Chestnut Mountain Golf Club

Course is fun to play. Helps having knowledge of where and what to hit on certain holes. Greens are all kidney shaped so lots of short sides chips if you missed. Pins were all placed on slopes so very tricky to putt. Cart paths and tee boxes need some work but other than that course was in great shape.

No course layout on scorecards or on Hole signage so as someone playing the course for the first time, there were quite a few blind holes. Navigating the course was unclear at times just due to lack of signs from hole to hole as well.

Seems like they are renovating the bunkers little by little as only a few holes had sand. The majority of them were grass which made for some tough lies.

Fairways and greens in great condition. Staff was all very friendly and food was solid. Pace of play was great. Not crowded at all for a Sunday. Place has potential as they continue to renovate.

This course has SO much potential, but the conditions, especially on the front 9 are not very good at all. Very little to no grass on the tee boxes. Ling weeds in the fairways. I will say for the most part the greens are in good shape.

Conditions on the back improve and there are some interesting holes.

The setting for the course is beautiful, I just wish a little more went into the conditions (including the carts paths- they are teeth rattlers!).

Two foursomes held up the entire course … all day. All eight of them should have been in a bar somewhere. Played the last hole as an 8-some. They were so loud we thought we were playing at the Waste Management tournament. They were at the Wasted Duffers tournament. They were waisting everyone’s time interacting with one another. The round took 5 hours and 20 minutes to complete. Course was in great shape, staff was great. Heard several people in front of us stating that the senior rate should be lowered from 65 to 60 or even 55.

Course had dried out over the last couple of days, so fairways and greens were lush but not soggy; fairways were well groomed and greens fairly fast and true; a few bare spots in shaded areas; some of the tee boxes needed better sod/grass; rough around greens was thick and cause for targeting Greens In Regulation(!); remains a very good value for a challenging course with great views!

Unfortunately the 2 weeks I was in Asheville were some of the rainiest days they have ever had. This beautiful course was unfortunately soaked everywhere and made an already challenging course even harder.

If I'm back in Asheville again, will definitely play. Its very scenic and has some great holes that will challenge any golfer.

Played this morning, our last day in Asheville. It’s been raining everyday for the past 13 days so playing golf this and last week was sloppy and wet. The benefit is the course is in great shape. Unfortunately not being a long hitter definitely shortened my drives and approach shots as the ball stuck into the ground and no bounce or carry.

The layout is nice, beautiful views, gorgeous scenery. The challenges are knowing where to land on the greens. These greens have lots of elevation changes and hitting past a flag means downhill putts that even with a light touch they roll 4-5 yards past the hole.

The Pro Shop personnel are very helpful and the other players I came across were super nice. Someday I would like to play this course on dry turf!

I understand that this course is in transition, but it has a way to go. The tee boxes are all crabgrass and dirt. It felt like teeing off from the rough. The cart path routes and condition are very poor. Cart paths on the roadway, in home driveways, on the grass, etc. are not appealing to me. A number of greens were bumpy, causing the ball to change course. Access to tee boxes was dangerous on some holes - scrambling up rock piles or on deteriorated landscape timbers. The views are beautiful, but the course needs work.

Two days of rain slowed the course down - lag putts slow & harder to judge speed, no roll on fairways, high approach shots stuck at landing and cart-path-only slowed play - but all warranted by wet conditions. Added to the challenge. Still a very good value.

Course greens and fairways in great shape; some tee boxes threadbare or mixed grasses; rough is mixed grasses and thick, even adjacent to greens; staff friendly; online booking easy; very good value!

If you’re in the Asheville area, I completely recommend playing this great course. Greens are in excellent shape. Lots of the fairways are in good shape too and piece of play was great. Great value for the money. Nice work bringing this course back.

There are many good things about this course, but they need to extend the closest fairway off the tee to the left on 13. This hole is really a terrible design for all players.

The red tee boxes were in horrendous shape, even on holes where the other tees were fine.

No water on the course either.

Beautiful day on a challenging mountain course - fairways and greens in great shape, rough was a fair challenge to hit out of and traps in good shape. Tees and asphalt cart paths in need of improvement. Staff friendly. Very fair price!

Enjoyable round of golf, went as a single the club paired me with another single. Had a very enjoyable day.

Staff very accommodating, friendly and informative.

Would recommend playing when in the area.

First time playing Chestnut Mountain. The course is a true mountain course and the views are spectacular. The course is in good condition. However, the tee boxes are very hard so getting a tee in the ground can be challenging. The course has holes on both sides of the mountain. Enjoyed all the holes. Definitely will play the course again and with a little course knowledge I expect to play it even more. We enjoyed our round.
