Great course that’s part of the Cliffs community. The whole staff is incredibly friendly, the holes are very well-maintained, and the course itself is fun and pretty versatile. Love the water features and the fact that there aren’t too many of them and the ones that are featured aren’t overly challenging.

What a great place with super staff. Had the privilege of golfing here for a good cause, benefitting kids at Captain Gilmer Christian School at Fletcher Academy, Inc. The staff are super, the course is awesome, nested among mountains, hills and streams, and its overall location is not that far from Asheville.
