Gnats and lost balls

The course itself was very challenging and fun to play. The gnats were terrible from hole 2 on. A given due to all the wooded area on the course. Greens and fairways were nice. Only issue was losing balls in the rough as they tend to sit down and you can't find them. Did find other lost balls in the rough to help make up for some we lost. Would recommend to play.

Beautiful

Great course with some great views to take away from the terrible golf you’ve been playing all day. The pass was a bit rough but still finished our 18 in slightly less than 5 hrs. Still worth every penny would love to go back.

Beautiful & Challenging Mountain Course

Exactly what you expect when booking a round in the Smokies! Beautiful views and tons of elevation. The back nine are a group of extremely challenging holes but a ton of fun to play. Definitely recommend if your looking to challenge yourself while staying in or around Pigeon Forge.

Very enjoyable and scenic!

Enjoyed the course with my wife and another couple we were matched up with. Challenging course with elevation changes on every hole. Tremendous scenery. Done in 4 hrs and 15 minutes. Great pro shop. Will play again with pleasure when we pass through again next year.

Worth it

Front nine has its challenges. Back nine is more difficult. Staff very friendly. We waited on the last few homes but nothing to complain about. If it’s cart path only, be prepared for some serious slopes. Overall, it was a good time. Perfect weather.

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.
