Reems Creek Golf Course

Course conditions were good. Pace of play was a little slower than I like, but it may have been because of the mountains terrain.

The staff was extremely accommodating. I would definitely recommend this course if you are in the area and looking for a fun,, scenic and affordable round of golf.

First, I fall into the group who really like this course; Fun and pretty fair selection of holes and distances.

Having said that I can understand why a number of players complain about it - the elevation changes, with lots of uphill approaches, and blind shots can throw off a lot of GIR golfers. Since I rarely hit a GIR, lol, the annoyance of coming up short due to elevated green was lessened, A yardage book, with hole illustration, is definitely your friend first few times you play. Course was a little soggy in spots and greens seemed well-tended but are by no means fast.

Staff, particularly the young lady handling check-in, was friendly and helpful.

All in all, a really nice, reasonably placed, track to grab a round of golf.

I really like this place. Very nice bent grass greens. I’m sure the heavy rains of recent make keeping bunkers in shape nearly impossible. Fairways are also saturated in the low points. Take relief and fire away. Good value with cart being almost mandatory. I wouldn’t even consider walking.

Lots of elevation changes into the greens make club selection and distance estimates challenging for the first time player...tip: add 2 clubs when you think 1 is enough! Vistas can’t be beat. Will definitely play here again next time I’m in Asheville..

This was one of the funnest courses I have ever played. Layout is great. Fairways and greens were in great shape. The bunkers can use some work but overall this makes for a great round esyfor the money. Would recommend to anyone in the area

Nice course. Bunkers recently washed out due to rain but they were busy repairing

I used to play here all the time cause I live 10 minutes from the course and RC was formerly known as a top notch course. The new owners that took over a while back have let the course deteriorate, especially the traps, so I quit playing here.

I heard rumors that the course was being improved and I scored a $20 hot deal to check it out.

The fairways and greens were in great shape and I didn't get a bad lie as long as I stayed in the fairway. The greens were rolling nicely and putts held their lines.

However, I would up in 2 bunkers and they were both unplayable.

As others have said, rocks are prominent in the bunkers, rocks as big as your golf ball! I believe in playing the ball as it lies, that's the rule. BUT, I'm not going to risk injury or damaging my club due to management neglecting maintenance! My playing partner and I determined both bunkers unplayable and I dropped outside the bunker. He also hit into 3 bunkers and wasn't able to play due to the rocks.

Reems is such a great layout and beautiful place to play! The course is a bargain if you get a HD tee time but beware of the bunkers.

Too bad that management can't place a priority on cleaning up the bunkers and Make Reems Great Again!

I have played this course many times over the years and have always enjoyed the difficulty and shot placement required to score well at this course. Not every hole is a driver hole and elevation comes into play on a majority of holes which gives it a great mountain golf feel. My most recent trip here left me disappointed. The bunkers were in horrible condition mostly washed out and filled with rocks and clay. The rough just seemed sloppy with large grass clippings everywhere. The greens and fairways were in good shape but parts of the course just felt neglected compared to what it used to be. Also pace of play was frustrating having to wait about five minutes a shot from hole #8 on. Being a single golfer I understand having to wait on very busy days, but when the course is wide open except the threesome and foursome ahead of me and not being allowed to play thru nor seeing a ranger of any sort, it becomes extremely frustrating to have an almost four hour round as a single. While I would recommend this course if a deal is offered, I would not recommend it for the almost fifty dollars they are asking compared to other courses in the area.

I hadn't played Reems Creek for at least 10 years. I love the course layout. The elevation changes are a real treat since I'm a Florida player and the views are awesome. As mentioned in several previous reviews many of the bunkers are in poor condition. I put my approach shot in the 7th hole right green side bunker and found it littered with granite stones. There was very little sand. it wouldn't take much effort to remove the stones from that bunker. I noted numerous bunkers with hard packed clay based sand. Some of the fairways were infested with weeds. The practice range tee was nothing but weeds. On a positive note the greens were well maintained. Overall it was a positive experience and the price was reasonable. Given the current state of our economy it may be that priority is given to the condition of the greens and they don't have the funds to keep the remainder of the course in equivalent condition. I will play it again next trip to NC.

Our first time playing Reems Creek, would go back again, price is right. Bunkers were unplayable due to very hard rains the last 3 of 4 days very understandable. I think if we played this course regularly we would score much better. A bigger concern was the number of twosomes and singles playing we were constantly letting them play through and then they'd get held up buy other foursomes so pace of play was very slow, five hour round.

We were happy to find the greens and fairways in very good condition. However most of the bunkers were just mud. And the tee boxes could have used a mowing. Great, fun layout.There were a couple of blind tee shots, but each hole has a diagram by the back tees.

The pro shop staff was very friendly, but we stopped in the grill after our round to get something to eat. The were out of hamburger, fries, chicken salad, tea, and had one hot dog, but no chili. They did have some tuna salad sandwiches, but it wasn't clear when they were made, We ate elsewhere.

We'd love to come back, but it would be nice to know the issues with their bunkers had been addressed.

I played in March and the course was in awesome condition. Crazy cool layout. The course has elevation changes of over 100 ft atleast. A notable hole is no. 4, tee shot to a dogleg left fairway that drops way down a mountain. Greens and quick and bunkers are all over the course. Great challenge.

My fiancé and I love playing golf. It is just fun for us. This is the most challenging course we play. (Even though I did get my first birdie at the 11th hole). The 18th hole is my favorite and if I ever bogey this hole, I will feel that I have accomplished something. Also, the fairways and greens have greatly improved over the past year.

Course was in great shape!!! Good lay out , tricky greens...

Amazing course with beautiful views!! Lots of elevation change with descent challenges. Couple blind holes to manage, would have been a little better if there was a course map to help in these situations. Would definitely play again though!!

Value was great, course was in the shape you would expect for early April in the mountains. Greens were fantastic smooth and challenging (Lots of false fronts and undulations). There were a lot of blind shots both tee and approach made for some tough leaves on the greens and fairways. I would definitely play it again.

Have played at Reems Creek for several years and the course has never been in better shape. Dave and his grounds crew has worked miracles with the greens. Hartwell is a friendly and helpful general manager and Jeremiah makes great lunches.

The coarse was very wet from all the rain, it is mostly unmowed and unplayable. Impossible to find a ball, Took 5 1/2 hours. Way to many steep hills and blind shots.

Beautiful Mountain Course. Greens are in amazing shape. Fairways in excellent shape as well. The bunker could use some sand, but considering the amount of rain they have had I can give them a pass. Very hilly course...lots challenging shots and great views, too. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Offered to let us come back and finish when the rain let up...unfortunately it did not. Looking forward to going back.
