Springdale Country Club

Springdale Country Club is a really nice course in the mountains near Canton North Carolina. It was a beautiful spring dany in May when I played there. The course overall was in excellent shape but there were a few “ ground under repair” spots mostly on the back nine. As with most mountain courses, a couple of the par 5’s were uphill and unless you are a long driver u won’t make par on these. A couple of the par 3’s were really tight and would be better for the average golfer if they would cut s few tree limbs! The course was not crowded but I got behind a duo that was playing slow but I would just stop and enjoy the scenery while I waited. I was solo so I guess I could have played through but it didn’t matter this day. I would like to play there again sometime. I was also able to scope out some really good fly fishing spots on the drive to and from the course.

Fun and challenging course

Well worth the drive into the mountains just south of Asheville near the Smokey Mountains.

Spectacular views and vistas from this unique course. Well groomed, new grass planted here and there. Greens were nice. New cart paths in some areas. All in all it felt like a golf Experience more than just another course to play. Great value. I will be coming back for there stay and play offerings as well

Mixed feelings

Lets get the bad done with. The proshop staff completely miss the point about customer service. Not friendly to golfnow players at all!!

That being said... very nice golf mountain golf course with spectacular views!! Golf course a bit rough in some parts but you can tell they are working on it to improve. Local golfers were super friendly!!

5-somes allowed!

Since the club allows 5-somes (as I was told in the pro-shop at the turn) there were about five 2-somes stacked up before me as a single.

It sure makes for slow play - won't expose myself to that risk again!

Springdale

Course was in pretty good shape considering they had recently areated the greens. Some areas were a little rough but we've had excessive rain this year. Was in good shape other than this

Course

I have played this course before and now it was in bad shape. Understanding they are revamping the course but should let people now before booking. Tee boxes in farway, mudding holes, cart paths need extreme repair. Very disappointed

Work in progress

Played the soon to be Front 9 and the layout was nice. The only knock would be all the new sod that is getting put in but that can't be helped. Once the new sod grows in and the greens have recovered from iteration then this course should play pretty nicely. Staff was outstanding and will definitely play it again when I'm in the area.

Diamond still rough, but shows progress

Springdale CC is beautiful tract of land & the new family owners have projects ongoing ll over he course. Greens were just top dressed, but were smooth & are large!. Fairways are greening nicely & all the traps have fine, soft, white sand in very ood shape. ( many needed raking).Work is ongoing on new cart paths and new sod around traps & some walkways. Work ontinues oncthe restaurant, sched.to open late April. (probably not). I will be back, as this gem will get better and better.

Best kept secret in the county

Love this golf course even though it beats me like a drum every time I've played it. Have been playing here long enough to have gone from the Blues, to the whites and now the senior tees. 25 years has taken its toll on this old duffer, but I'm determined to get back into the 80s again. Great staff and the new owners are obviously dedicated to making this course what it used to be and even better.

Highly recommend for the challenge and the scenery.

Diamond in the rough

The new owners are very friendly and approachable. Plans are improvements are already underway. That being said, the course is beautiful and challenging. For late November the fairways were in good shape and the greens were very consistant.

Fun, and challenging

Visiting in town, had played a couple of other local courses and decided to try this one on our last day in town. Very glad we did. Even though it was chilly, it warmed up nicely after a few holes. The back nine was cart path only so that kinda sucked but we loved this course for the views, layout, challenges and overall enjoyment of playing a hilly course. Staff was friendly and we may not have had great scores but we had a fun day of golf.
