Great course- some silly hole locations

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.

This course is a must play if you are in Asheville. The Donald Ross design with beautiful mountain views, elevation changes, well placed hazards and fair but somewhat tricky greens was a treat. The level of service with the staff was top notch, the golf carts were comfy with GPS, bathrooms on the course were clean and secure, and there was even full service food and bar at the turn. We would definitely play again.

False fronts

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.

Asheville omni

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.

Grove Park Inn

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 to play

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.

Don’t play here

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

The Greens are a challenge.

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.

Don't be fooled by the length.

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.

Ok course and friendly staff

Course was in good shape but is a lot shorter than I expected. Layout is good as you would expect from a Donald Ross design. Great views but lack of a range to warm up before the round is unfortunate. Greens were in good shape but a bit slow. I would be willing to play again but I feel it is overpriced at this time.
