Smoky Mountain Country Club

My Dad and I played it in a downpour but it was still a blast. The drops from tee to green on most par 3s and the huge drop off the par 5 fairway made the course challenging and memorable. Staff was great. I’ll play it again in better weather for sure.

Great mountain course. Make sure you bring your range finder with slope correct you will need it to judge yardage especially on some of the par 3. Course was in great shape but the greens were very slow. Staff was amazing and extremely accommodating. Can’t wait to play the course again when back in town.

I did have a good time. Some beautiful views and come really nice holes. Sadly, there were some really poor conditions of the fairways and especially the tee boxes. Many tee boxes were just pounded sand and had to look everywhere for a quality spot to tee off from.

Many of the tees were in spots not aligned with yardage I believe as a result of these issues.

Greens for the most part were pretty good with the exception of a handful where I had to move my ball to avoid putting through dead grass, sand etc.

the staff was super friendly so definitely no issue there but they even admitted that with the recent membership drive they don't have enough carts sometimes so they are having some growing pains.

I think they need to invest in improving the conditions of the course because it has REAL potential to be a flagship course in the area with some time and $ reinvested back into with this new membership push. $ was fair for the conditions at least. If I had to pay more I think I would be have enjoyed myself less. For $20 more you can play courses not too to far away that are in perfect condition.

If you are looking to play mountain golf look no further. Only played the front 9 but it included 3 really fun “mountain cliff” shots, very exciting and challenging compared to you’re average course. Tee boxes need help but everything else was pretty good. Will be back again next year during our yearly family vacation to NC! Course was surprisingly full for a Monday at 2pm, pace of play was a little slow , 2:10 to finish 9

Needs someTLC on a few holes fun to play
They are working on it

Local conditions must be very dry, which makes turf recovery from winter difficult. Tee boxes were mostly grass-less, fairways turf thin. Suggest more signs directing players to the next hole (12th and beyond) as there are long cart rides in between holes, construction, hard to know where to go if you haven’t played here previously.

Slow pace behind every group.
Tee boxes were in awful condition - felt like a beach.
Greens were pretty good even though they had just been aerated.
Putting green was nice. Range was not in good condition and balls were on short supply.
Course overall was just ok- 3-4 holes are about 40-70 yards off a Cliff.

Played 4-3-23, had an 8:20 tee time. Pro shop employee was very friendly and helpful, he told me there was only one group of members already out but they were speed golfers and I probably wouldn't even see them, and explained the layout. I was by myself and finished in about 3.5 hours, I never caught the group already out or had to wait but with the beautiful views I was in no rush and took almost as many pictures as I did strokes. Greens are still healing up from aerification but should be good in a week or two. A few tees are in need of repair but the Bermuda is still dormant so it'll be another month or so til they start growing and filling in. The first 3 holes are fairly flat but then the fun starts. Be sure to have a range finder with slope adjustment, alot of downhill par 3 that are deceiving otherwise. Hole number 5 was probably the most interesting hole, had to do some math to guess yardage on my second shot with a completely blind shot off a cliff to a green waaaay down below, still made birdie though. As others have said I wouldn't want to play this course when it's wet, some of the switchbacks are pretty steep and I wouldn't want to be slipping and sliding down them. All in all, I really enjoyed my round and would love to play again if I have the chance

Waited on every hole. Fairways were full of dirt. Tees were in poor condition. Greens had been punched which is expected, however, cost was much too high for condition of course. Distance between holes was quite a drive. You will get a workout driving carts on this course.

Super great place to play greens , fairways and tees all very well taken care of. Don't hesitate to play this course . Wonderful mountain views

I want to give this course a 4 1/2 star rating, but I can't due to the condition of the tee boxes and some of the greens had some bare spots, I absolutely love the layout of this course and the fairways are in great condition

A fun day with beautiful weather & scenery. Fairways had some brown spotting but overall good to be recovering from winter. Greens were in great shape. Pace was good, was not rushed or held up on any holes. Grill was not open but could get ice & drinks. Very friendly staff. Highly recommend this course for a fun day (beginner, intermediate) with several interesting, challenging layouts. Lost quite a few balls!

It’s not the tour level course of Sequoyah national but it makes up for it 10 fold with challenging shots and breathtaking views. Number 5 is as unique as a hole can get and even with the shorter distances off the tee it still offers a lot of difficulty working around course.

My reviews reflect it being winter. The course was beautiful and the fairways were in great shape. I would love to see it and play it in the spring/summer
