Decent layout but frustrating to play
Offering 27 holes and a decent layout, I had high expectations based on the price of green fees here. Unfortunately, those expectations were not met. While it is still early in the season, the course is not in the best condition. Patchy fairways and dead grass are understandable based on the time of year, but the bunkers were devoid of the sand necessary to play a shot effectively. What made our round unforgivable however were the greens. Firstly, the pin locations were more than questionable. I enjoy a well-placed difficult pin, but these were cut on ridges nearly on the fringe, leaving no place to play the ball for a chance at making a putt. Combine this with FIRM, trampoline-like greens that skipped like concrete rather than being receptive to any spin, and it was honestly a scoring nightmare.
Awesome experience
Was headed to Asheville for a weekend trip with some friends and figured why not go a day early and play some golf on the way. Found this course and said let’s try it out. Couldn’t have been more pleased with how everything went. Course is great, didn’t have to wait much, the staff was great, the amenities are nice. Go out, play some music, and enjoy it!
3 distinctly different 9 hole layouts
This is my home course. I go between booking a hot time and walking on at regular price. Staff is always great, but they know me. They are upfront and run a good course. There are 3 nines, North, South and West. The South course is located closest to the clubhouse and features flat terrain with decent sized greens. Wide fairways give plenty of room for drawing or fading without penalizing. The South is the flattest and straightest of the 3 nine's. Holes 4 and 8 make you think about your tee shot, everything else is grip and rip. #6 is narrow, but the fairway is plenty wide enough. The West course is the closest to the driving range. #1--the hardest on the West imo--runs parallel to the driving range so a slice may be on the range. Hole 1 and 2 continue with the flat/straight pattern of the South course. After #2, every hole has some sort of elevation change. None too drastic, but there is some up and down to the course. The North is by far my favorite of the 9's. Featuring 3 par 5's, playing at 37 par, it is fun. #1 is a short uphill par 3 that is the easiest hole on this 9 imo. 2 requires you to play left off the tee, anything close to the cart path or the far right bunker brings trees into play on the second shot. #3 is a long uphill Par 5, #4, downhill and back up again on the most difficult hole of the 27 at Etowah Valley (imo). 5 and 6 are fun par 4's that play short and have a lot of elevation changes. 7 is a shorter par 5 that can most definitely be reached in 2. 8 is a downhill par 3, don't go right or your ball will plug. In the middle of a 6 month drought, it will plug! 9 is a strong finishing Par 5 with a pond running along the right side of the fairway. Overall, a great layout. My favorite by far.
Fun
Had a blast playing. Considering it being late fall most of the fairways and greens were in great condition. Layout of the 3 9 hole courses provide you challenges maneuvering around trees and dog leg bends. Staff was nice driving and putting areas were well kept
Where was everyone?
55, blue skies and sunny on a Sunday, late morning. Course was basically empty when we teed off at 11am.
Other than some spotty areas on some greens, Course is in good shape for this time of year.
Perfect Fall Day
Last minute decision to play with an out of town family member. Beautiful Fall Day!
Great Time!!
I’ve been here several times and each time it’s been great!
