d
worst greens in the area. i played course last year and it was in excellent condition. not sure what is going on at the course now. pace of play was awful taking almost 5 1/2 hrs to play. pro shop was just ok. it reminds me of the old white pine course now before they closed. it says something when the old oscars course is in better shape than smoky mtn. cc. i hope they can get it together since it has always been a great course
Don't bother
Played this course years ago and it's in the worst shape imaginable. Some greens are unputtable. It's like they let the greens totally burn up and now they are trying to get them back and it's not working.
5 hrs of fun
Interesting layout, especially the back 9. Plays narrow with lots of hills.. Many areas of the course have been recently resoded and its just starting to take. Same for many of the greens.
One foursome backed up the course and added an hour to the round. At the turn, this group had 4 groups waiting for them to tee off on 10. Being 90, sunny and humid just added to the misery of slow play. There was no one behind us. We should have just gone back and played the front side again.
Other than the slow play, on another day and at a faster pace, this would be a fun course to play
Thank you for your review. Yes we certainly have sodded quite a bit in an effort to repair winter damage we inherited since taking over ownership on 4/19/23. No one wants to get this buttoned up more quickly than I do. Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Rob Giampietro, GM and Superintendent.
Good mountain course
Good mountain course, needs a little improvement on cart path and course, We enjoy it. Course usually dry, few gnats, not real crowded and price is right.

Hi Eric thanks for your comments. My name is Rob Giampietro, and I am the GM and Superintendent.We've taken over 4/19/23 and have done quite a bit of work. We've taken down 175 trees and removed no fewer than 50 stumps in addition to the 175. We inherited damage from a tough winter and have sodded a lot of areas to repair.
Regarding the greens. We have 5 greens that are USGA spec with subsurface drainage. When that drainage becomes compromised, ie blocked up, gases back up, just as in septic, and kill the roots.
Additionally we were unable to water in an application on a few greens due to a mainline leak and we scrambled to get water on those few greens.
As a result you witnessed some turf loss on those few greens. They were pretty dialed in before those events.
I've hosted 3 PGA tournaments in my golf career and have been hired to fixed problems just like this throughout the US.
It hurts to get this review but I want you to know we've righted the ship and we are back on track.
We brought in a plumbers camera to scope the drainage and find the blockages in the greens drainage, made the repairs and now those greens can properly vent, as designed. The turf responds over night when it can breath properly.
I would like to personally invite you back to give us another chance.
Sincerely,
Rob Giampietro GM and Superintendent
