I have played this course regularly since its opening 20+ years ago but rising fees have had me looking elsewhere of late. Sunday was our first round there in almost a year. I will give management credit for making improvements to go along with higher rates.

The greens were very good but that has always been a hallmark of this course. Tees and fairways in good shape. They actually had a starter and a ranger and a beverage cart in action. I have never seen that trio at work at the same time before. Practice tee was in good shape and they have all new range balls. New carts with GPS screens as well.

So, they have upped the pricing lately but they have also provided added value.

Usually enjoy playing Cumming Cove. Unfortunately the greens had just been aerated and it was a sea of sand once you got on the putting green.
That said, it was a beautiful day even with a two club wind and less than ideal putting conditions. In a couple of weeks things should be fine.
It is a challenging, scenic golf course. A good example of mountain golf.

A thoroughly enjoyable course with exceptional views on the marshland holes. Very challenging in high winds. The greens are outstanding. Start a putt on line and it will roll true.
Special thanks to General Manager Rick Mattox. I was playing as a single and when he determined that I was set to be behind four foursomes of a club association he took me to an open spot on the back nine to begin my round. I had clear sailing the entire day.
It was the kind of extra effort that communicates concern for the customer. It did not go unnoticed.

Cummings Cove was in excellent shape, fairways great and greens better than average. We have not played there is several months but the conditions were the best we've seen in years.
This is a strategic course that requires some thinking. Probably not ideal for a beginner or someone who likes to pound the driver off the tee. I didn't hit driver until the 9th hole and only five times on the day. There is a good bit of trouble on most holes and errant shots can be easily lost. It has some spectacular mountain views, particularly on the back nine.
A good value on a weekend afternoon and good conditions for the price.

A well maintained municipal course that is a lot of fun to play. Distinctly different nines with the front flat and open and the back hilly and tight.

Relatively flat with plenty of sand and water, this does not play like a typical mountain course. Greens and overall conditions are slightly above average. Enjoyable test but trouble to be found if you're not hitting it straight.
