a nice muni course

Staff was very friendly and professional. Course was full, but pace of play was consistent so no problem. Numerous members struck up conversation with our group, very nice. Never been around that many friendly golfers EVER. Greens were good condition, but lots of unrepaired ball marks. will play there again. Only negative was course yardage markers were hard to find.

Very well maintained. Good greens and well kept overall.

A very playable course if you select the appropriate tees. We were all senior players and found the senior length very enjoyable. Greens hold shots very well and are in very good condition. Fairways and tees are also well maintained. Good food and an overall good value. The views of the mountains are spectacular this time of year.

The course was in alot better shape than the last time I played it. The greens were in great shape and rolled pretty true for a change. Keep up the good work staff!

Course was good but....

the corse was good but, I booked a tee time of 4:36 for 3 people to ride 18..but when we got to course the man asked if we were riding 9... I said no we are riding 18 and he said you have to have carts in before 7.. Corse rules... So we paid and got in 12 holes before we had to turn in our carts... No complaints about the man at the counter or the course , my complaint is this site sould keep up with these courses and there times and not let you book a 18 hole round if you can't play it reasonable

Quality course.

I play this course loads of times and I can honestly say it never gets old. This is not too difficult of a course, but it has sharp doglegs and numerous elevation changes that add to the overall quality of the course. It's known for it's par 6 and that is definitely a fun hole. The course is twenty minutes from Asheville and is definitely worth the drive. Great views and friendly clubhouse managers make playing here much more enjoyable. I would recommend this course to any golfer looking for a quality round and great value for the money!!

Best shape of the year

Black Mountain has had some drainage and general upkeep problems over the past two years but those have been largely resolved this summer. The course is in the best shape in recent memory. Growth in the creeks has been cut back and with few exceptions, the greens look and putt great.

compact course with a stretch

Black Mountain is a pleasure to play. It has very reachable par 4s, challenging par 3s, and one of the longest holes in the country (nearly 750 yards) - all surrounded by beautiful mountain vistas. Several holes require detailed shot plans. For instance, a moderate driver will find a narrow but ball-catching stream on the otherwise easy 460 yard hole #2. Hole #12, with its blind uphill dogleg configuration, will eat shots that stray only slightly to either side. This is a fun course - with enough challenge for average players.

Had a difficult time finding the tee boxes

This course layout was as though the design was to fit as many holes in a small area as possible. The greens were in bad condition and you couldn't read them and I really had a difficult time knowing where the fairways were. The fairways were not cut properly. I felt as though I was playing in a cow pasture. I am glad I only paid $22 for green fees.

Fun and challenging course

Could not comment on the food and beverage, it was closed at our time of being there due to a contract dispute.

There was a meandering creek throughout the course that gobbled up a few of our errant shots.

The bent grass was a great relief after playing a week on brown bermuda in Georgia.

The par 6 was very interesting!
