The course was decent and would play there again. However, the GPS on both carts were off by about 20-30 yards. Also, some spots on the cart paths needed to be repaired.

Overall, it was a fun and challenging course.

Great course

A lot of our courses in this area were damaged by hurricane Helene. Chestnut Mountain has done a fantastic job of restoring it and making one of the better places around to golf and enjoy golf. Challenging and he had very fair and fun.

Greening up!

Play here at least 6 times per year. Fairways are greening up. Like the course alot. Negatives. Greens were insanely slow, I know we have had a bunch of rain, but really need a cut and roll. All 4 of us were leaving putts short all day, even on downhill runs. Tee box at 11, please mow it!!! It is as thick as the rough, and is that way alot. Other tee boxes need work, very uneven, patchy, hard to find a even stance. Let the rough right side of 16 fairway grow, one should not end up on the other side of the cart path when driver is straight as an arrow down the middle. 2nd time this year it has happened to more than one in the group. See ya again soon!

Hilly. Quirky. Fun!

Located in a gated community, this is a hilly and quirky course that is actually pretty fun to play. As first-timers, we had to learn as we went along, and there are a few holes we would play differently the next time. The staff was very friendly, even walking out to give us the "lay of the land", which was basically a course that winds up-and-down through a hilly area near Asheville. It would be a strenuous walk, so we were happy to have taken a cart. The holes tend to be fairly narrow, but because of trees, not houses. There was a good mix of par3s, par4s and par5s. Length was pretty reasonable, and some blind shots come into play. The conditions were early-season, but should improve nicely through the spring and into summer. We will play here again.

Disabled players beware!!!

Greens were great, but fairways and tee boxes need some work. They failed to honor our disabled status(breathing issues) and didn't disable the carts GPS which required a LOT of up and down walking. Bar made a decent bloody mary.

What a great time!

Other than slicing a few drives....it was a great round. I appreciate the scenery and the creativity needed to do well.

Hilly

Disappointed I did not know of this course last year - a friend recommened it to me - finally weather was good for golf - despite frost in the Ground and bunkers the course was I pretty good shape considering the time of year.
Was lucky to play with a local guy who could guide otherwise I would have been in more problems than I got. Will definitely be back again.

Excellent value

Great course, beautiful scenery. Though the 13th hole was a bit quirky, the rest of the course made up for the experience. Would definitely play again.

Still tough.

Great course. Typically very well kept although a couple of tee boxes weren’t trimmed down like they should’ve been. But very challenging. If you’re looking to get yourself a challenge on the course this course definitely offers it. Very hilly and mountainous and a lot of undulation with approach shots and greens. I can typically stay in the low to mid 80s, but this course I am typically in the low to mid 90s every time easily.

Surprise December Golf in Asheville

Was not expecting to play golf during this trip but we saw a window. It was 38° and fog/drizzle the entire round. We weren't the only fools on the course, so that was a pleasant surprise. For this time of year, the course was great. Greens were understandably shaggy but definitely manicured. Guys in the clubhouse treated us as if we were everyday members. Will definitely come back.

Nice Course

This is a nice little course and will definitely play there again. The 3 star rating is due to the greens being a little “fuzzy” due to the rain and cold weather ( I’m guessing ) during the week and day I played there. I can’t wait to go,back in warmer weather to truly see the course at its finest.

Elderly lady inside the pro shop was extremely rude the second we walked in the door. She seemed very agitated that we were at her golf course to play golf. It’s a last resort these days.
