Solid

The course was in great shape. I was the last one to tee off that day (single) at 3:30 pm on a Thursday. Unbelievable! Encountered only one other group on #4 and quickly played through. Yes, still some cart path damage from floods and 3rd tee box was closed. No sweat though. That little 40 yard par 3 made for an easy bird. Folks were friendly in the clubhouse and a clubhouse expansion is in the works. If they do it right, this could eventually be the best course in East Tennessee

Challenging but fair

Great layout, the course itself was in very nice shape, wonderful greens. They are still working on fixing damage from Helene but it doesn't really effect play. Definitely would recommend, but make sure you have an app with the course routing as there are a few tee shots that are hard to see the landing areas.

Amazing Course!

We come to Pigeon Forge on vacation every year and play golf once or twice while there. I stumbled across this course about 3 years ago and it has been our go to ever since: The layout is very playable with good character. It is a very score able course but can eat your lunch as well. The long ball helps on most holes but a few of them require a strategic shot to get in position. The greens are well kept and the fairways as well. The rough is deep enough to penalize you but not kill your round. I really enjoy this course even with the repairs still underway from the storm. Highly recommend giving it a shot!

Course has a lot of potential

Arthur Hill would be rolling in his grave if he seen the condition of his course. 5.5 hrs to play 18 isn’t acceptable! You guys need to upgrade your carts. Reminded me of the goat track down the road back home.

Quality Course

Played 5-12-25 through 5-15-25 (4 rounds). A+ greens and fairways. Tees - B+. Working on sand traps to make them top notch. Friendly, helpful staff. Trouble lurks, if you "spray" your ball too much.
