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.

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.

Fun course

The course was in good shape considering the hurricane that came through in September. 2 holes were still under repair and unplayable. But the rest of the course was in good shape. Though short, you have to be in good positions to score well.

Will definitely play when I come through the area next time.

Poor Condition

Not my first time playing here but, my last for a while. The greens were punched several weeks ago and still sandy bumpy and just bad. You really can’t putt or spin the ball on these. Also, holes 7-8 were closed but, still charge full price.

Missing two holes and punched greens

First time playing this course. I booked online and when o arrived I found out that two holes were unplayable and that the holes were just punched. I wish this was mentioned on the website considering I drove over an hour to play it.

The layout was a nice layout and was fun to play.

Missing holes

#7 and #8 are still out of commission since the storm. #7 could and should be in play. 8 should have been ready by now.

Other than that, the. course is very playable. The greens are still coming back from aerification and still have a light layer of sand covering the putting surface. Most fairways grass is green and you're not hitting off of a hard pan surface. The rough isn't deep yet where you can't find your ball unless you walk over it.. They've also trimmed up the sides of the fairways so you can find your stray balls easier.
