Course was in great shape. There are several difficult holes for the average player. The weather was iffy but we were able To play all 18. The pro shop workers were very friendly and helpful. Great experience!

Great course

Awesome experience playing this course for the first time. Difficult for a newer golfer. Unfortunately the wetness caused the course to be cart path only, which is a shame. Pace of play was pretty decent with a few slow downs around the tougher holes.

Great mountain golf

Our first time to play here and we loved this course. Hilly with some great vertical drops from the tee box. A very unique course with the hills and narrow fairways. The course is very well maintained. Would love to play at Gatlinburg again.

Great course

A must play if you are in the area! Some very unique holes. I got rained out the previous day but had no problem getting a tee time for the next day and I’m glad I did. I will definitely play this course again the next time I am in Pigeon Forge.

Very interesting layout

Extremely fun course to play. Front 9 is long; 3 par 5s and par 4 that was 460 yds. The back had some very fun holes; 12 drops over 200 feet, 17 is a 240 yard uphill par 3. A few blind shots. Course in great shape. Will come back.

Overpriced

Pace was super slow, no rangers there to speed up pace. Hit green in regulation but putt rolled off because of poor course management and straight dirt on greens. Got a triple bogey which really hurt my confidence. I think it’s overpriced all thing considered, it’s not in any fantastic shape by any means and I’ve played some nice courses in my time. Every hole feels like it’s cart path only. And I mean somebody call an exterminator for all the gnats like geez.

Hot weather
Used cart

Back 9 is why you should come

The Course is a nice course, well maintained but hilly, which you would expect. About 5-6 holes are cart path only all the time and that's not a big deal, but slows down play. If you are out of shape, have a hard time walking or climbing stairs, I would not recommend this course. Lots of uphill and down hill lies. On the otherhand, the back 9 has a lot of mountian views and Hole #12 is the signature 500' drop from tee box to green with the mountains in the background. We were paired up with others both days we played here. Second day with a couple who rarely played and it was a long day. But, don't let that discourage you. If you like to play golf and headed to the Smokies with the family, I'd recommend you try this course. Very memorable.

Unfriendly customer refund policy

Paid for 18 holes; had to quit after 9 holes due to weather. Getting a refund for the unused 9 holes was not an option. The only thing offered was a credit for the unused 9 holes. This was not optimal as we are from out of state.

Lack of flexibility on this policy was disappointing.

Reasonable pricing. Fantastic conditions. Amazing views. Greens soft for approach shots. Rolling about 10 on stimp. Very hard to read breaks though. Always a must play when near by.

Cool course

Course was awesome. Lots of elevation change. The back 9 is epic. But the carts are annoyingly over protective. Get to close to the green, cart disabled. Go off the fairway, cart slowed to 2 mph. But I would totally play again!
