Gatlinburg Golf Course

Some stunning views but too many hills and cart path only holes. Very slow play unless above average golfers are ahead and that was not the case today. Quit after my wife and I both parred 12. Spectacular hole but takes very too long to play it.

No Ranger no cart girl. We left after 11 holes because it was so slow!!!! Took us 3 hours and 45 minutes to get through 11 holes

Staff was not friendly. We had a older group of 4 and they sent 2 single players behind us and a single player. We struggled but they came out and told us to pick up our balls and move to the next hole. When we complained they said if you can’t keep up with our pace find another course. It was cart path only that day with smaller groups behind us. Save your money and play somewhere they want your business.

We waited on every hole. Cart path only. The starter put a dad an 2 young boys in front of our 4 some. People behind us hit in to us several times, we had no where to go. They need to let you off the cart path or monitor the pace of play.

Guy at front counter not to friendly and better bring bug spray.

Course was very over booked! It’s extremely hilly and there are so many places that are cart path only it made it very hard for me to play. I have breathing issues and we just had to go ahead and quit before we completed the round. Very disappointed! Climbing virtual mountains on ground that was hard as a rock and totally dry in 90 degree heat was totally uncalled for in my opinion.

The holes on the back 9 are alot of fun. Great place to spend your day.

I was looking for a course to play as a single last minute. I was able to find a mountain course that mentioned it had several elevation changes. The front nine was pretty normal but the back nine had lots of elevation changes. If you don’t like cart path only then it might be an issue. About half the holes are cart path only. Other than that I thoroughly enjoyed the course.

I won’t soon forget my experience here. From south Louisiana, and first time in the Smokies, I was blown away by the scenery and course design. Pace of play lends itself to being in the moment. In my opinion, 5 STARS, easily. I hope to be back sooner than later.

I’ve played there countless times while vacationing in Gatlinburg and the course is always in great condition. Pace of play is a bit slow for two reasons:

1. Many holes are cart path only which creates problems with club selection, plus many holes require a lot of walking as the cart must be parked a good distance from where your ball will be.

2. This is not a good course for the high handicapper who plays two or three times a year, yet people will pay the $65 green fees all the time to play there.
