Must play

This course is a must play. Absolutely awesome layout that forces different shot shapes and challenges players from all tees (out foursome had two from the whites, one from the gold's, and one from the reds). The tees need a lot of attention on roughly half of the course but the remainder of the course was in fantastic shape.

Just dont

Very disappointing, no driving range, no Marshall’s except for the starter. Course was in decent condition but greens were very slow. So many hills it is hard to determine where the fairway is. Bunkers were wet and hard.

Great Course, Awesome views

We played this course on vacation in Gaitlinburg. It was awesome. The morning mountain views can't be beat. Course was in great shape and they kept the golfers moving on the first tee. It was a busy day, but never felt pressured. The elevation changes bring some challenging fun to the game. Will play again!!

Gatlinburg Golf

The course was absolutely beautiful and in very good condition! The pace of play was good. Players and staff were all very friendly. The course rating is way low. The course was much tougher then my home course which is rated 10 points higher. It’s advertised as one of the most beautiful courses in America and I definitely concur!

GNATS

Gnats everywhere that storm around you so bad that you cannot even focus on your game. They drew blood from both my wife and I in multiple areas . The course is an awesome course, well maintained and friendly staff, but we left after 5 holes because of the gnat issues.

It’s a must if you enjoy golf. It’s very challenging but fair. Carts are brand new, everything too notch. A few of the tee boxes need attention but that is my only critique. Would play it again and again on my vacation here in Pigeon Fordge.

Beautiful views

This course has some amazing views of the Smokey Mountians! Additionally, the course is in fantastic condition! The front 9 was great, but the back 9 really took the cake! Challenging and the best views in the entire course. The staff was also very friendly and the carts were pretty high tech which was fun! My husband and I had a great time playing here for our anniversary!

Great Golf course....poor player management

The golf course is in excellent condition and a fair test of skill. The starter ensures that golfers adhere to their tee times, but after that, you are on your own. On the fourth hole we had 4 groups stacked up. Many of the players in front of us had rented clubs and it was their first time playing golf. Young kids running around the fairways with no respect for the pace of play. No ranger on the course. Group behind us was so fed up they left after six holes.

Cart girl showed up on hole #2. During our 5hr and 45 min round, we never saw her again.

Like I stated earlier, great golf course, lousy course management.

Course was in excellent condition and has a challenging layout. The front and back nines play very different from each other, which made for a fun and interesting round.
