What the heck?
Course in good shape, pace of play was fine, I was almost alone, then found out why.
Turns out there was a scramble for 5pm, so they close the 9 on which it will take place, telling me to play the other 9 twice, even though I could have been finished with the 9 they were going to use before the scramble would have started.
That's something that should be disclosed when reserving, not witheld until you arrive at the course! If I wanted to play the same 9 twice, I'd go to a 9 hole course! They knew it was going to be that way, and should have let GP know, so it could be disclosed to people who are selecting where and when to play! If half of the course is going to be closed, they need to tell people at some point prior to the day, so other plans can be made. If not when it's being reserved, then contact me as soon as you know!
Disappointed!
Great Course.
Excellent course. Challenging but fair. Course conditions were very good with exception of one of the par 3 holes on the back. The carts have GPS. Would play again. Golf now deal for $50 is a steal.
Best greens within 60 miles
I was pleasantly surprised at the overall conditions. The greens were amazing. Best I have played in the area for quite a while.
Worth a trip
Very solid course and layout. Aside from very slow play on the back nine really enjoyed the day. Difficult course, rough was too thick but was likely due to rain, lost a few balls it was so deep.
Used to be in better shape
Club pro lacks the personality to manage the shop.
The rough was overgrown. Traps were unplayable. Drainage is a problem. 16 green was mostly under water. Had to move the ball most fairways because of standing water. They shut down the front 9 unannounced @2 pm so the members could play a dog fight beginning @ 5 pm. I was made to play the back twice. I would not waste my time driving an hour to this course again.
a ok
nice course, play was sorta slow but it was Saturday.
Great course
2nd time playing here. great deal on Golf Now. Pretty much everything was perfect. Not sure about the negative reviews here, I think there were maybe 2 tee boxes that needed work. Otherwise, fairways were perfect, greens were fast and true. We play all Asheville and surrounding area courses and this is a close 2nd to Springdale, Maggie Valley and Connestee Falls
A Wonderful Mountain Course
Cleghorn is a favorite but on this day I was almost overwhelmed by the heat. With all the rain we've had it was cart path only so that meant a lot of extra walking in very hot and humid conditions. That said, the fairways were not terribly overgrown, and the greens were terrific. The rough was very deep and would have been a test for the pro's I'm sure. It certainly cost me several shots. I love the layout and the variety the course offers and will be back from time to time.
Increased rates and odd policies
Since new management has come in course rates have skyrocketed, unaffordable for locals. Collared shirts are now required for use of the driving range, you no longer can drive your vehicle to the range you have to walk, the new hitting mat on the range is not needed you have 2 tees to use and the course doesn’t open until 2pm on Tuesday. They have a sign for Mulligans snack bar at the entrance, if their rates were lower the course would be full and they wouldn’t have to advertise their snack bar. It’s a shame they have ran off local golfers who have supported this course for decades, hopefully the equestrian center will sell the course in the near future and someone else will come in that wants support the local community better!
An Excellent Course, both Fun & Challenging
This course remains a favorite with a great mix of mountain and lowland golf. Unfortunately the course was exceedingly wet due to recent heavy rains, however not too wet to mow so it played reasonably well and at a decent pace given it was cart path only. The rough was deep but the greens were in excellent shape. Even if you can keep it in the fairway off the tee this course will test you but if you're off even a little be prepared to pay dearly for it. Great layout, excellent condition, and a lot of fun to play.
Cleghorn
Great fairways....playable greens...sand traps not so good. Some good mountain views. Rough was a little high...it's not the US Open ya know.
Beautiful Course Ruined By Members
This course is beautiful. THAT is where it ends. They allow the members to play in FIVE SOMES and they will not let a single or double plat through. They allow urinate on the tee boxes. i am not making this up.,
This place would be first class if they didn't have terrible members ruining the course.
Buyer beware - THEY DO NOT GRANT RAIN CHECKS.
Treasure in the middle of nowhere
Staff was great. Course was great. Definitely recommend taking the drive to get there.
Surprise Mountain Jewel
This course is in excellent condition. The fairways and greens are pretty flawless. The cart paths are not in good shape and so managing around them is key but the course is so worth it! It is a challenging little hidden mountain gem. I will choose to play it regularly. Rates are fair and staff friendly.
Down hill
This place has changed much since last management. Traps are reservoirs, cart paths are dirt roads, and tee beds are torn to pieces. Conditions don’t seem to be a priority as they were previously. Staff is snarky.
Did Not Dissapoint
Really fun course. For the most part the course was in great condition. I will play here again the next time I come into town.
