Black Mountain Blues

A par 6 747 yd hole? How cool is that? The course was in great shape and had some wet areas due to the recent rain but the staff and course were great. We had a 4some walking in front of us and they let us play through so we finished 18 ( even played the par 6 twice) and will return. The greens were recently sanded but still ran OK. We will play this course again when staying near Asheville.

Good value but slow greens

First time playing this course and I enjoyed my round except for very slow and a few bumpy greens. Loved the views and the par 6 hole. I would recommend this course to friends.

Great Vistas

Black Mountain Golf Course was fun to play with many challenging holes and great vistas of the Black Mountain Range. However, pace of play was extremely slow for the first nine played in just under three hours. It did pick up on the back, as slow gofers only played nine holes. Pro shop was nothing to talk about and the staff was not friendly.

I would go back as the vistas was great and we love playing golf n the Carolina mountains.

Great course. Beautiful views!

BMGC was challenging and fun to play! The greens were coated in some sort of fertilizer and that was my only complaint. The course is in great shape! The views are incredible!

Great Bones, Terrible Condition

The front 9 designed by Donald Ross are a great collection of holes that weave around themselves in typical Ross fashion. Love the green complexes and approaches into the greens from the fairways. The back 9 has great mountain views and an enjoyable layout.

It is hard to look past the torn up fairways, excessive top dressing on the greens (at least .5 inch of sand in places), making putting useless. Most punched/top dresses greens can still be putted on, however these were so thickly top dressed that it felt like wet snow on every green.

Pro shop is nearly empty, no driving range, and old carts. So much potential for a gem of a mountain course.
