Great course. Hit em straight (narrow)

Great course about 30 minutes from Harrah's casino. I played Sequoya Mountain last time out, but this was great course great staff, and great greens. I will not compare it to Sequoya because I think they are just 2 different courses. Good times! Also, they give you the option to play 9, if you don't have the time for 18

Wonderful little mountain course.

This is a wonderful little mountain golf course. The course was in excellent condition. The only thing better than the condition of the course was the staff from everyone in the pro shop to the maintenance staff. Everyone wanted to make sure we had a great experience. Just an fyi unfortunately they don’t have a driving range. They do have a putting green next to the first t box. Most of the fairways are wide but there are plenty of challenges on this course. I recommend this course and had a great experience. Can’t wait to get back to North Carolina in September to play this golf course again.

Great course for the price

Very beginner friendly course, grass is always immaculate and the holes are definitely unique and a good enough challenge for all players. Only downside is the back nine is a very strange lay out but it makes for an interesting round

Some really weird holes

14 through the power line goal posts and 16 hitting wedge to drive the green from 280. Just crazy!

As good as it can be

Overall layout is an issue due to presumably limited space at its construction, there are several "non-golf" holes that cause severe traffic jams and slows down pace of play, a few blind shots, etc. Greens are small and firm, but well maintained and roll true. Course is in phenomenal shape throughout, very nice little course, maintenance crew does an outstanding job. The rangers are friendly and very helpful. The ladies in the grill are great, food is solid as well. It's not anything special, but they have it as good as it can be.
