Too Tricked Up

Course conditions were good with the exception of the 9th fairway (very sloppy and wet even though it had been several days since it had rained) and several greens on the backside where there is a lot of shade. Had to keep carts fully on path for 8 holes and for several others there were areas of the fairway where the cart was not allowed. Clearly, this is a very hilly course so you expect some of this, but the cart path restriction here was excessive. This is particularly frustrating as they advertise in cart gps which is basically useless on cart path only holes. Also, a number of the holes are tricked up (90 degree doglegs with short, narrow fairways that run out, so if you don't have local knowledge, you have a hard time picking a good club off of the tee. Finally, the forward tee on the last hole is nonsensical. A player from that tee is faced with a 75 yard tee shot to a plateau that steeply falls into a pond if too long only to lay up to a 130-150 yard carry across water to the green. The other tee boxes are fine, but the forward tee should be moved to the side of the pond and changed to a par three. The staff was friendly, but when we finished our round at about 6:30PM, the clubhouse was closed up tight with no staff anywhere to be found. Couldn't even access the restrooms!

Slowest play ever

Should never take 5 1/2 hrs to play a round of golf. Regardless of pleas to the golf course staff to speed up play, nothing was done.

Good variety

This was a pleasant surprise in the middle of Pigeon Forge. The elevation of some greens and tee boxes added to the difficulty. It was a beautiful course. We plan to go back in the future. (It was a very windy day!)

The mountains

This was the most challenging course I played. Play your shots wisely or the mountains will eat you up. I am definitely coming back.

Not sure if it was just to early in the season but the course was not in good shape. It wasn’t worth the $50 charge.

Horrible Condition

This course is in terrible condition! Doesn’t drain well - green horrible - should advise players of problems on course - just a continuous mud hole

Had to stay on cart path - definitely needs to be shut down for repairs! To me it’s dishonest not to advertise it’s condition and take money from golfers! Most aren’t from the area so we don’t know until we play! I do not recommend until course has major repairs!
