The Cleghorn Club

As of May 1, 2014, Cleghorn is playable. The greens will take awhile, but you can get a roll going and the ball stays pretty well on line. Slow...yes, and your pitch shots will stop on a dime, but there is grass. Just do not show up this spring/early summer expecting to play a money game with consistent conditions. The bunkers are pretty good, details not relevant to playability around the course have been tended to nicely. Fairways are playable and have a healthy look from the tee with some thin, sporadic growth when you actually get to the ball. Tees have grass and some crabgrass, and the rough is similar....grass/crabgrass blend. Staff was very friendly, and I am excited for Cleghorn's rejuvenation. Give it a chance...find out rates, show up with the right attitude, and just enjoy this wonderful layout! I always do...

Played here several years ah. I returned without knowing that the course had been closed down for two years and just reopened in March. All things considered it's coming along and will be in good shape before to long. A little rough right now. My wife enjoyed because it us very short from forward tees.

Course just needs some time to get into playing shape.
Greens were basically sand because Bermuda had not grown in. Fairways were hard so you got a good bit of roll.
By the fall of '14 this should be a jewel.
Brand new electric carts were great.

I have played this course for over 30 years, and without a doubt, the worst greens I have EVER putted on. End of April, greens should be in good hope in the south, but these had no grass, only sand. Very disappointed. Would no
Teens theses recommend to play until summer around July.

First off, don't use the directions linked to from GolfNow, they are worthless. Call the clubhouse! This course has just recently reopened on March 1, 2014. Prior to that it sat dormant for 2 plus years. It is not in prime condition at all. It is difficult to tell fairways from rough, but you can at least see that effort is being made by new owners. Greens, although they look horrible, rolled remarkably true. I gave it 5 stars for value because I paid $17 w/hot deal. Honestly, at this stage in the game, that would be the max I'd pay to play here, I'm also 40 minutes away from this course with many other options between me and Cleghorn. However, in a year, this should be a great place to play. The layout is challenging, lots of up and down and several holes with water. Despite it not being in the greatest condition, I enjoyed playing here and will visit again. The staff consisted of one young man checking people in at the clubhouse and he was very friendly and helpful when I called for directions. I only had a bottled water, that is why no rating for food.

It was our first time playing on this course and we really enjoyed it. The scenery was amazingly beautiful!!! We will definitely be back soon!!

Course only reopened about a month ago after a 18 month period of no maintainense. Greens are very soft and young feeling though they are not new. I player this golf course about two years ago and it was excellent I hope it returns to its former glory soon.

The course has been shout down for a few years and has just recently reopened, the greens were sanded and you could tell they have done a lot to the fair ways and around the greens to get it going in the right direction again. this use to be one of the best courses in North Carolina, with that said ,we went there to play in support of there reopening, cant wait to go back in a month or so.

I like the course layout. The course has been closed for over a year and not maintained. The greens are in poor condition due to lack of maintenance over the past year. I am glad that Clegman has reopened and look forward to playing it again when maintenance has brought it up to good condition.

My buddies and I couldn't be more thrilled to be back at our favorite track.

It's clear the staff and ownership is committed to returning Cleghorn to its full potential. Every club in your bag matters as you wind through the classic NC terrain.

I brought the wife and kids and dropped them at the pool :) Everybody won!

Cleghorn's layout is one of the best in WNC. It makes you target your shots. Fairways and greens are bermuda and have the dormant winter brown. Looking forward to playing in late spring when the fairways are green and the greens are freshly cut.

Course has been closed and just opened again in March. Give the course a couple of month to get back into shape and this will be a must play course. Course has new carts!!! Great staff!!!! Play this course!!!!

This course has had its ups and downs. It is just not in good shape right now. Greens are brown with a lot of weeds. Course had to be bush hogged when they opened it back up. However, it is a great layout and extremely challenging. They just opened again March 1. So I would give it a couple months of warm weather to grow in then give it another try.

Understanding the hardships this course has gone thru and not being taken care of like it needed the course is in poor shape.However we have been coming here for over 25 years and know the course can get back in great shape.We are thrilled it is open again.see you soon
