Tried Chestnut Mountain (aka High Vista)

First 5 or 6 holes are in brutally bad condition. After that, the course improves significantly. Cart paths need total replacement.
Routing is pretty nice at times.
To be a decent course, they probably need to spend a couple million $. Until then, it’s a last resort with some nice views.

Amazing

First time playing this course and it blew my expectations out of the water. Incredible views galore and the fairways and greens were pristine. Fair warning - this course is pretty difficult. Some fairways are very tight and there can be water and tree trouble. If you are playing well it could be one of the best golf experiences of your life. If you are not, shooting at/over 100 is very easy. All-in-all, this course is amazing and I will definitely be coming back.

Nice mountain course

Cool mountain course with awesome views. Very friendly staff. Bunch of hackers in front of us made pace of play slow. Small tricky greens.

High Vista has beautiful vistas

What a pleasant surprise. Although it was hot, the generous shade and cool mountain breeze helped keep things bearable. There are some great views across the valley which made coming out of the tea box a surprise.

Great progress

First time playing and several regulars told us how the course was before. I love the layout. It’s difficult but fun. Will be back. Considering a membership.

Good conditions

From the past reviews, this golf course seems to be making a comeback. I understand it was closed for some time and you can tell that a lot of improvements have been made. . Greens were in great shape. Great challenge of playing a number of narrow fairways and greens on many of the front nine holes. Some fairways and tees need some work but do not let that stop you from playing chestnut mountain. This is a must play in the Asheville area.

Perfect Mountain Golf

1st Time playing Chestnut Mountain.
Course is laid out very well. Very hilly, but to be expected when playing in the mountains.
Course is being revamped and there is still some work to be done.
Course needs some sort of layout guide, as some holes were quite a distance apart.

Hilly with great views!

Cool, private course that public can book online. Note it is in a gated community to make sure to call Pro Shop for gate code.
Course is challenging with lots of elevation change and many blind spots. Requires some thought off the tee to place shot in fairway rather than blast away. Greens were a little fuzzy and slow.
Overall a good challenge
