Asheville Municipal Golf Course

Cart paths in very bad condition.
Tees, fairways overgrown.
Some fairways have no grass in large areas.
Greens have numerous dead grass spaces.

This course has a major problem in that there are no marshals on the course. Pace of play was pathetic . Also half of the fairways had no grass on it. They need to invest some money in maintenance , grass, and cart paths. This course could be a nice municipal , but at the rate it’s headed, landfill looks more likely.

Tee boxes were pretty good, Greens were poor to fair, quite bumpy and did not put a true line. Fairways were extremely lacking grass, especially on the back 9. The front side is fairly flat and pretty playable. The back 9 is like playing mountain valleys and for the most part, had large dry areas with little or no grass. Fairways were in poor condition. This course was probably once a very nice outing but in it's present condition, i wouldn't bother to play it again until there is some significant maintenance work done. If this is municipally owned, the city needs to ante up some money and put this course back into good condition. Right now, especially the back 9 is not worth playing.

This is the worst maintained course in the Asheville area. It continues to decline. So sad. Well designed by Donald Ross with an inspiring history, story and Muni video regarding racial equity. But neglect is everywhere and both the City of Asheville and Pope Management can share the blame.

Greens not great but good. Overall for a group of duffers great for the money. Staff ver nice.

Terrible conditions. Best thing is under topdressed, unmowed, fungus riddled greens. Bare tees, concrete bunkers, dead fairways. The worst it has been in decades.

Great little course that was relaxing, fun, and chaallenging.

Beat up, overplayed, not maintained. I quit after nine. I won't go back until there is new management.

This is a great Don Ross layout that has been left for dead. There are brown and dirt areas in the fairways. There are areas of high grass in the middle of fairways. I’m not sure if they are hazardous or ground under repair. The greens have areas with dead grass. Some of the tees have areas without grass. The courses was packed, so there should be plenty of revenue for maintenance. It took 2 and half hours to play the front nine. The two nines are totally different. The front is open and the back is through the woods,. It’s a great track that needs a lot of TLC.

Fairways and tee boxes were in bad shape. Slow play and waited 40 minutes to tee off. Greens were good but everything else needs work.

Ok for practicing shots but greens are spotty to say the least and unkept and fairways are thin and bare

This is a great Donald Ross design, unfortunately the place is really run down and the course conditions are very poor. I played with my wife and 2 local players. The ladies tees were impossible to find as several holes had no markers. The staff was friendly, golf carts are in very poor condition. This course needs a huge infusion of funds and a lot of work to bring it back, including the clubhouse.

I’ve played many courses in my 71 years. This one was in the worst condition of any I can remember. Many of the greens had unseeded dark patches; the fairways had many rough spots or bare dirt and several unmarked sewage ditches that posed serious injury hazards. The “tee boxes” were basically non-existent and/or poorly marked. The course has been seriously neglected.

12:08 tee time booked on GolfNow. Tee time was not honored until 12:40 because of the men’s league that tees off between 11:30 and 12:30. Had to leave the course on the thirteenth hole because of the twenty minute wait to tee off and we were on pace for a 7 hour round. If there is a men’s league that goes from 11:30 to 12:30 why are there available tee times during that time?
