Springdale at Cold Mountain

Greens and fringes not in best condition; cart path's need replacing

First time playing here. Stopped by for 18 holes while traveling for business. Michael at the front desk (and the rest of the staff) were very friendly and a pleasure to speak with. The course was in good condition and pretty views with the elevation changes. Will definitely go back if/when I am in town.

New owner is making consequential choices for the better. Picturesque, challenging, good condition, great value!

Fairways and greens are in very good condition. Green fringes are very rough and cannot be putted from or over. Greens roll nicely but do not hold iron shots well. Layout has some interesting holes but overall is of average interest. Bunkers were not groomed and many had only one rake. Beautiful views from many spots on the course.

Have been playing there 3-4 years during the warmer months. Have done a great job with the new clubhouse and recovering from the floods in Aug 2021. Favorite course in western NC.

I’m not sure why they call themselves a “resort”. They let a group of 10 fraternity boys tee off together in front of us. Slow play. Fast greens, but the apron is in terrible shape. The whole fraternity stopped for snacks at the turn so we passed them. They’ve put money into a new clubhouse, but the course is probably worth about $48/round. Not worth $80, especially since you have to go by the smelly paper mill in nearby Canton. Peaceful mountain setting, but I live in the area and there are certainly better mountain courses for the money. The “spasm” is just another par 4.

Diverse layout of course. Great condition and challenging. Some Long par 4s.

Springdale CC is in great shape, except for the fringes of the green. They had just been top dressed and made it difficult to chip or put out of but they should be fine in a week. Test of the course was in very good shape. Plenty of tees to choose from. The views are wonderful so you can enjoy the day even if your game is not so good. It’s about 40 minutes from Weaverville but an easy trip.

An absolute beautiful mountain course. Loved every bit of it!

Course is in great shape. Staff very friendly and helpful. Certainly worth the trip for a great golf experience. I’ll be coming back.

I made a point of learning the greens keepers name as I really wanted to meet him and thank him in person for doing an outstanding job taking care of this mountain gem. It has not gone unnoticed his density of thought and attention to detail to restoring and maintaining this jewel.

Thank you sir and your crew as I look forward to one day saying that in person.

Can’t think of any where in North Carolina I would rather play

Amazing people and staff. Great layout. Great value. Can’t wait to play again.

Course was in very good condition and greens were ok fast. Pace of play was great. Rarely ever had to wait. Staff was great and friendly helping me to navigate my way around at a course I'd never been to before. Great scenic views on many holes. Tooks lots of pictures. Had perfect weather. Was a great day.
