Interesting

Really good greens, fairways nice, tee boxes ok. Many large greens but narrow and long. Approach shots need to come from correct angles. Medium speed if u can't putt it's going to be a long day. The front is the more difficult with the back being a joy to play as it opens up a little. The course plays to slope rating on card. Will definitely play again as the views and overall conditions are worth it.

Chestnut Improving

Played Chestnut in mid-April and course conditions have improved - fairways have better grass coverage, greens in good shape, rough is a bit thick, tee boxes still improving & I wasn’t in any sand! A short summer shower slowed play conditions, typical of summer golf in the Blue Ridge. A fun semi-private course.

Excellent course and beautiful place!

The course is in great condition, amazing 3D mountain Golf - with downhill shots into lush green valleys. They keep the place in wonderful condition and the staff is super friendly. Vire of mountains and valleys all green as it gets, subtropical rainforest. They have loaner clubs included and Cart fee is included too. Value, meets beauty, and pretty challenging course. Many risk reward decisions but the money is on the ones that keep it straight! Definitely enjoyed and will return!

Nice

Nice course for the price. The grass could have been cut. I lost a few balls bc the grass was so tall. Staff was very helpful and friendly.

The course was decent and would play there again. However, the GPS on both carts were off by about 20-30 yards. Also, some spots on the cart paths needed to be repaired.

Overall, it was a fun and challenging course.

Excellent value

Great course, beautiful scenery. Though the 13th hole was a bit quirky, the rest of the course made up for the experience. Would definitely play again.

Great course

A lot of our courses in this area were damaged by hurricane Helene. Chestnut Mountain has done a fantastic job of restoring it and making one of the better places around to golf and enjoy golf. Challenging and he had very fair and fun.

Hilly. Quirky. Fun!

Located in a gated community, this is a hilly and quirky course that is actually pretty fun to play. As first-timers, we had to learn as we went along, and there are a few holes we would play differently the next time. The staff was very friendly, even walking out to give us the "lay of the land", which was basically a course that winds up-and-down through a hilly area near Asheville. It would be a strenuous walk, so we were happy to have taken a cart. The holes tend to be fairly narrow, but because of trees, not houses. There was a good mix of par3s, par4s and par5s. Length was pretty reasonable, and some blind shots come into play. The conditions were early-season, but should improve nicely through the spring and into summer. We will play here again.

Greening up!

Play here at least 6 times per year. Fairways are greening up. Like the course alot. Negatives. Greens were insanely slow, I know we have had a bunch of rain, but really need a cut and roll. All 4 of us were leaving putts short all day, even on downhill runs. Tee box at 11, please mow it!!! It is as thick as the rough, and is that way alot. Other tee boxes need work, very uneven, patchy, hard to find a even stance. Let the rough right side of 16 fairway grow, one should not end up on the other side of the cart path when driver is straight as an arrow down the middle. 2nd time this year it has happened to more than one in the group. See ya again soon!

Still tough.

Great course. Typically very well kept although a couple of tee boxes weren’t trimmed down like they should’ve been. But very challenging. If you’re looking to get yourself a challenge on the course this course definitely offers it. Very hilly and mountainous and a lot of undulation with approach shots and greens. I can typically stay in the low to mid 80s, but this course I am typically in the low to mid 90s every time easily.

Disabled players beware!!!

Greens were great, but fairways and tee boxes need some work. They failed to honor our disabled status(breathing issues) and didn't disable the carts GPS which required a LOT of up and down walking. Bar made a decent bloody mary.

Hilly

Disappointed I did not know of this course last year - a friend recommened it to me - finally weather was good for golf - despite frost in the Ground and bunkers the course was I pretty good shape considering the time of year.

Was lucky to play with a local guy who could guide otherwise I would have been in more problems than I got. Will definitely be back again.
