great views, fantastic staff, super value.
On my top 15 list with Bryan Park and Oak Hollow if Greensboro NC.
Great value!
This course is a great value!
They have the correct mindset to be a successful course which
is shown from grounds crew to staff pro. Everyone appreciates the guests.
The course condition is well above average and improving daily.
I highly recommend you to try this one.
Gem in rutherfordton
Staff was great.. Food was a good value. The golf course lay out will challenge you. Greens were not fast , but rolled well..Pick one more club!! And go at the pin. You will be glad you did.
A Gem of a course
Great value for the money. Excellent staff and friendly atmosphere. A gem of a course with beautiful views and course layout, providing the seasoned player and the novice with a great round for the monies. Beer on tap from local breweries and traditional flavor too.
Challenging
The challenge of a mountainous course is here. Great holes, demanding tees shots and challenging greens. Enjoyed every minute of the round. Beautiful scenery and very friendly staff.
Don't miss "Wicked Wednesdays"!
This was the first time I played Cleghorn Plantation. Unbeknownst to me, every Wednesday after Labor Day is "Wicked Wednesday", which includes unlimited range balls (didn't take advantage as I didn't have time prior to my round), 18 holes with cart for $25. You can also get as many hot dogs as you can eat for $1 each and beers for $1 each. What better day to play!!
The course itself is pretty straight forward; the starter was helpful in pointing out that most greens are elevated, requiring 1/2 to 2 clubs extra (according to him). The course was in good shape - the greens were fairly slow but pretty much rolled true. Some of the fairways were "splotchy" but most were in good condition. The layout is hilly but not treacherous. Good variety of holes and greens are mostly large and receptive, with interesting undulations and tiers on some.
If you haven't been to Cleghorn Plantation, I'd recommend checking it out. According to the 2 guys I was paired up with, the new owners have put a lot of time and money into the place, and it shows.
Great course for the $$
We played as a foursome, but luckily we showed up abit earlier than the scheduled tee time. If we would have showed up on time or even 5 min early we would have been stuck behind a group of 8 people with a group of 6 behind them. Seems like they could schedule times a little better. But overall the course played great and looked great for this time of year.
Best value for the money!
I play this course often even though its an hour from home.
I feel its an excellent value.
Fun and challenging
Enjoyed my first round at Cleghorn and looking forward to the next round.
Wonderful!
Have played this course a few times in the past. Had a friend visiting and thought he would enjoy this course. Staff was super friendly and helpful. We did not encounter anyone in front of us that impacted our pace and on the back 9 let a single play through.
Love the layout. Course was in excellent condition. #17 had some work being done around the green, but did not impact our play. The sand traps were not recently raked, but we had some heavy rains recently. Normally they are excellent.
Had a great time and definitely will return,.
Fun Mountain Course
Many elevation changes and tee shots that require different club selections. Pace of play was somewhat slow but it was 4th of July weekend and busy. Overall course was in great condition. Would play again if in area.
Course was great
Beautiful golf course. Every lie in the fairway was perfect, greens were in great shape. Glad we found this mountain course.
First Timer
We enjoyed the course very much. The condition of the sand traps is poor, either little sand or an inconsistent poor quality dark brown sand layer.
Beautiful mountain design course
This course is absolutely beautiful the design is terrific mountain course you will enjoy the course conditions are terrific greens road very nice fairways quite lush staff very friendly we were the only ones on the course in the afternoon so we played at our own pace
Short and Straight
That's the kind of game you need to have out at Cleghorn. Almost every fairway is tree-lined and you really have to keep the ball in the fairway. Driver is not needed on more than half the holes out there. Surprisingly you can find your ball down in the woods, but it doesn't take much for your ball to find them. If your hitting fairways at Cleghorn, you're going to have a good round.
Nice find....
Got a great rate and decided to ride over from Brevard and give it a try. We will be back, the Golf Coarse was in great shape and the staff very friendly.
Not quiet there yet
Today was the first time that I have went back to Cleghorn since it reopened again. The course is coming back and you can tell the management is trying to get the course back to what it used to be, but its not quiet there yet. I'd love to play it towards the end of the growing season, and I bet it would be wonderful. The layout is still great and the scenery is beautiful. The tea boxes are still growing in, and there are large bare spots on many of them. Same thing with the fairways, the grass hadnt grown in all the way, and there were some bare spots, and the ground was extremely hard. The greens were in nice shape and were soft and rolled great. Speed was about average to a touch on the slow side but rolled straight and true. Overall a nice course that can be a great course with a little more time and TLC.
Grass is growing!
The grass is really starting to come in on the fairways. I played on Thursday when the fairways were freshly cut, and the greens double mowed. They were rolling at the perfect speed. I'd say about a ten. The course has only gotten two or three nights of rain in the last few weeks, but the rain is really setting off the fertilizer. The progression is noticeable.
Amazing as always
This course never ceases to amaze me! From the staff to the golf course to the beverage counter! It's always been great this course never ceases to amaze me! From the staff to the golf course to the beverage counter. This course is amazing! Play it!
This course has a lot of sand!
The course was very clean and well maintained. Each green has an ample amount of sand traps that really challenge the average golfer. Each green does have a fair opening to the putting surface so there is a reward for a good clean shot onto the green. Several winding streams create challenges for fairway shots as do the several well placed lakes. Greens were in excellent condition and very smooth.
