Gatlinburg Golf Course

Course is squeezed into hills & valleys. Holes 9 &10 are worst examples with very narrow fairways (20 yards wide) curving through the valley. Six holes are permanently “Cart path only”, mostly because the course was constructed with insufficient drainage and the narrow fairways can’t handle the runoff. Cart path only on a very hilly course gives you a real hiking, and if I wanted to go hiking, I would have. Course does live up to it’s tagline of having great scenery. I just wish they had moved a bit more earth to widen a few fairways & built proper drainage.

Played course several times over the last 5 years. Scenic views second to none. Fairways are always in prime condition

Front nine is pretty open the back nine is tight some greens need work beautiful scenery

We love the course, Beautiful mountain views of the smoky mountains very very enjoyable

The view from a lot of the holes were breathtaking beautiful took a lot of pictures the course layout is immaculate it was golf cart path only in I was very tired but time we got through on the 18th hole It’s a must play course

Great property but way too much traffic.

Tees and greens are showing the wear and tear of constant golfers. On full tee sheets

One of my playing partners said this course was more challenging the when he played the Black course in New York!

Course was wet, so it played long and cart plath only.. Took 5 hours.

Great layout with a fair challenge. Each hole has its own signature and name. Looking forward to my next trip to play again.

The course itself was in bad shape. Huge muddy areas (bad drainage), greens were bare in spots, tee boxes full of divots, rough was 6" deep in areas. For the cost, I found the course not worth the money. I would play again if it were in the $40 range. Shark experience golf carts were helpful for yardage but difficult to understand for adding scores. Pace of play was average, starting about every 10-15 minutes, but backed up when trying to find a ball 3 feet from the fairway. Overall, a good experience, but would not pay $65 again for this course.

Poor layout, poor conditions, poor service. It’s a hard pass, there are other courses close by that put it to shame.

The course is overrated for the cost. It is not well maintained, greens were sporadic, fairways were not mowed. I expected a little better course for the price.
