I made an account on this site specifically to give this place a good review

Where do I start? Staff are super friendly and do a great job going out of there way to give you the best experience possible. Views are stunning, the air is fresh, and the course is kept in fantastic condition. The greens are smooth and quick, the fairways roll nicely without any mud spots or overgrown patches of grass which could otherwise ruin a perfect drive off the tee, and overall it is just an enjoyable layout. I am a high handicap player and I didn't even mind that it was challenging because as an overall experience it was just so enjoyable.

On top of all this, the course is reasonably priced. Compared to a lot of the alternatives in WNC that are in similarly good condition, this one is cheaper than the grove park and it doesn't require a membership like a lot of the premium courses in the area. It's definitely worth the 40 minute drive from Asheville.

Great staff

I was an hour late because the highway to the course was shut down. When I arrived I was warmly greeted and thanked for coming. They gave me options for which tee to start at so I could get all 18 finished. When I came in after, I was again thanked. I just wish my putting was as good as the staff was.

Worth the drive from Asheville

Fine, challenging layout with beautiful views. Fairways and especially greens in very good condition. Really enjoyed it. Range was nice. Didn’t explore off course amenities and really have no opinion on that.

Beautiful mountain golf course

Beautiful day, course was in excellent shape. You need to play it to understand its nuances. But Scenery and the beautiful golf course makes you want to play it again and again. I would recommend this to anyone. Course is a little long fir women, but my wife still loves it.

Canton NC

The course is beautiful- course is in excellent condition under new management- the leaves were at their peak -just beautiful. The grill is closed as they are building a brand new one- so eat before you go or pack your lunch!. Enjoy!!!

Enjoyable course

The course was in great condition overall with a peaceful mountain atmosphere. The only knock being that the greens and surrounding area were pretty firm leaving it difficult to stick something close to the pin. Pace of play was average for a round with no jams throughout the day. Staff were very friendly and made it easy to get out on the course with no hold ups. Would play again!

Very pleasantly surprised

This was my first time playing this course and it was a great surprise. Greens are in excellent condition and running at a very good pace. Fairways were nice - no brown spots. Nice challenging course with good length. I played the white tees at a little over 6,400 yards.

Highly recommend trying this course out.

Nice Day

Played as a single mid morning on a Wednesday. Pretty open after 2 groups let me play thu.

My only complaint is that the t boxes should be level. There is enough slope all around the course to contend with. At least give us a decent tee off.

Can't wait for halfway snacks.

The attendant in the parking lot is a wnderful help.

Great mountain course

First nine fairways were wet and hadn’t been mowed due to a lot of rain. Beautiful scenery. Challenging course for distance and topography. Great day of golf!

Nice mountain course

Played for the first time, was a nice course. Greens were in good shape, staff was very friendly, and good pace of play. Only criticism is that some of the fairways and fringes were a little thin in places. But we will definitely go back.

Cart Path Only

Lots of rain the day before so cart path only. Very nice people to greet you. As a 25 handicap this was a great course. The front nine were very forgiving and the back are challenging. I think the course is good for all levels of golf. I definitely recommend playing here. Scenery is wonderful.

great mountain course

It was cart path only and unfortunately, the course plays to the left yet all the paths are on the right side of the fairways. Lots of walking back and forth.

Overall, fantastic mountain course. The views are epic and the elevation makes cooking the ball fairly easy. Not a whole lot of shaping shots. Pretty straight throughout.

Greens are faster than they seem!!
