Reems Creek Golf club is a gem in the mountains of NC! The course is in the best shape I have seen it in the last 5 years. Fairways are beautiful. Rough… well, is rough. Greens are rolling well. They have replaced some bunkers with waste areas. And sodded over others. Many tee boxes have been replaced and most of the damage from Helene has also been addressed. Highly recommend this course.

We brought 40 guys out to Reems Creek as part of our Don & Mike Golf Tournament, and Ally and her team absolutely crushed it. It thunderstormed all night before our round, and we honestly thought there was no way we’d be able to play. But by the time we got there, the course was ready and in amazing condition. Huge credit to the crew for getting it playable that fast—unreal. Ally was awesome. Super helpful, on top of everything, and made sure our group got out smoothly and on time. Getting 40 guys organized is no easy job, but she handled it like a pro. Reems Creek ended up being a major highlight of the trip and we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend.

Wonderful course! If you want a great value mountain golf experience, this is the place. Survived Hurricane Helene in surprisingly good condition, compared to the other local course. Greens are smooth and regular, fairways are well filled in, and the rough gives you a US Open experience! Yardage is deceiving, 6,000 from the tips and 5500 from the 'regulars', but you won't shoot anywhere close to your index the first time you come out. Clubhouse is welcoming, with an excellent variety of food & drinks. And the owners and staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. Come out and play, you won't regret it! Well, maybe a few times when you card your third triple-bogey, but that's golf.

The last time we played several years ago we were disappointed in the condition of the course and the Clubhouse. Wow! Two ladies took over the course a couple of years ago and are doing an awesome job of creating a good mountain golf course. First the Clubhouse has been totally revamped creationing a great venue for food, watching sports, sitting on the patio or shopping in the PRO Shop. Most impressive with more of a touch of country club feel. The course is in better shape too. This takes time so we understand this is a work in process. The greens are very good. Tee boxes are good and some are currently being redone. Plus the golf carts are plush with nice simple GPS on each cart. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. On this Sunday afternoon due to recent rains it was cart path only. This is a VERY hilly course with a lot of terrain so it makes for walking up, down, over and more to get to your ball. It has water on a few holes. Plus take time to enjoy the mountaintop views from the elevation. Work is continuing on the course so we look forward to playing in the future. “Congrats for saving this rest mountain course.”

We held a Rehearsal Dinner at Reems Creek Gold Course and they did a fabulous job. Asia assisted us from beginning to end and was an awesome host. The food was very good and the service was top notch. Everyone that attended had nothing but positive comments. They were very cost competitive and was close to the venue (Fields of Blackberry Cove). Couldn’t have asked for a better evening. Thank-you Reems Creek and especially Asia for all your help.

Flooded fairways, tee boxes have large dead spots, mud bunkers with 3 foot weeds in them, multiple large sinkholes, mold in the bathrooms, just a few of the things that could be improved on to actually want to spend money to play here. Many better golf course options around Weaverville and Asheville to truly enjoy.

My husband and I had our rehearsal dinner and welcome party at Reems Creek Golf Club and we had the best experience! The staff were great to work with, they were communicative and laid-back which helped make the process seem easy and enjoyable! We were able to rent out the entire space -- the pickleball courts, the pool, tee-times for golfers, the driving range, the outdoor patio, and the dining area for our event which made for a great time! The sunset over the patio is spectacular and made for a great back-drop for our family speeches and music! We would highly recommend booking with Reems Creek for any event!
