Great Time

I was a single and got paired up with 3 other singles. We had a fantastic time and I couldn't have picked 3 better guys to golf with. I would highly recommend the course to anyone who is staying in the area and has time to play. It was one of the enjoyable rounds of golf I have played in a long time.

Spectacular views

Unique layout with 4 par 5s in first 10 holes provides a unique twist. Amazing views and plenty of challenges for shot making. Greens a little rough in spots is only area to improve a great round of golf.

Vacation golf

The views from all over this course were breath taking. When playing golf on vacation you don't want a very challenging course, you want to have fun and score. This course allows that. The only issue I had was, so many of the greens were "blind" in my chip shot.

Course was fun.

Overall had a good time, staff was friendly, no driving range but has warm up nets and a chipping green and putting green, course was in average condition, greens were nice, course layout is neat with the elevation changes and the smokey mountains all around , a good experience I would return.

Gatlinburg Golf

We were greeted by the staff immediately. They verified our online reservation quickly. The starter greeted us and explained the course rules. We started our play exactly on time. After the first hole, we had to wait for every shot. The tee times were all booked with mostly foursomes, but since the pace of play was so far behind schedule, it was disappointing to not see a course Marshall present to move things along. The greens were very fast, but the surfaces were.marred by some bare areas. Ball marks were repaired for the most part. It was a very fun course to play with the only criticisms being the bare areas on the greens and the slow pace of play (5:05 for 18 holes)

Gimmicky 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.
