Very nice course
Played very early in the season(March). I would assume it will be absolutely beautiful when everything is in full bloom. May be a bit short for some ling hitters but still fun to play. Staff was great.
Would definitely play again if in the area.
Challenging Donald Ross Course
Greens were in great condition, fairways and 1st cut above avg. Definitely would play there again and highly recommend. The only negative was the lack of amenities. No drink or snack bar available..(surprised for a 5 star hotel course) . Staff was very nice and helpful
Always a pleasure
I am a five handicap golfer,and I appreciate a course that is as beautiful and well-maintained as this one. Staff is super friendly. I couldn't ask for more. Can't wait to come back.
Great winter golf
The course itself is a classic Donald Ross design. While it is "short," it plays long enough in the winter as you have no rollout on your drives. The overall course for mid-February was great, and I am looking to come back in a few weeks and play again once the course comes alive.
The staff is wonderful and the pace of play was well under 4 hours, and the course was not empty nor crowded.
A great value for a truly historical course and setting.
Break in the weather
Our 11 am tee time was pushed back an hour due to heavy frost, but with a noon start it had already warmed into the 50's. Course was in good condition considering the 2 major snowfalls we've had in the last few weeks. Greens were a little bumpy in spots but other than that rolled true. Typical Donald Ross design with few bunkers fronting the greens and tricky greens to read with lots of undulations. Always look forward to playing here and enjoying the layout and mountain scenery, and today was no exception.
A classic course the is fun to play
My wife and I live in Asheville and recently played this course. We had balked at the $100 plus green fees, but when we were able to obtain a lower greens fee we jumped on it. I really like playing a Donald Ross course. The holes are always interesting and the greens can be diabolical depending on pin placement. Because it was in the 30's and 40's the course was pretty empty so we never felt rushed. There were some very nice views as well. The gentleman in the Pro Shop was just that-a Gentleman. He treated us as welcome guests even though were weren't staying at the Inn and paid a discounted greens fee. My wife and I will definitely play this course as often as possible.
Great Every Time
Let me say from the start that I love the golf course. Takes me back to a time this was the Asheville C.C. And Nicklaus and Palmer played exhibition match there just great memories. The day we went there was still a little snow on the ground but all and all the he course was in good shape. Not very crowded. We played in less than 4hr so was great.
Very good and playable course
My wife and I live in Asheville and have seen the course many times. I hesitated in playing the course in the summer because the greens fees were $100-150. We made a tee time even though we still been pretty cold. The benefits of playing in the winter included there being few other players. Pace of play was very relaxed. The course was in very good condition, the exception being some greens had a bunch of pitchmarks because some players are too lazy to repair the pitchmarks. The course appears to offer wide open fairways, but trees and the streams running through the course come into play especially if you don’t have a course guidebook. As in all Donald Ross courses, the greens are basically upturned bowls and a missed shot will run off the green. Because it’s winter, the speed of the greens were slower than normal. The fairways were mowed tight with minimum rough. This is probably to keep the golfers on pace. The gentleman in the Pro shop was great, answering all questions and making sure we changed carts at the turn so we wouldn’t get a low battery. We had a great time and would recommend the course to family and friends.
Great winter golf !
Grove Park has a very friendly and courteous staff..fun course layout..great greens..well maintained fairways and bunkers..Looking forward to returning.
Loved this course!
This was our first time playing this course. Loved it! Beautiful, the wildlife was unbelievable!
Please fix your ballmarks!
Played as a single on 12/28 and paired with another single and a couple from out of town. The greens were typical Donald Ross, don’t get above the hole and super fast with deceptive breaks. Sadly, many greens were bumpy due to people not fixing their ball marks and I had several putts knocked off line.
Fairways were okay for the time of year, and the rough was manageable. I happened to find 4 bunkers during my round, and they had not been raked. I’m a pretty good bunker player but it’s hard to get up and down out of a footprint.
Glad that I was able to play on a hot deal but it wasn’t that great because of the conditions. I suggest playing Broadmoor instead.
One of my favorite courses
Grove Park is one of my favorite courses in WNC. Challenging Donald Ross layout, great course conditions and friendly staff. I’m usually a single golfer but always manage to join up with other golfers. I’d play it 2-3 times a week if I could! Never disappointed.
When on hot deal worth playing otherwise it’s nowhere close to being worth the cost. Pace of play is hit or miss I’ve played in 2.5 and waited every shot in misery
Great Course!
Beautiful views with a private club feel. Super classy! Could have been in better condition but greens were fine.
Great D. Ross Track
loved the places, fairly complex but fair.
Bobby Jones used to play here.
