Gatlinburg Golf Course

Great staff, excellent location from where I was staying in pigeon forge. Funny course, Tight squeeze on number 10, but fun.

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.

The views on the course are outstanding! Greens were a little off but overall a great value for the money.

What an excellent way to cap off our trip to the area, thoroughly enjoyed myself and for this time of year the course was in good 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

I enjoyed playing this course it was very scenic and the course was in good shape the fairways were nice the putting greens were nice overall I thought it was very enjoyable

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 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.

Beautiful course. Not difficult or long. Must be able to hit the ball in play on the back 9. Would play again in a minute.

Some really goofy holes. Greens were surprisingly good for this time of year

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!

I have played this course several times. The front 9 is okay but the back 9 (especially #12) makes it worth the trip. Now, if you could work on two things. (1) The staff in the Pro Shop are unfriendly. I have had the same comment every time I played. They act like they are doing you a favor by letting you play. My wife thought she made tee times to play at 8:20 it was actually 9:20 and the man in the pro shop made you feel like an idiot for not having the times right. He was very unfriendly and very short with us. The starter was actually pretty nice. Friendly and got us out early, paring us with a single. (2) There is virtually no place to warm up except for three practice nets that are in such bad shape that I hit two Pro V1 Balls through the nets and they disappeared down the hill behind the nets never to be found again. The netting is rotted and if you hit a ball in the righ spot, it breaks the netting and your ball is gone, down the hill behind the nets never to be seen again. I lost more balls in the practice nets than on the course.

Really? I'm getting that this is a hilly course and not a lot of flat spot for a practice range, but the nets are rotted and if you like to warm up before you play, you are for the most part, out of luck. The chipping green is fine but don't chip and roll it off the green or the ball dissappears out of site and you don't get it back.

The course greens are showing a lot of wear from players. The front 9 is like any municipal course, back and forth. The back 9 winds through the hills and is really fun.

If the Club would spend some time upgrading the warm up and practice areas making them actually usable and remind the folks in the pro shop that "customers" pay their salaries, you'd go a long way to making this a better facility.

Sieverville Golf Club is 10 minutes away, has two 18 hole couses and we played it for the first time this trip. Most likely be playing there instead of here next trip.

Key to this course is playing it for second, third, fourth etc time due to unseen or depth perception miscalculated landing areas. For the bogey golfer the deep bermuda rough leads to several lost balls but regardless the course offers a great experience that I look forward to on my next trip to Gatlinburg.
