Best course in this area!

My 14 year old son and myself played today and had a great time. We both really like the layout and green were as good as you could want.

Fun course!

I enjoyed playing this course and the views were really nice. My wife (who is a better golfer than I am) and I will definitely play this golf course again if we have the chance.

mountain views

Having someone with course knowledge is very helpful because of blind shots and doglegs. Greens were aerated and the roll was not true. Only two water stops on course so bring your own water. This course was fun to play and the staff was friendly and helpful.

Good front nine, back nine not so much

Played last week as we were staying right next door. The front was good, nice mix of holes. The par 5's were nice except for the 9th hole. Conditions of fairways were excellent and greens were good as well. Back nine was not good. There were tons of blind shots, with not good landing areas. One tee shot was down hill, completely blind to fairway and couldn't hit a driver and had nothing indicating how far until fairway ran out. Over half of back side was cart path only. Given the hilly nature and blind shots, was not fun.

GPS was extra and I couldn't get it to work. Would rather just pay an extra $5 in green fees and have the GPS available. Would have made round more enjoyable given all the blind shots.

Decent track, not worth the rate

One of the biggest perks of this course is its location and proximity to the main strip in Pigeon Forge. You also have some good views of Pigeon Forge, the Smokey Mountains, and even the tops of some roller coasters at Dolly Wood.

The course was in pretty good condition given the amount of rain the course had received.

There were a few tee boxes that had no grass, and when I say no grass, I mean not a blade of grass--not ideal.

To play this course, you have to be part billy goat. About the only time you have a decent lie is when the ball is teed up. I understand it's a course in the mountains, but some holes don't even have a landing area. Some of the hole designs don't make much sense either.

Overall, it's a bad course and it has some fun holes (especially the par 3s) but I'm not sure it's a $50/round course, especially given some of the courses that are close by.

Gatlinburg Golf Course

Up charge for GPS cart and additional tv features. Decent course, fun layout with evaluation changes. Lot of blind shots and if not playing with some one familiar with the course hard to judge distance and pin placement as well as course design. Fairly open and forgiving if not in the fairway. Tight green areas on most of course. No warnings about greens being conditioned and very bumpy.

Beautiful scenery and challenging holes

This course has awesome mountain views and unique holes not found on most courses. Due to recent heavy rains the course was cart path only today and the recently aerated greens were bumpy.yet It was still very enjoyable to play.

Great course in the smokies!

It was wet wet wet and it rained the whole round, but this course is fun and the staff is great. It is golfer friendly and not stuck up. Wife is a beginner and felt very comfortable.

Will play again every time in Gatlinburg TN.

Wet

I know they can’t control the weather but this was a swamp!! Some of the holes should have been just shut down until it dries out!! Pretty disappointed because I have been looking forward to playing this track!! Don’t think I will come back

Great course, bad time of year

For the excessive amount of rain we have had the course is in great shape. The greens were still showing signs of being micro-punched recently, but this effected the roll minimally. Back nine is far more impacted by the rain so enjoy the front.

The best of the best

as far as course layout, this is the best of the best. We come down in March, and it is fairly cool, in the 60's, but nice for us as Indiana is in the 30's and 40's that time of year. Only drawback is not being able to take your cart to the ball, but its well worth the walking, as this is the best of all the course we shoot down there in our rotation every March. I do not know why someones review was not positive, other than this course kicked their butt and they had a bad round, as I look forward to golfing this course each year, and I cant wait to do it again.
