Challenging but fun

Wasn’t sure what to expect but course was in great shape and the layout was really good. Fairways in good shape and so were the greens. They were a little slower than I’m used to but got used to it. Sorta bogged down around hole 13, had a very slow group that I caught up to. I wasn’t in a hurry so no big deal. Will most likely be back.

Greens were in very good shape

Course was very busy and they are short on golf carts. Had to wait well past my scheduled tee time.

Staff were very friendly especially the kitchen. They went out of their way to get me a meal for lunch.

Staff Whines

Staff complained about my booking the round through GolfNow. I am a GolPas+ VIP and should not have to deal with flack from the workers for booking my round through the service. If they do not want golfers to use GolfNow to book rounds, they should remove their course from GolfNow; otherwise, shut up and let me play golf!

Great course, lots of bugs

I loved the course and the layout, however it’s incredibly frustrating to play golf when gnats are flying in your eyes, ears, and nose during your backswing. There were maybe a handful of spots on the course where I was not affected by gnats. Great course, too many gnats…

Smoky Mountain Golf Course

Hilly course with nice greens mostly elevated which I am not used to and were recently aerated. Later in the season the fairways will improve but was a good value for the price. All in all an enjoyable experience

Great views and very friendly staff

Great staff, very welcoming. This course has some of the best views. Love hitting over the graveyard. Greens are always challenging and majority are elevated so club up. Great value for the price.

Quaint Local Club - Good Value

Nice old course with a distinctly local feel. Lots of local senior men frequent this course. Not fancy, but honest, very reasonable fees, gas carts, friendly vibe. Kitchen made fresh hot breakfast, the woman running the kitchen could not have been sweeter! The green keeping staff has focused on the greens and they were in great shape considering the recent hot, dry conditions. Kudos to the superintendent! Slowish but consistent and green. No sand on this course - all greenside bunkers have been converted to grass bunkers.beautiful views, Back nine is tighter and harder than the front.

Fun, challenging, & friendly staff

The staff was very friendly and it was a painless experience checking in. It was a challenging course with lots of slopes and is very fun for someone around a 20 handicap or less. My only comment as far as layout would be the course has some tight fairways on some of the holes. Golfers who pull or push far left/right run the risk of landing directly on another fairway very easily or putting the ball directly into play with golfers next to you. Not the most forgiving choice of course for new players. Very scenic course and would recommend for intermediate golfers. I would rate this course 8.5/10 and would recommend for anyone in the area looking for a scenic and challenging course. Very fair prices for food/beverage in the pro shop for those interested.

Everything’s slowly getting better

I’d give this course a 3.5 rating currently. Fairways are starting to look good again. My main complaint is how slow the greens are. Also had a twosome come from 18 as I pulled up to hole one and teed off again as I was getting my driver. Wasn’t in a rush so I didn’t care as much, but still annoying to have to wait after warming up

Great staff

The staff was very friendly. We were told that the course has only been open a month since last year’s hurricane. Knowing that, helped us understand that the conditions weren’t perfect but in good enough to enjoy the round of golf.

Beautiful views of the Smokey’s. Some holes have some steep uphill greens.
