Omni Grove Park Inn

I really enjoyed this course. The layout is routed beautifully off the mountainside making great use of the elevations and property features. There is a good variety of long and short holes. The greens are great, with nice slopes, ridges, false fronts, and are tied into the surroundings. Most have a opening to run shots up but are protected through slopes or bunkers on one side or the other. Some nice dogleg holes are used and some pretty views of the mountains play into the experience. Although trees are located throughout, you never feel confined off the tee and you have plenty of room. A top-notch experience.

Very good course inaa very good condition. Soft greens and a few tricky

You can’t go wrong with Donald Ross, but the lack of a range, slow greens (pm), inconsistent bunkers, and a high price means the value is less than it should be.
My two beefs are as follows. Some of the bunkers (including greenside) are Georgia clay. My sand wedge bounced on one hole and the second greenside made me did dig deep to clear a high lip. This course should have only ONE sand type. No excuses.
Next…and this has much to do with inconsiderate players, when you leave a ball mark on the green, fix the mark! I fixed 2 or 3 per hole in addition to my own.
At this green fee, the course should give out ball repair tools (probably 5 cents each) and encourage and remind players to repair the marks.
Pro shop said greens were 13 on the stimp. In the afternoon it’s more like 8. Donald Ross greens are designed to be fast but these were slow.
The layout is great. The course is fun with some memorable holes. And it’s quite beautiful.
Last comment…I paid $1300 to stay 2 hours nights. The guy I played with stayed elsewhere and was charged $5 less to play than me.
Treat your customers better than that Omni.

The course itself and staff were great. It was in great condition. My only complaint is that many of the pins were borderline illegal and a couple were for sure. There was a pin to where a putt up the hill, if it wouldn’t go in the hole would end up 10-15 feet back down the hill at your feet. That’s pretty silly. We decided that hole should be a 2 putt max. And that shouldn’t be the case when you’re paying $200 a round. Most others were just very challenging, but that one was down right unfair. Overall I would be back, but would be weary of the pin locations.

Great course, excellent conditions. Staff very friendly. Amenities very good.

Front nine zipped along until back nine behind walkers and it took forever on a hot day. The back nine has more repetition of up and down hills and it’s hard to detect the false fronts without local knowledge so a pin high shot can roll 30 yards off the green. Condition was great and scenic. Get a hot deal it’s not that crowded as it would seem and they are understaffed. Warning there are a lot of deceptive lines off the tees due to blind landing areas tough when you lack local knowledge.

Great course, great carts, groomed amazing, spectacular views, only thing is cart girl does not have hard liquor only beer n seltzers. Only thing they can improve is cart beverage service besides that. Top Teir course, w crazy elevation changes, greens roll from back to the front heavily.

The course is gorgeous and the layout is great. My only gripe were the inconsistency of the greens. Besides being slow, they were not the same speed throughout the course. This was incredibly frustrating for a course that charges $200 a round. The sand was inconsistent as well, some clay based some actual sand, but that is my fault for hitting it into the bumkers.

Beautiful course on a beautiful property. Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. Head to the Omni hotel bar and restaurants after for gorgeous views, shopping, and cocktails. It’s worth the price.

Title pretty much says it all. It's an ok course, but not even remotely close to being worth what they're charging. It's worth an $80 greens fee, max. It's a shame, because Asheville could really use a somewhat affordable public course close to town other than the muni.

Layout- unremarkable, couple of blind tee shots. Not a very fun layout.
Course conditions- bent grass throughout, greens were different speeds. Seemed grainy.
Staff friendliness- poor. Saw a guy get kicked out and it was handled poorly. They acted pretentiously about this course and with a $167 dollar rate you would have expected more. Couldn’t bring cart to the car to drop off or pick up clubs and couldn’t drive car to the bag drop to pick up or drop off clubs. Not first class.
Off course amenities- No driving range at this course. They have three nets to warm up at. No chipping area. Pro shop looked picked over.

Overall- wouldn’t play here again and wouldn’t recommend this course to any golfer. Don’t see why you would want to play this course other than for the name. Would rather play a local muni

A must play course to challenge your fairway and putting play. The greens are crazy. You think the ball will roll to the right, select a point and put. The ball goes to the left. Just mind boggling. Well cared for course. Worth every penny. Electric golf carts are a plus.

The course plays much longer than the card says. The elevation changes will test every part of your game.The views were spectacular. This was great layout and I look forward to playing here again.
