Cummings Cove sits in Hendersonville, North Carolina, close to downtown Hendersonville and Asheville, and it's in the Blue Ridge Mountains, kind of tucked away but easy to get to, so people like being near all the good restaurants, art galleries, and the Brevard Music Center. The place is gated and master-planned, with a quiet, relaxed feeling, and you see custom homes and big yards laid out in a way that makes walking around easy, and the property map helps you figure it out if you get turned around. There are two main entrances, with an information center right at 20 Cummings Cove Parkway and another at the Hebron Road gate, so visitors and residents have designated spots for coming and going, and they put signs out to help you find your way.
The clubhouse is the center of a lot of activities at Cummings Cove, sitting right by the Cummings Road gate, where there's a golf shop, a restaurant, a lounge, and spots to sit and talk, especially after a round of golf or a meal. The 18-hole golf course here is award-winning, with mountain views, tall trees lining the fairways, lakes, and streams, and the folks at the golf shop keep scorecards and run organized golf course tours, tournaments, and lessons, all with connections to the PGA of America. Visiting golfers, groups, and tournaments are welcome, and people use words and names around the facilities that are special to the community, so you'll learn them as you settle in.
Cummings Cove has more than just golf. There's a sports complex with tennis, pickleball, and bocce ball courts, and a pool for swimming or cooling off in the summer, and a dog park for folks who like to walk with their pets and let them run a bit. The fitness center covers indoor exercise when the weather gets rough, but springs and autumns have a lot of color and sunlight, and even summer's good for sitting out on a porch or by the clubhouse, since winters here are short.
The community offers year-round programs, from clubs and organized groups to regular dining options at the clubhouse restaurant, and the photo tours and property documents online show a bit of what life looks like before you visit. They hold tours for people considering living there, and if you like keeping busy, there's always a golf update, a social get-together, or an outdoor activity starting up. Cummings Cove has a membership program for residents, and services are set up for various care needs, all tailored to fit the layout and atmosphere of this peaceful corner in the mountains. The community prides itself on its private club feeling, welcoming atmosphere, and the fact that it's been rated one of the 50 best master-planned communities in the country, so folks who've lived in plenty of places say it's got something special, though it's always worth seeing for yourself.
