My favorite course

Love this course, however, my only complaint is the condition of the bunkers. The bunkers are not maintained, edged or raked consistently which makes bunker play very difficult.

Starter was rude

The starter told us “we are the slowest group he’s seen”. Meanwhile, the closest foursome behind us was three holes back. He based this judgment on the fact the “course members” were more than three holes ahead of us when they teed off more than 20 minutes before us. He really put us in a sour mood. It was unnecessary. Plus the course and the rough were unforgiving. Do not recommend.

Great value, played many times

Played most of the golf courses in the area. This one is near the top of our list for fun and value. Not a long drive from Pigeon Forge or Sevierville. Highly recommended for anyone at any golfing level.

Stay in the fare way!!!

Greens were good.

Fare ways were good.

First cut of rough- thick

Traps- still bad

Staff -friendly

Value on Golf Now- very good

Layout- beautiful

Food - food truck at clubhouse will bring food to you on course.

Phase of play- hit or miss but normally good.

Course fairways and greens were in excellent shape. Rough was tough and I mowed. 5 to 6 inches deep. Great overall course - would like to see the snack shop open at the turn or put vending out there for snacks.

Great play

This is a great golf course. The rough is very difficult to play from. Straight is a premium. It was also wet so that made the rough even worse. Love the layout and I will come back. The price was incredible for what you get.

Course needs more signage of where next hole is. We went wrong way 2 times. Cart paths need a lot of work. We like the course, the layout and scenery there by the river. The greens and fairways were in good shape. But 2nd cut too rough and sand traps, bunkers, and rough around traps need a lot of work. We were disappointed that it has not been kept up since it has been several years since we had played there.

Fairways were excellent. Greens were excellent, true, and held well. If you hit in the rough, it will cost you strokes! The rough is very thick!

Course is in great shape, definitely challenging on some holes. Beautiful scenery since a river runs around & through course. No houses on course makes for a quiet round, would recommend to everyone.
