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.

Very interesting layout

Course conditions were perfect in the dead of winter. Greens and fairways were smooth. Grass was dormant but didn’t effect play at all. Beautiful views on the back 9 and will definitely be coming back in the summer once everything greens up.

Mountain Golf!

True mountain course with some tough Par3’s.

Played from the tips (12.6hcp) , shot 86(+15). An actual length of 6084y from the back tees felt like a stout 6250y considering the elevation changes on approach shots . Keeping the ball in play off the tee holds premium, and that may require a “non-driver” mentality . Great greens, carts w/gps and stunning views make this a superb track to hop on and test your skills as a ball-striker for an unbeatable price. This course is in very good condition overall.

Cheers.

Short course, only pull out the driver 4-5 times. Still a ton of fun, would love to come back for the great conditions and scenic views. Rentals were also very reasonable, $45 for a brand new set of Paradym woods and irons.

Decent course

Only played the front 9, but from what I saw, the course was in good shape and well maintained. The layout was nice with tight fairways and smallish greens. The greens were very fast. Would not recommend playing if you are a high handicap player.

Terrible experience

After driving over two hours to play this course this was our experience. Course conditions were decent not many complaints there other than fall leaves falling all over the greens (not the courses fault).The course is pretty short so if you’re a long ball hitter then you have 2-3 holes where you can hit a driver other than that you’re forced with a lot of forced layups but definitely a risk-reward shots. Never played there before so we had to use the GPS to get to the course which led us to a locked gate with a remote call box. The note said to call the pro shop so we did. The guy was not friendly at all during our conversation in which he stated “we was obviously at the wrong gate”. Once we made it to the pro shop our twosome was paired with another twosome when the course wasn’t busy at all (literally had one group behind us and never seen anyone else the rest of the day). My friend and I are young and we was paired with 2 60+ year olds and it made our round completely miserable!!! We normally play 18 holes by ourselves in about 3 hours however being paired with the two old guys it took a little over 5 hours to play. With us being longer hitters, playing the tips, they would play the whites and we would tee off, then by the time they hit their ball 4 more times to make it to our ball we finally got to hit again 15 mins later. This just made for a miserable round and we had no fun at all! After a almost 3 hour front nine we was ready to leave at that point! But having $50 invested in a round at a course we’ve never played we wanted our monies worth so we stayed.

I'm sympathetic to these guy's experience. I enjoy this course but have had similar experiences with lack of knowledge or courtesy on behalf of the staff regarding tee-times and spacing.

I was told to wait on the first tee for a tee time that my twosome was 25 minutes early for, and subsequently waited there for 25 minutes while absolutely zero golfers teed off, until another twosome showed up that we were required to play with.

Ridiculous. Educate your staff Mr. Golf Pro/General Manager.

Gem quality staff, challenging layout

Pick your shots wisely! Valley-esque holes provide some fairway banking and less wind, top of the hill shots need to be hit with a bit more consideration for the gusts over the mountain. Teri in the clubhouse was a treat and Mike the starter is as good as they get.

The back Nine much better than the front

The lady at the desk was EXTREMELY helpful, as was the Starter.

The front Nine was a little soggy, but fine.

Then, the Back Nine had much more CHARACTER, with better conditions.

Stunning course

I was in the area for my brothers bachelor party, coming from Florida. All I have to say is... wow. Every single hole I was more and more blown away with how beautiful the course was. The views were unreal and the conditions were great. I don't think there was a single second during the round we all weren't smiling ear to ear. I hope I can come back to the area so I can play it again. That was a round I'll never forget.

I have played this course several times in the past. However, it currently is in the best condition I can remember. Thanks go to Nancy in the pro shop and Pete the starter for making this a fun day.

Well maintained course, enjoyable to play

Busy course. Nice environment. Well maintained, a good balance of play challenges while not leading to an automatic loss of a ball if just off the fairway.

True Mountain Course

First time playing. True mountain course. Lots of target golf required. Greens are very challenging with slight to severe undulation. This course requires shot control and the ability to carry the ball at least 200 yards off the tees from the blue box. Course is in great condition. The back nine allows for more drivers off the tee where the front is more irons. Will definitely play here again. Was paired with a great group who had course knowledge. This helped and was worth at least 3-5 strokes. Shoutout to Minnie Driver for keeping things entertaining.
