Absolutely incredible course

Most beautiful course I’ve ever seen . There’s a par 3 on this course that is just absolutely incredible I’ve never played anything like it . Super friendly staff. Would recommend to anyone that’s passing through the area. Would play again if I was local .

Amazing Mountain Golf

I never played a course like this before. Tee of and have to hit a ball over a 50' hill to a blindside. Go thirty yards left and ball rolls to middle of the fairway. And last but not least a par three with a tee box 200' above the green on number12. I have never played mountain golf before, and this was a lot of fun. Not sure if I would like to play frequently but it was great fun for a weekend vacation trip.

Fun Course

We play most of our golf in the NC Sandhills or in coastal areas. What a fun course. It can beat you up if you’re not ready for the elevation change. We really enjoyed the course. Good condition, really quick bent greens and a fun layout. Everyone there was very friendly. A nice vacation experience.

Played the front 9

We played in early spring, March 31 so a lot of the grass was still dormant. It’s a very challenging course and will be beautiful in the summer.

Fir the love of God speed up play

The course was in good shape considering the time of year. But make sure you have 6-6.5 hours to play. The pace of play was very slow, especially the back side. They need to have rangers on the course to stop people from hitting 2 or 3 balls off the tee. We were 4 deep on many holes and players were still hitting 2 and 3 balls off the tee. I was 4.5 hours in when I left after the 13th hole.

Bogie golf at a bogie course

Pace of play was atrocious, the starter gave a talk about pace yadda yadda but it is not enforced at all. By hole 7 there were 4 groups backed up waiting to tee off. Cart path only because "grass has been recently treated" they said. This should be mentioned at time of booking for a course of this price and layout. The layout is beautiful but the terrible pace ruined the round and I'm not one to complain aboht a 4.5hr round but this was worse.

Wet but fun

Front nine is wide open. Back nine has a lot more target golf and is a much tougher test.

Gatlinburg golf club

this course was in terrible shape. And for what they charge you to play it should at least give you the opportunity to play all the holes. 3 of the greens were completely covered with leaves. The greens were in terrible shape. If you missed the fairway by even 5 yards you were losing your ball in the rough. Leaves everywhere. $80. And the course be in that shape??!! I’d spend the extra $20 and go to sevierville. At least you get to play the whole course. I’d never play that course again. And if anyone asks me I’d tell them not to play it.

Nice course but very slow.

Everything was great up until 4 groups stacked on 10th tee box. Management saying carts in by 5:15p isn’t very good customer service. Maybe they should have been out there monitoring the pace of play. If you allow people to pay for 18 holes then they should be able to try and finish even if it takes until dark. Tourist playing this course want to have a good time and not feel rushed. Other than that, course is in great shape! Has come along way in the past 5-6 years. Always enjoy the track.

Mixed feelings

Interesting course with huge elevation changes. Greens keeper is not doing a good job. To many holes are cart path only ever when the course is very dry. The golf carts are a real pain. They are constantly beeping at you and the gps requires way to much attention. No rangers on the course and pace of play terrible.
