Rough in front of the greens very reasonable but avoid missing to the sides, where the rough gets really interesting. Water on multiple holes that adds to the challenge. Read the grain on the greens as it has more effect on ball speed here than on most courses I've played. Well equipped pro shop and the people there couldn't be nicer. The course can be easily walked but carts are available as well as lessons. Putting green helps you warm up for your round and the players here actually let my son and myself play through two different groups that were slower than us. When is the last time you saw that? I don't play par 3 that often but when I do I definitely come here to improve my short game.

The golf course was in great condition, but definitely an interesting routing! A lot of target golf and hitting to specific landing areas instead of spraying it all over the place from the tee box which is always a fun change of pace. It's a little shorter than your average course but the challenge is in executing the shots. I'd definitely recommend someone to play here if they enjoy a course that's designed a little out of the ordinary. Great track!

Though an impressive property, our high hopes (for $1,000+/night) we're not met. As another…read morereviewer mentioned, the staff was very friendly but grossly undertrained. There was a mixup in our dinner time one evening and one of our spa reservations accidentally got cancelled. Nobody could adequately remedy either. We paid for an upgraded room, which felt small and cold -- in large part because the fireplaces had all been turned off for the season. We certainly would not have booked a room with a fireplace if that information had been disclosed! For a resort at this price point, not much was included. We felt nickeled & dimed the entire stay and cannot in good conscience recommend this property.

We are similar to many guests who returned to High Hampton after the renovation. We stayed once…read morearound 25 years ago when the place was known for "newly weds and nearly deads". The renovation is outstanding. As opposed to many renovations where the character of the place is destroyed (The Cloister on Sea Island for example), High Hampton's mountain charm remains with exemplary accommodations, culinary skills, and service. They have essentially a co-op program with nearby Western Carolina University, providing them with a pool of talent, always a challenge for remote locale resorts. The charm remains with no TVs in the rooms and a wide variety of games in the lobby. Not just board games, but games of skill. They have not bowed to the temptation of a video game room. Amenities were first class. Ample tennis and pickle ball courts and a great croquet lawn. We did not golf but the course looks in great shape. The staff service level was 5 star resort quality as was the menu. Only giving it a 4 as the Kids Camp is just glorified baby sitting. We had a five year old and we could see the campers were unsupervised, particularly preschoolers. We saw the counselors just turn the kids loose at the pool and lake and in some cases not even watching them but standing around talking to each other.
