Asheville Municipal Golf Course

Sad to see this once beautiful course in such bad shape.

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.

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..

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.

The course is in really bad shape. Many bare spots in the fairways and on the greens. The cart paths are in really bad shape. We booked a 12:00 tee time and had 6 groups waiting on the tee box at 12:00. We were told to play the back nine first. The pace of play and course was so bad we quit after 9 holes. Not worth the time or money.

Course conditions were abysmal! The amount of not only bare spots on fairways but also on greens was inexcusable. The front nine was decent, but all greens had either bare spots or weeds growing on the surface. Hopefully ownership will change and renovations will help course conditions. Other than that, the weather was nice.

This course needs help! Fortunately, it appears to be on the way with a new management company and a promised investment influx on the horizon. The course has a fun layout, but the golf carts are ancient and battered, and the cartpaths are more suited to 4-wheeling or technical mountain biking. Where they exist, the fairways are acceptable; and most of the greens are reasonable albeit a bit slow. At GolfNow HotDeal rates, playing this course beats several hours at a driving range…which, by the way, they don’t have.

If it’s the only place you can afford, which is often the case with myself, fine. If you have the money to play at ANY other course in the Asheville area, I would recommend going with that option. Every time I try to play this course it’s at least a 15 minute wait after every shot. There are zero pace of play regulations, with groups of unlimited size and unlimited handicaps allowed to tee off together. I played behind a group of 11 one time here. I’ve never left feeling anything but frustrated and I’m hoping this review can save you the same feeling.

Very slow and over crowded. Crabgrass on the greens. No sand in bunkers.

Really really terrible shape. Trees laying around everywhere. There were potholes literally every 5 feet on the cart path. Greens in horrible condition, tree box’s where like hitting out of the rough. I’ve lived in Asheville for a while and played this course many times. This is the worst I’ve seen it. The golf carts were even in bad shape no front window no cover to go over the clubs of rain where to come. Also the corner of the seat on the driver side was completely torn out. Terrible terrible terrible. I won’t be spending anymore of my money on that course.

Slowest course ever and horrid condition on the back nine.

Greens and tee boxes in terrible condition. Greens had tons of old, un-repaired ball marks making smooth putting a joke. Greens were recently mowed when wet and clumps of grass were everywhere which shows worker apathy. Fairways bald in so many spots we grew tired of looking for relief from the clay. Cart paths are in need of help and some spots dangerous. One of our carts almost tipped over. No attempts to pair golfers on a busy day slowing down play. Fortunately the word is that the city is going to invest in improving conditions soon.

I think the course, as is, isn't worth $1 per hole. From fairways that don't have grass in them to cart paths that look like an earthquake struck, to greens that don't get repaired, this course is terrible. If Donald Ross were still alive this course would make him quit golf design. Put your money elsewhere.
