Great condition!

Fairways on the North and West courses were in excellent condition. Greens were punched on the West but they did such a nice job it really didn't affect my putting.

How sad

Booked a round through GN. They listed tee times on same day as Woman’s member/guest tournament!! Course was backed up over all 27 holes! Over 5 and half hours to play 18 holes! First time playing and will never go back!

Only bright spot was Toby the starter. He did his best trying to help an impossible situation. Also met some really nice members from the course itself. They were just as unhappy as we were....

Good layout in poor shape

We played the South to North as the west had three groups waiting at the turn and the starter gave us the option to go to the North. We appreciated his concern and compliment the staff as they were great. The south course was extremely wet and they had stone blocks to walk through the water to get to the tee boxes. Can't understand why they would send you out on that nine. Fairways were poor with very little bermuda growth. Roughs were not cared for at all. The bunkers had some standing water but that was not in their control as they do not drain well. However, many of the traps have exposed lining fabric and rocks, very poor shape, nothing to do with weather. I hate to see the course in this condition, it has a great heritage just suffering from lack of care.

Very poor maintenance of the course.

I Will NOT play this course again (at any price) until they restore the course to something better than an abused MUNICIPAL Course! Very dissatisfied

I expected better

Greens are in fairly good shape, but the fairways are dead grass and mud. A lot of downed trees yet to be removed. There are a lot of better options in this atea!

Although it was very wet from days of rain, the greens were in very good shape and rolled really well. Look forward to going back when the course dries out.

Nice Course / Peacefull Mountian Settng

I had an opportunity to play on Etowah Valley's South Course November 23, 2018. The clubhouse sets the mood for a nice relaxing round of golf with its classic and timeless design, and harkens back to a time when golf was the attraction and not palatial clubhouses. You feel right at home, from the first steps in.

A gentleman named, "Rick" greeted me immediately, upon entering the pro shop and provided excellent customer service from setting me up for a round to answering any questions I had about the course. Its always nice when the pro shop staff takes the time to make each guest feel welcomed and valued.

The golf carts were by far the BEST carts, I've used in several years (Clean, quiet and obviously well maintained).

The course itself was playable and in good shape (Considering the time of year), and offered some challenging shot placements.

The surrounding scenery completes the package with its gentle slopping and tree lined fairways.

If you're in the area, a round of golf at The Etowah Valley Golf Club is an experience worth the time.

Good People .. Good Golf ... Great memories !

2 out of 3

We started on the North side which was not so great on the fairways and bunkers etc. The South and West sides a different story. Very present and enjoyable course. Few hidden ponds and creeks that may surprise you first time.... Nice club house and the bar. We may go back soon.

Very Nice Relaxing Course

Having played several courses in and around Asheville, this was a pleasant fairly level course - not a "mountain hiking/climbing" adventure. Much more of what I am accustomed to and would consider a traditional course.
