OVER PRICED

Have been playing this course for a long time and have never thought it should be more than 25 dollars. Come back home to play with my dad and rates have gone up to 58 dollars for non residents, even though we live in the county. Hole 17 is closed for maintenance but you’re still paying for 18 holes. Every hole should be closed for maintenance considering every fairway looks like my back yard. Greens were actually the best part about the course and were below average at best. It’s really sad the city of Asheville can’t pay to even keep the course in playable shape

Give me what I paid for

Paid for a single with a cart. Then was told I had to play with a random 3 and didn’t get my own cart. Then finally get a cart because the 3 were already playing. Didn’t even make it to the 2nd teebox and was asked to play with a random solo in front of me and made us share a cart.

Good beginner course

Course was in pretty rough shape but was priced accordingly. Should be much nicer near year when Asheville puts some more $$ into the course.

Terrible Conditions

Course is in horrible shape. Fairways are dirt with rocks in most places. Tee boxes are uneven especially on the back nine. Video I posted is of the 16th fairway.

Get what you pay for

This course is a great layout. The front 9 is in good condition— they’ve lost some holes on the back. For what you pay, it’s pretty good.
Really friendly staff (except for the starter). If you’re looking for a decent muni, this is it.

Hooray

Thank God, there is new management !! The course has steadily gone downhill for years, so almost anything will be an improvement. But, meanwhile, the rates published here are WAY too high for this course, until it gets better. Should never be more than $30, even on weekends.

Will not play again

I reserved and received confirmation for a 8:24: AM tee time. I got there a few minutes prior to 8:24. There were several people in front of me including another gentleman scheduled for 8:24. We later found out the 8:56 AM group was sent ahead of us and waiting to tee off. There was an obvious back log of players in the morning. For some reason, I was reprimanded for being late and was told my tee time was 8:16 AM. This was absolutely not the case as I had email confirmation.

The two of us in the 8:24 AM tee time were allowed to play the back 9 due to the back log of players, but the back 9 was in terrible shape. Golf cart paths were treacherous, and many of the fairways had dirt patches instead of grass.

Good course

I enjoy playing this golf course. It’s always priced low and there is normally a ton of tee times available. This course would be amazing if they got some of those hard dirt and rocky spots on the green on the back nine.

Get it together please!

Years ago this was a great course to play. Right now it’s not much better than cow pasture golf. The Tee boxes for the most part are okay but could use more grass. The fairways are poorly mowed on front 9 and on back 9 you do well to find any grass . The greens are in poor condition on the back 9 and that is being generous. All the sand traps front and back are mud traps either full of water or no sand at all. The prices are high for a poor course management. I would only play there as a last resort. I would also like to say not allowing you to walk the course in the morning on weekends is ridiculous since as bad as the fairways are you need to keep the carts off of them. But on the other hand the cart paths are in such disrepair it’s difficult to drive down them without jarring your teeth. So get a better budget hire a grounds crew that knows how to take care of a golf course not a cow pasture. And drop your price till you actually have a respectable course . I would say the only redeeming thing about your course is an excellent snack bar. It would be nice to have a local course to play on again. For now I will drive to Hendersonville or Black Mountain to play . Sorry for bad reviews but your course truely deserves it right now. Please return it to the beautiful course I remember..

This course sucks

The service was terrible. I was not aware of the price when booking. They overcharged me from what was in the website and getting a refund is a pain. I will never go to this golf course again and I recommend you don’t either.
