Springdale Resort

While the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, the course just did not live up to my expectations. The potential is there for the course to be a hidden gem in the mountains, but right now it is not. The front nine was a challenge and in better shape than the back only because there was a discernible difference between the rough and the fairway on some holes. There are simply better options in the surrounding area for close to, if not less than, the $28 hot deal that I booked through golf now.

Was ext.remely pleased with the whole experience. The fairways were in great shape as were the greens. The back side is open with not a lot of trouble, The front is a bit more of a challenge as the holes are a bit more narrow. Been telling my friends and can't wait to get back.

Great lay out greens were great will hold a shot coming in

If you are looking for a great place to enjoy a challenging round of golf in the NC mountains, I highly recommend the Springdale Country Club in Canton (near Bethel). Front nine are all mountain holes and the back nine are more in the valley. You will appreciate the back nine after the challenge of the front nine!! LOL!! Definitely give Springdale a try if you are in the area!!

Other than a few wet spots in a couple of areas, this course was a pleasant course to play. I started on the back 9, which was the flat portion of this course, and some much needed confidence for the front 9. The front being the more mountainous portion with blind shots and the infamous "spasm;" which I proudly made a bogey. This is a course I plan to play much more frequently.

Great day for golf and the course played fair. Could use better yardage markers and water coolers.

Played Sun.7/8/18 at 11am; first time back in 4yrs. Course is in very good condition; the big greens held approach shots & putted very smooth. Fairways were good and recent rains had some traps still too wet, but there are very few traps. It's good the course has you play the less hilly side first, to get you warmed up for the second 9, the hilly side.To make this a true gem, the course needs to add a "Silver" set of tees.Right now there is 700 yds between the White tees & the Gold. That's too big a gap. Put in a "Silver" set of tees on holes #4, 6, 7, 10, 11, 15 & 17. For these 7 holes, have a set of tee markers at least 25yds shorter, to make them more playable for the weekend golfer. The other 11 holes, the "Silver" tees could be the same as the Whites.The course needs a set of tees closer to 6,000 to 6,100yds for the Senior player. Those other 7 tough holes now leave you a 180-200yd shot for your second shot on a par 4 hole. That's too long. Fix that, and this course will be a Gem!

This is a wonderful course located in one of the scenic locales in the North Carolina Mountains. The course was built to be challenging and lives up to that reputation. The grounds needed a bit of work but the course was recently purchased and the new ownership is rapidly making major improvements. The layout is very well designed, some broad and some narrow fairways, some deadly water traps and creeks that eat balls regularly. Each hole is unique. I highly recommend this as a weekend getaway, the package offers nice well kept cabins, a terrific dining room, new golf carts, and the best staff around to meet any of your needs.

We love playing here and recommend to anyone who will listen.

We booked days in advance for this course. Upon arrival we were told that there was a local members "tournament" starting at 12:00. Our T-time was set for 11:50am. Several comments were made by the members that we were not from around here. The tournament was set up as "best ball" play. Our party of four were not playing best ball. Calls were made from the tournament members to the Pro Shop that we were "holding up the world" according to the course ranger who was very rude. After the front nine, we waited in the "dining room" area to allow the members to play through ahead of us, so as not to hold them up. After waiting close to an hour, we resumed our game. On the first t-box we were approached again by some of the members who were very rude. We explained that we were just doing what we had been told to do by the employees in the Pro Shop. I would recommend not playing this course if you are looking for a nice, relaxing game of golf. It's unfortunate because the course is in a beautiful setting. The facilities are definitely dated and outsiders are not welcome.

I hadn't played this course in many years as it went through a rough time with changes in ownership but what a great change it was for the better.

It was n very good shape and fun to play.

Greens were holding to well hit shots, greens putting true and consistent.

I plan to play this course as my time allows and with it being on Golfnow with some great rates, I plan to play it often.

I would make it a must play course if coming anywhere close to Asheville - In my opinion as good as other resorts and more fun.

Loved playing here with my wife. View, course conditions and pace of play were excellent. Great value and experience.

I was suprised that the green fee (Sunday) was $49.

I played this course a few years ago and the weekend green fee was in the $30's.

Course conditions were ok, maybe 6 out of 10 stars. Bunkers are completely unkept with crab grass in many. We made a layout rule since the bunkers had not been maintained in a long time. Fairways and tee boxes are ok 7 out of 10. The large greens while slow were in better shape and I'd rate 8 out if 10 stars, staff was very curtious. The day we played temperatures were in the mid 80's and we were disappointed to find that there is no on course water coolers. The course location is very scenic and many holes are as well. The front 9 is unforgiving for mid to high handicap players. Missing the fairway by even a narrow margin resulted in many lot balls. The front 9 is more forgiving. I would play this course again if the green fees were in line with the course condition.

Course is improving nicely. Great layout, best around this area. New owners are making improvements. With a little time, I think they will have the course as good as any.

The greens are in excellent condition. The course has some good views. The sand traps needed some work. A bit of a drive but a fine course.

I used to play this course regularly when I lived in the area, but moved five years ago. Before I left the place was going downhill, and playing conditions really suffered. I heard that they had new owners and, since I needed to spend the day in the area, wanted to see for myself how things were progressing. I'm happy to report that the course is on the way back. The greens are in very good shape, tees and fairways are coming along, and the staff is giving excellent customer service. A wonderful improvement to a great course.

Just found this course and love it. New owners are taking care of course nicely.

The new Ownership group at Springdale is pouring their heart and soul into this magical place. I have been coming for 35 years, and our group of 12 for 28 years, and we are very excited about the improvements that have already been made. I highly recommend Springdale CC - you won't be disappointed!
