Played an early Sunday round, course was in good shape. Good layout, fun place to play. All the staff were friendly. Prices are very reasonable. Driving range is in good shape as well! Only things I feel it needs currently is, some work done on the cart path and it would be nice if a couple of the more elevated tee boxes had a step or two or maybe a railing? My senior father I played with struggled a little with getting up on some of the more hilly tee boxes. Outside of that I love it and being local am going consider becoming a member.

Traveled to the area from Michigan and boy, was this course a treat. Very well maintained and amateur friendly. Greens were difficult to read but fun. Fairways and tee boxes were great condition. Enjoyed this course much more than Mt. Mitchell. If you get a chance, play this course. For $30, it's a steal!
