The Cleghorn Club

Great place to play in WNC. The greens were tricky and were very slow from all the rain we have had recently. The course was well marked and had no blind shots. Very difficult though. Like others have said you definitely have to work hard to score.

Decent course with some views but only the front 9 were open so we had to play those twice. The course was made more challenging because it was autumn and the leaves hadn't been taken care of and it was very wet and soggy. Tarps were left to the sides of the greens to prevent early frost damage. We were lucky they didn't interfere with our game but the duo in front of us had issues on almost every hole. Slowed play down a bit. We lost a lot of good balls because the leaves were so thick on the ground. There are 3 holes that are almost identical and we got a good laugh at that. Tee's are high above the greens, one had water on right, another on left and then no water. Rather odd to see so much familiarity on just 9 holes. Someone lacked for imagination in the design. The snack bar offers the usual variety and we had 2 cheeseburgers that were included with our rounds and these were way above par. About the best burgers we've had in along time! For the money, $13 each for each with cart and lunch, it was a GREAT bargain. Course is challenging with or without leaves but could have been in better condition overall. Its probably better in summer and spring.

It is the "meanest" course I've played... but the most fun. We threw out the score card at the third hole and started to "work". It is a fantastic golf experience.

On my top 15 list with Bryan Park and Oak Hollow if Greensboro NC.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I play this course often even though its an hour from home.
I feel its an excellent value.

Enjoyed my first round at Cleghorn and looking forward to the next round.

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,.

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.

Beautiful golf course. Every lie in the fairway was perfect, greens were in great shape. Glad we found this mountain course.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
