Had a great time.

I enjoyed playing the course with my two sons. We are on vacation. There has been a lot of rain and the south course was very wet. Beyond that we had a good time and the course was nice.

Nice course

The course was in decent condition, there were some spots undergoing construction but it was ok. Cart paths pretty beaten up but fairways and greens in good shape. Very pleasant course to play, avg challenge, not too hard. Good for taking company.

Satisfying and forging course near Asheville

I always enjoy Etowah for the forgiving course layout compared to other courses in the area. Excellent value for money.

Sara

Course fairways were plush and greens mostly in good shape. Food is very limited for lunch and no breakfast served. Somewhat isolated location for meals off course.

GPS

My only issue is they are little crazy with the GPS. They have it really struck on some of the fairways that really aren’t needed. That would deter me from playing there sgsin

Great course for the money

Greens could use a little work but very playable. Fairways in good shape. All in all a good value for the cost. Staff very helpful.

Decent layout but frustrating to play

Offering 27 holes and a decent layout, I had high expectations based on the price of green fees here. Unfortunately, those expectations were not met. While it is still early in the season, the course is not in the best condition. Patchy fairways and dead grass are understandable based on the time of year, but the bunkers were devoid of the sand necessary to play a shot effectively. What made our round unforgivable however were the greens. Firstly, the pin locations were more than questionable. I enjoy a well-placed difficult pin, but these were cut on ridges nearly on the fringe, leaving no place to play the ball for a chance at making a putt. Combine this with FIRM, trampoline-like greens that skipped like concrete rather than being receptive to any spin, and it was honestly a scoring nightmare.

Etowah needs some TLC

Played South side first and it was in fairly rough shape, washed out bunkers and poor fairway conditions. The North side was in much better condition.

Stop overpaying for this course

I really don't know where this course gets off thinking it's more than $20 value. The course is either muddy or concrete, no in between. The bunkers are in absolute disrepair and typically have next to no sand in them and end up being unintentional water hazards. They've got 27 holes of golf and not one of them is representative of the $40-45 they are trying to charge for a round. Save your money and go to Cummings Cove or Connesstee instead.
