GREAT VIEWS

THIS COURSE HAS SOME AMAZING VIEWS. IT IS CONVENIENTLY LOCATED OFF THE MAIN PKWY IN PIGEON FORGE. ONCE ON THE COURSE, YOU ARE TREATED TO QUIET MOUNTAIN LANDSCAPES. THE FRONT 9 IS FAIRLY OPEN WITH MANY ROLLING FOOTHILLS. THE BACK 9 GETS MORE RUGGED WITH CHALLENGING FAIRWAYS AND BEAUTIFUL MOUNTAIN VIEWS. SOME OF THE GREENS WERE NOT IN GREAT SHAPE WHICH MAY BE A REGIONAL TIME OF YEAR ISSUE. OVERALL A GREAT EXPERIENCE.

Tough course

Fun and interesting course, very scenic but tough 1st time play as there are many blind shots. I would imagine more enjoyable when you’ve played it multiple times and learn where to aim your shots. Hilly lies on most every hole.

Total lack of golf ethics and way too slow pace of play. Play faster or get out of the way.

Pace of play extremely too slow. Needed a course marshall to either speed people up or jusy ask them to leave. Paid for 18 but could just stomach 9. Too many people have NO golf course ethics what so ever. Would be nice to play on a course where ethics were on display and course marshalls help keep the pace of play moving.

Ok conditions some greens dont get enough air and are diseased. Was a fun course to play numerous blind shots make it difficult to know where to hit your tee shots. I did like the elevation changes. Would play again . Bfair

Great course

The course is in great shape even with the greens punched and sanded just days before our round. They were still cut and rolled great. Fairway conditions were also excellent. The pace of play was quite slow for most of the front nine but picked up as we started the back. Unfortunately they allowed a single to go out on 10 ahead of us and we caught up to him, which slowed us up again for the last several holes. Beautiful mountain layout with a lot of elevation changes, especially on the back. Great staff, pro shop and snack bar. I definitely recommend it.

Lots of steep play

For those who are not long hitters, it can be tough. Cart path only because of steepness on some holes. That means lots of hiking up to the green.

I got my exercise today!
