Played On 05/04/2023Nice course, poor staff
I've played this course dozens of times. It's a great course, challenging but fair. A lot of water, but a fun layout (except for the brutal hole 12 par 5). Course is always in good shape.
My issue is always the staff. We ended up getting paired with 2 guys who work there. They were fine at first, but then started complaining about our pace of play even though one of them was slower than both of us combined. He had a temper, was rude, talked during shots, messed in his bag while we were trying to tee off, walked through our lines, played out of turn (which is fine, just more bad etiquette on the day) and on... I'll be back, but I hope to never get paired with the staff again. 3 star course only because the staff were and have always been 0 stars.
Asheville Municipal Golf Course
Played On 03/24/2023Under Repair
I love this course. It’s a muni and you get what you get at a public course. But the course is being worked on (and it needs it) so I won’t be back until next spring or maybe late fall at the earliest. Many temporary tees, lots of ground under repair, WAAY too many people crammed onto the course so it was a 5:30 hr round.
Staff is always great. Layout is fun. But it’s not ready for people to be golfing on it while they’re working. Again, it needed the work so I’m glad they are, but stay away for a couple of months.

Played On 12/30/2022Fun layout, great staff, poor conditions
We played on a kind of rainy day, but the course was in pretty bad shape. Fairways were average but the greens were bad. Very slow, a LOT of sand on them even though they aerated 2 months ago. Impossible to make a putt with the un-true speeds and cut. The tee boxes also need some work… some you can’t get a tee in them at all.
The layout is a blast and very challenging but fair. We will go back in the spring and hope the greens are doing better.
It has to be said, some of the nicest golf course folks work there. The guy in the pro shop was great. The staff in the snack house were amazingly friendly! Great experience in that way.

Played On 12/12/2022Great, Challenging Course!
This course has water on 13 out of the 18 holes (as they reminded me in the pro shop)! So it is a challenge, but if you hit your shots, it's a fair course. What impressed me this time around was what a great shape the course was in, in December and after a ton of rain. The greens ran true (slower than usual but true), the fairways were perfect, the tee boxes are always excellent.
The course is a challenge, but there are holes to score on as well. If you are looking for a good course that is conveniently located, this is it.

Played On 10/21/2022Get 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.
Cummings Cove Golf & Country Club
Played On 08/14/2022Great Course!
Great course. Friendly staff and starter. Pace of play was slow, took more than 4:20 to play. Conditions were ideal — even with all the rain it was great and greens rolled very true. Only complaint is they are transitioning who runs the food/bar and that wells closed. Bummer to not be able to grab a drink during such a slow round.
Otherwise, great course!

Played On 07/22/2022Fun course, not enough funding yet for good conditions
The staff are very friendly, the layout is a lot of fun, the greens are a good challenge. Unfortunately, they haven’t had enough money to keep the conditions up. Some crappy fairways and burnt out green. But for a muni, it’s a good course
Broadmoor Golf Links
Played On 06/13/2022Good Course
This is a good course with plenty of challenges. There is water on 13 of 18 holes which challenges both your drives and second shot. The greens are spacious enough (and always roll true) that you can play it safe and still score. Good course for someone looking for a flatter course in the mountains.
Maggie Valley Resort & Country Club
Played On 06/11/2022Always Great
Doesn’t matter when you go out there, the course is always in excellent shape. The design is great, but the conditions are really what make it. Slick greens but fair and true. Great fairways, consistent rough. All you want in a course.
Asheville Municipal Golf Course
Played On 08/09/2021Nice folks, course in really bad shape
The staff are always friendly and helpful. The course itself is such a fun layout (the back 9 especially!) but it needs so care. The fairways were very bad on the back especially. The greens were the slowest I’ve ever seen. The pace on the front is always slow but speeds up on the back. Overall, rough conditions made it kind of a bummer to play.
Springdale Country Club
Played On 06/04/2021Nice course.
Long course, great layout, friendly staff. It’s always a little slow but the regulars let you play through eventually. I. Great shape. Fast greens which are fun but true. Good course and a fun challenge. Worth it.
South/North at Etowah Valley Country Club & Golf Lodge
Played On 05/20/2021Good course, always make me feel bad for using golf now
The course is a solid course with extra fun having 3 9's. The distance isn't what gets you, it's the layout. A lot of holes where you have to hit a couple of really good shots to have a look at par. Always in good shape.
The pro shop folks always make me feel crummy for using golf now, though. Anytime they see we booked through that, there is a role of the eyes and they always tell us to book directly through them next time.

Played On 11/20/2020Great Course
This is a fun course that’s challenging yet had opportunities to score. The flat front nine is narrow but feels accessible. The rolling back nine never has a flat shot, but the course is in great shape so you can still score.
Friendly staff, great amenities. A great course!!
Only complaint is that the members (who are ALWAYS friendly) play slowly and sometime the lace can lag. But even teeing off at 1:30 we finished before sunset.
A must try if you’re in the area. Excellent course!

Played On 09/03/2020Springfield Golf Club
Played On 05/31/2020Great course — even friendlier staff!
The course was fun to play from the blues. A good mix of long par 4s and easier par 3s. Not a ton of trouble except that some fairways are narrow and a few approach shots are over a natural area. A challenging layout but the course was in great condition ( even with almost 2 weeks of rain!). EXTREMELY friendly staff! We will be back!
Your feedback is important to us, Cole4303162. Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing Springfield Golf Club.
The Golf Club at Ballantyne
Played On 03/26/2020Great Public Course
This is the nicest public course in Charlotte. It’s pricier than other public courses, but the pace is always better, the course is far nicer and the experience is overall great.
Olde Sycamore Golf Plantation
Played On 08/17/2018Aerated greens, unfriendly staff
The website didn’t mention the greens had been aerated on Monday and when I asked the guy in the pro shop, he basically shrugged his shoulders at me. Kind of rude.
Otherwise, the course is great. Give it a couple of weeks and don’t expect anything nice from the pro shop.
The Rock Golf Club & Resort
Played On 05/26/2018Nice people and place, poor condition
The staff is incredibly friendly and the newly renovated dining area is great. The layout is fun but the fairways are poor. The tee boxes weren’t all kept and the greens were hard as rocks
Lake Spivey Golf Club
Played On 05/08/2016Decent Course
Good overall condition. Tee boxes were poor but the greens and fairways were good.
The course layout is challenging; meaning there are many holes where driver (even from the tips) is not the smart choice.
For your first time playing, difficult to know where to hit it.
We appreciate the feedback, Cole4303162! We look forward to seeing you out here again soon!
Logo/Rock Garden at Orchard Hills Golf Course
Played On 03/09/2016Not with it
I've played here at least 5 times now and every time the staff have been rude and short with me, especially since I've booked through Golf Now. The greens are wretched, even though they recently redid them.
While there are some bright spots (the beer is cheep), it's not worth being condescended to bu the front room staff.
We are sorry to hear of your bad experience with us as we pride ourselves on customer service. If you would like to discuss things further, please email us at proshop@orchardhills.com. We hope to see you back out on the course again real soon!
I'm not sure what happened to you on this day. By the time I had played 5 times they were calling me by name. How did you treat the staff? Sometimes the customer isn't always right. Give the place another try, It's worth the money all day long..
If you were wearing the proper attire I agree with you however I've never been treated like this at Orchard, the front desk people are very nice. In experience at this golf course there is a lot of denim out on the golf course. Naturally the course is a business so they aren't going to turn you away if you're a paying customer however if you're wearing denim you're cheapening their golf course and hence the front desk has a problem with you in jeans.
Hi, Cole4303162! Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back at Asheville Municipal Golf Course!
