Fairways and greens are in very good condition. Green fringes are very rough and cannot be putted from or over. Greens roll nicely but do not hold iron shots well. Layout has some interesting holes but overall is of average interest. Bunkers were not groomed and many had only one rake. Beautiful views from many spots on the course.

Excellent condition for a public course, very friendly staff

For late March in Western North Carolina, the fairways and greens were in excellent shape, greens very fast but putted true.

Not the most creative Ross layout, but this was a 1926 re-design by him of the original 1899 course. Plenty of challenges greenside, false fronts, undulations, etc. in which Ross no doubt had a hand.

Fairly tight fairways, some sloping, no need for lots of bunkers, etc. Mountain views to the west are fantastic!
