Course has improved

Played this course a year and a half ago and it was in bad shape. Looked like someone had mortar shelled the greens. It has new owners now and the course was great. No bald spots on the greens. Fairways are maintained. Course looks great. They are working on the cart paths, but overall a great course to play now.

Excellent course

Course is in great shape. Huge improvements happening this year and each time I play there is more improvements. Great work on the course. My only complaint is the food service out at #9, WAY OVERPRICED, need to find a better option.

Easier Golf Course.

My husband and friend played the golf course on Dollywood lane Wednesday June 30th and said that they just couldn't believe the high hill's they had to encounter.

This course they said wasn't as hilly as the one yesterday and really loved playing at this one.
