Candid

Love this course, make the drive from Asheville several times a year. The issues are always the same, slow play and for whatever reason the course is not treated with respect by players, meaning they don’t fix their ball marks on the greens, such a shame. My typical round here is around 4:40 hours which turns it into a 7 hour day for me with travel, views are memorable always

Fabulous views, but got to know where to miss. Would love to play it again after seeing the course and the layout. 71 year old and played the gold tees. Wasn’t too long, but had to strike the ball well. Next time I would move up to the silver tees. A little less carry needed off the tee to reach the fairway. Would definitely play it again!!!

Great Mountain course

Played for the first time. Fun course. Ball placement is key. Best to put the driver in the bag on several holes and use the irons on the dog leg holes. Great views on back 9. Played in 3:50. Tee boxes and fairways immaculate. Only issue for me was all the ball marks on the green. Why can’t people repair their marks. Makes it more enjoyable for everyone.

Amazing Views

They had 2 inches of rain the previous night so it was cart path only. The views are amazing and the course set up is high handicapper friendly. There are a variety of tees for all handicaps. Elevation is a challenge on the back nine which makes it play at least 5-10 strokes more than the front nine. I want to go play it again right now.

Fix your divots on the green

Too many greens had too many divot marks. Super frustrating. Other than that. Loved the layout. Loved the course. Incredible views everywhere. Can’t wait to get back out there

A must play

Elevation. Elevation. Elevation. Very challenging greens. Superb conditions. Great staff. Minimal food and beverages. If you’re in the area or anywhere within 90min, put it in your list. You will it be disappointed. Next time I come back I’m playing it twice.

One of the Best

Love this course. Played it for the first time this past NOV and got to play it again a couple of weeks ago. Impressive views. Great golf. The greens were in great condition and relatively fast. Lots of undulations and slope (mountain course). I had just come back from a week in Monterey playing the heavy hitters and this course is just as majestic in it's views. Not many flat lies to be found but an extremely fun course. Brave shots executed well are rewarded but if not, you are most likely in trouble and looking at a double easy.

Love this course and can't wait to get back to play.

A must play gem

This is definitely the best course in North Carolina in my opinion. Perfect conditions, unbelievable layout. Beautiful views of the mountains all around with true dramatic elevation changes on most holes. I live 11 hours away in Florida, but I will be back up in fall to play it again!

Great Course, Terrible Pace of Play

This is the second time I traveled to play at this course, separated by several years. Both times we played, the round took over six hours to complete. Every group we saw both ahead of us and behind us waited extensively on every shot. For us, it was a 3-5 minute wait on every tee and fairway shot across the entire 18 holes. Several groups ahead of us and behind us abandoned their rounds because they had another activity they had scheduled following their round.

I love the layout and condition of the course, It is very fun and challenging, but playable for most golfers. Some forced carries for women, however, are extremely difficult, but worth taking a shot. But the brutal pace of play completely overwhelms all of the good qualities of the course.

The lack of sufficient restrooms and food service on the course is extremely problematic for women and elderly golfers, in particular.
