Great shape!

I have been playing this course regularly since 1993, it is in the best condition I have ever played it! The staff is very friendly and the course has some of the more beautiful views, especially from the 14th tee. One can see the Blue Ridge mountains and a perfect view of Mt. Pisgah! Great Course...a must play if you are ever close enough to play it.

Great day

The golf course was in great shape ! My wife and I played in 3 1/2 hours which was good. So much beauty and deer just about on every hole. It’s a little out of the way but well worth the trip.

Just, WOW

For those of us who are used to playing flatter courses, the course was a beast. Tons of elevation changes and fairway slopes. It is visually beautiful with lots of animals helping us play. The course was in very good shape. The next time we are in the area, we will play here again. I want to try to get even.

Beautiful scenery!

This course is amazing!! Only wish it was closer to where I live. The condition was perfect tee to green. Very fair and enjoyable. Nice seeing so many Deer on at least 1/2 of the holes we played. Can’t wait to return to this gem!!

Width and Angles

Connestee is a sneaky good golf course for better players, all while being purposefully set up for your older, or more average golfer. There are whiffs of classic architecture all over the place, with big fairways and some small, tricky greens. The penalty for missing greens isn’t usually too awful, but the penalty for missing fairways is a little bit tougher. They rule what most course say is out of bounds as lateral hazard, which I think is smart for this kind of golf course. It definitely speeds up play and retains pertinence of accuracy. A good example is the par 5 15th. The tee shot invites you hit Driver as hard as you can, with a big fairway and a few dozen feet of elevation loss. However, that elevation loss shrinks that fairway considerably, and you can be in the lateral hazard pretty easily. But then you’re hitting your 3rd shot like your 2nd and the chance at par is still palpable, though challenging.

They keep the greens relatively slow but this seems appropriate for the size and slopes of the greens. If they got those greens fast I don’t think anyone would really enjoy that (masochists though we are).

Overall, it’s a great country club course that they graciously make available for the public, and it’s a great course for an advanced golfer to check all facets of their game. Combining this with the accessibility of this course to beginners (couldn’t help but notice the junior and family tees (AWESOME)) and the reasonable price point, Connestee modestly presents what more golf course should strive for.
