Off-Season Golf

The territorial views here are very nice, particularly in the fall.
Course conditions are pretty iffy in the winter months, but it's convenient to where we live and reasonably priced.
We've never been paired with other golfers who weren't pleasant.
Note on "advanced" - not just my age, but lots of experience in many parts of the country and at some very nice golf courses.

Great day to be outside

Woke up with a canceled meeting and a favorable forecast so my afternoon plans were made. Didn't want to travel far from Asheville so Black Mountain was the perfect choice. Course conditions were typical for this time of year but signs of spring were starting to show. Everyone associated with the course was super nice and hospitable. Will be back!

Slow Play

This is the 3rd time I've played this course and stopped after the front 9 due to the slow pace of play. All three times it took 3+ hours to play nine holes. Starting times on all three was 12:30-13:00.

Club house not doing its job

On the back nine we waited every single shot..Six groups backup with 2 holes open in front of them..Called the clubhouse twice and no action-I guess a fire would have gotten them to quit bs ing or afire to simplify get them to do their job…Manager said we finished in four hours and we paid on golf now -“what should we expect”…Never seen such behavior out of this guy before-its one thing to get a job but something else to do it… Message seems to be play 4 hr round even if no one is on course..Never had such experience at Bk Mt-hopefully he was having a bad day or showing off for all th folks hang with him in clubhouse…Singular occurrence we hope to never see again even since we used golf now that he pointed out…Hopefully they don’t let another foursome out with 2 bags-and 2 golfers who had never played-hope all the folks were charged-makes you wonder what’s going on with taxpayer's money at course….

The Way Golf Should Be…

Pristine fall day, bright sunshine, autumn colors. My senior, single teetime merged with a twosome who invited me to join them. Let the conversations begin as we weaved our way through nine holes.
We shared golf tips, stories of past endeavors and plenty of laughs
as we tracked loose golf balls into tall grass borders. And of course we fully appreciated those soaring shots landing gently on the green just like we planned. The pro shop was happy to put me in touch with a decent stead of clubs, no charge, but call ahead. The staff easily retrieved my forgotten items, and returned them to me as I was heading off for a bite to eat at the green tee grille, where the great service continued. A great golf outing on a perfect day.
I’ll be back…
