairways were good (and clear of leaves!), greens were excellent. Would play more if they'd come down on the their pricing a little.

Stay in the fairways

This is a beautiful, typical mountain course. Fairways and greens are excellent. However, if you hit to the sides of the fairways where the bermuda is longer, its tough to locate the ball let alone get it out. I really love the new carts with GPS monitors. It tells you everything you need to know about each hole.
