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.

Could do better

For a the cost to play, they could do better with conditions since there is lots of work going on. I’ve played this course in the past and I’ve seen it much better than the last few times I played. I will play there again, but I would not recommend it at the moment for these reasons.

Hot it’s Not

My hot deal was for 8:30. I was told a ladies shotgun began on the back. I was told to wait until 8:45 to start because of a men’s league was starting on the front. I was not going to play a 6 hour round!!Because of this and 2 holes closed due to storm damage and greens just air aired I just left and lost my prepaid fee for 2 players. Golf Now really screwed up my day!!!

Winter Golf

This is a semi private course that is maintained very well. Before hurricane Helene came though I’d consider this one of my favorite semi private courses in WNC. As a result of the hurricane this course is without holes 7, and 8, which are closed indefinitely. Also the bunkers are unplayable, washed out and not raked.

At this course you will find yourself leaving driver in the bag most of the day. So dial up those irons and hybrids and prepare to play target golf off the tees.

This course does not have a range but does have a long net to hit into with several hitting mats to warm up. Just a warning the balls that they have out to hit are in terrible condition. One ball I hit with my Mizuno jpx 923 tour PW put a very disappointing circular scuff on its face.

Other than being disappointed to pay for 18 holes on golfnow, and finding out it was only 16 holes, I played a good round and was happy to find a nice day in January to play.

Scenic Mountain course

Nice views of the mountains all around. However, the course itself does not have significant elevation changes. Due to hurricane Helene, three of the holes are closed and have to be redone. The app does not tell us that. All had a very good time.
