We don't live in Asheville but visit a couple of times a year for past 8 years. We have always played this course and enjoyed it immensely until yesterday. We waited on every hole to tee off and many times to get on the green. The course itself was in bad shape. Most of the tee boxes for the red tees were sand with some grass. Even the fairways grass was sparse in many places and hitting off sand/dirt. I expect that when I hit outside the fairways, but not when I hit it straight! We gave up on the 14th hole and left early after playing for 3.5 hrs. We figured early afternoon would be a good time, but we were wrong. We'll be trying a different course on our next visit to Asheville. I was happy I booked a cheaper round on golf now instead of paying full price.

I expect to wait a little more on a weekend day, but for a Monday morning to be waiting on every hole was a bit ridiculous. There were signs everywhere saying it should take 4.5 hours to play the course. Well, we left at that point with 3 holes to go. The staff was nice. The course was a fun one. Just wish they had spaced out the players better or had a Marshall to speed things up. It wasn't their fault it was a heat index into the mid 90's, but it made the back nine in combination with the slow pace more than I wanted to play.
