Fun course

As expected, the course is very hilly. The only down side was that it makes for some wet conditions if it has rained recently which it did the day before our round. That didn’t hinder play much though. It does play a little longer than it looks and there are some elevated greens and sloped fairways that can be tricky. Overall, it’s a neat course with some fun holes. I’d play it again.

Course in terrible shape

I have played this course many times but worst this round than any before. Greens terrible shape, pace of play in exceptable. They are over playing this course and doing very little repairs at all. Price for playing this course now is over charged . They know they can get play because of location so they don’t care about shape of course or price. Sad

Pushy Start

The ranger was very aggressive! It was 4 minutes until our tee time started and we were already being yelled at to be on the tee box. Other than that, the course was beautiful and the rest of the staff was great!

Great course

Great layout! Good mix of holes. Tight tee shots with small landing areas for long hitters on some holes. Greens were good, repair marks were only issue.

Gatlinburg is a mountain course

We have played a few mountain courses around the Smokies. Gatlinburg would fall in the upper middle. The front 9 was very playable and understandable, the back 9 seemed to need more clearing or land to make it playable. They have a great shark gps system to “try” to help you determine a target, but some of the targets are crazy small, not to mention hidden. I prefer to play at Sequoa National in Cherokee, which is a much better layout for most of the 18 holes. The views however at Gatlinburg were spectacular! I have posted a couple on Twitter, inthesandgolf. Enjoy the best game ever invented, wherever you are!
