Springdale at Cold Mountain

In Ashville for a family event. Found this course and made reservation through GolfNow. and my brother-in-law and I snuck off early. Took us 40 minutes to get there and it was well worth the drive. Every one of the staff was super friendly. The course was in great shape. I'm afraid the only way I could ever par Spasm is with a great up and down, but the rest of the holes seemed manageable. ... and for my bro, no ditch too deep.

All stars for this golf course. Great conditions, nice and friendly people at the club house and restaurant. The cours in great conditions with glorious views. Mostly open fairways and smooth greens. Classy resort!

Thanks

First time playing this course since recovery from their flooding and opening of new clubhouse complex. Amazing transformation from outdated country club vibe to amazing resort facility with 5-star golf course.

Course excellent shape,staff did great job ,great experience

This course is in pretty good shape overall!

As a mountain course usually does, this place has its quirks. From the blue tees, I thought there were a few holes that need some trees taken out or at minimum cut back.

I thought greens were pretty good but very grainy. Once the dew was gone down grain putts were pretty slick!

The rough was thick and cut to where it wasn’t terribly hard to find stray shots or overly penalizing.

The bunkers were well kept and consistent.

The collars were not in good shape. For as good of condition as most of the course is, they really looked out of place. I believe one of the members said they were zoysia but I’ve never seen zoysia that looked like that. They were very patchy and grainy as well and were borderline unplayable. It definitely made short sided chips more difficult.

The highlight of this place was the staff and members. Everyone I ran into was super friendly and welcoming! The tavern had great food and the atmosphere there was incredible! They have stay and play options that I plan to check out in the future!

Love this course. It is in great condition and worth the money.

I live in Sapphire NC and the only 18-hole course near me is in shamefully poor condition. And they charge $90 bucks to play. I took an 80-minute drive to Springdale and saw how a well-managed club presents a golf course to be proud of.

I arrived about 45 minutes early for my 8:30 tee time. The assistant pro and golf director greeted me warmly and allowed me to take off early as a single. Halfway down the first hole, I noticed the GPS system was not operating. There was a man watering the first green who came to my aid. Turns out he was the greens superintendent. He not only fixed my GPS, he spent several minutes describing the course and providing those caveats that golfers new to a course really appreciate.

The course itself was in fabulous condition: tees, fairways, greens - all impeccably kept. The layout was challenging enough without a lot of those ridiculous holes you sometimes find on mountain course (well, maybe the Springdale Spasm, hole #13, is an exception.) Plenty of landing room on most drives.

The golf shop and clubhouse look brand new and blend in nicely with the surroundings. The whole place exudes a fine private club feel.

All-in-all a great way to spend a June morning; I am already planning a few more of those beautiful 8--minute mountain drives to Springdale. Kudos to all involved in that operation.

Came to Asheville with some golf buddies and were extremely impressed with all aspects of the course. We will definitely be back.

This course is worth every penny! The staff went above and beyond with everything. The scenery was phenomenal.

As a long time player and fan of Springdale, I have to say thank you, thank you, thank you! The course is in the BEST condition I've ever seen from tee to green! The superintendent has done a phenomenal job of restoring and honoring the legacy of Springdale. It's playable and challenging to players of all skill levels, and lucky hole #13 (The Spasm) is much more enjoyable to play after some much needed tree trimming. The staff is courteous, friendly, and show their appreciation of your patronage. All courses would do well to follow their example.

I highly recommend you skip the outrageous $52-$59 fees to play the ridiculous goat-track muni course in Asheville and get a Hot Deal on Golf Now to play Springdale, it's well worth the 40-45 minute drive.

And just a side note to the staff: my condolences on the loss of Cab, one of the finest men I've ever met. He exemplified how to serve and be an ambassador for you and Springdale. May he rest in peace...

Course was lush. All the tee boxes and fairways were in great condition. Greens was very firm and mowed very close so were fast. Mike in the golf shop, range marshal and cart attendants so friendly and helpful. Front 9 holes are in the valley whereas the back 9 have quite changes in elevation.
