The staff was friendly and very helpful.

The fairways are in decent shape.

Horrendous greens

This was my first time playing at this course and it was very disappointing. The fairways were in fair condition but the greens were like putting off of shag carpet. They pace of play was unbelievably slow, so much so that myself and the gentleman behind me stopped playing after 9 holes even though I did a hot deal for 18. They also charged me $20 for my dad just to ride in the cart with me. If you’re looking for a 6 hour round then this is the course for you but if not then I’d consider going elsewhere.

Play elsewhere

I played the course for the first and last time. The crab grass, even on the greens. The greens had been aerated and no notice of that in the listing. The carts are pathetic. My cart did not have a brake so it rolled away twice. The trimming around the streams and water were poor. The overall condition is poor. The cart paths were like a war zone road. The asphalt was destroyed. Play elsewhere and enjoy a manicured course.

First timer in this area

Greens were in-puttable. They had recently been aerated but had not been mowed or maintained. Not enough rakes in sand traps, some had no rakes at all. The only staff person we saw was the 1 person who checked us in. No driving range. No on course amenities. Pace of play was great. Some unique holes.

Fun course

Course in good shape, some greens a little rough but have good character. Front nine a little soggy in places, but overall good. Back nine plays shorter but was a lot of fun even with a few blind tee shots and not knowing the course all that well. Read the scorecard for friendly hints...it helps. Fun course and great value...we’ll play again

Course is not very good. Lots of torn up cart paths. The fairways are full of grass clippings. The greens are pathetic. Try putting on a weed bed with sand all over it. I live in East TN and this is a poor choice. Book elsewhere. The golf cart did not have a functioning brake and it rolled away twice. The sprinkler came on for 3 minutes and almost soaked me. Crabgrass everywhere and poor trimming near the streams.

Good but not great

Good value for the price we got it in golf now. Was expecting it to be in a little better shape greens were in okay shape still rolled good. Front nine is a very good layout back nine is more target golf and can be tricky if you have never played before.

The Creek is Everywhere

Great staff and course was in good condition, especially since they just had a bunch of rain. Front fairly open but challenging, the back very tight and hilly. A couple of the greens were showing some grass which should be there but overall they held well and putted true. Pace a bit slow but did enjoy the round. Beware of gnats - a repellent is almost a datory

Gnats were beyond horrible! Overall condition of the course was awful. Only good things to say would be the staff was very friendly and we got it on Golf Now for $17. Definitely won't return.

Very nice

What a great course set in the Smoky Mountains. Front 9 was relative flat with some challenging shots. Back 9 gets you with the mountainous terrain. Beautiful course in great shape. Booked on GolfNow and got a Hot Deal for $17. Well worth the money and drive. Thank you for the great experience and friendly staff. Definitely will be returning in the future, sooner rather than later. Great little Par 3 pic attached
