The Cleghorn Club

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.

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.

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!

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.

Played course this past weekend while I was in the area, really good course with a great staff!

I noticed the reviews and rebuttals from the course staff before I made my reservation but for $12 I decided to give it a whirl. I am a 5 handicap and shot 78 so my statements are not because "I was having a bad day". I understand that the course is coming back from financial issues so it will take some time and dedication by the golf staff (which appears to be happening).

Pace - Slow on front due to several elderly groups playing ahead
Layout - Outstanding with elevation changes and a creek dissecting holes on the back nine
Greens - Decent turf but slow...hole edges very jagged which is the norm for Bermuda greens so holes may not have been moved in a while
Fairways and Tees - Grass very sparse...yes I know the difference between no grass and dormant grass (see attached picture from middle of #13 fairway)
Traps - Maintained with good sand consistency
Facilities - Water and Bathrooms after 4 and 14 which my wife always appreciates!

Course maintenance is my top priority in recommending a course...perhaps in a year with a major grass growing effort this course could be what it once was.

I had not played Cleghorn in 15 yrs maybe. The course has not come in yet for the spring, but you can see that this is going to be a great course once the fairways come in...Great Value.

i played the same day as mjedwards. I personally thought the course was in good shape considering the area has had rain the last 3 days. the fairways overall in good shape however the burmuda grass is still dormant. The (few ) bare spots in the fairways appear to be where weeds were and are now gone,which is a good sign that the owner is spending money to correct issues. I played the course early in 2014 and the difference between now and then is amazing. The greens are in great shape and a decent speed. However i know the greens are burmuda and are just coming out of dormancy. I have a strong belief that when the weather warms up they'll be in great shape and up to speed.I see the changes the course is making and looking forward to returning. And for the bunkers the looked like any other course thats had rain. mjedwards must've needed something to blame a bad round on. To the others interested in this course i urge you to try it and not judge it or write reviews on a rainy day. tks.

After playing Cleghorn today, I'm 99% sure the ownership is writing the previous positive reviews. The course was in awful condition. Tee boxes were not level with a mixture of bare dirt/mud and crabgrass. Fairway was just red mud with occasional patches of grass. Greens looked decent but were incredibly slow. Bunkers were unplayable for the most part. Pace of play was good only because we were the only group on the course today. Food counter was closed, but enjoy paying $8 for a tuna salad sandwich or ham and cheese. Brutally bad overall, which is a shame because it really seems like a fun layout.

Top notch. A great place to play. Nice course,great club house

Always fun out here, some interesting holes and history on the property. Par 3's can be brutal! Previous owner repurchased it and is slowly returning it to it's former stature. Good roast beef sandwich!

If we didn't live quite so far away, would play here almost all of the time. Beautiful views, course is in great shape and its never quite as crowded as some of the other public courses.

This course has great character. If the winds blowing it can make it hard

I went to this course mainly because it is halfway between Asheville and my house. My friend met me and another guy out there to play thinking that the course had gotten great reviews it must be in good shape. Come to find it was not even close. To start with the fairways were filled with crab grass and long blades of the normal fairway. The sand traps weren't even playable for the most part. Biggest disapointment was the greens. They all rolled differently. The only constant was they were slow. It felt as if they hadn't cut the greens in a couple of weeks. The course is probably worth a stop if you live within 10 minutes of the course, but DO NOT DRIVE an hour to try it out. Staff was extremely friendly and the beer specials were great.
