Gatlinburg Golf Course

Gatlinburg Golf Course (in Pigeon Forge) is a must play for any golfer. Very scenic and very enjoyable.

This course is very challenging especially when it's wet. There are quite a few blind shots on this course so it's important to study the hole descriptions. I like a challenge so this is a fun course to play. I did end up slipping and falling a couple of times because it was so wet. I was covered in mud by the time we finished. My wife found it really funny, me not so much. Will definitely play here again.

Love the design and character of the course. Played it in late November, so greens were under maintenance. Will definitely play it again.

Played as twosome went very well. No holdups weather was as good as it gets. Fairways were brown, expected but they were great. Greens had just been aerated so it made that part difficult. Just a dandy course with superb views. Playing again this week.

Man we got lucky on the weather. 61F with little wind an no rain is an anomaly in Gatlinburg so we took advantage. Greens had been punched but not too aggressively and still rolled true. This course is NOT walkable unless you are Austrian. Severe elevation changes especially on back. I played blues and my wife red. I'm a 12 ( Age 60 ). Shot 84 so I rate it moderate. Honestly, about 15 good holes and I bet the views in October are breathtaking. Two holes ( both Par 3 on the back ) bear mentioning. The first # 12 features a Golden Tee style drop off...most severe I've ever seen. I honestly didn't even realize I hit the green but no one else found their ball. Yes, its unique but kind of silly and needs a ball drop area since the slopes on all sides are ankle breakers. # 17 is truly unfair. Its a 232 yard Par 3 ( 218 from the whites !! ) and is straight uphill surrounded by rough. To a back pin my GPS was 249. My guess is that with the elevation it was playing about 260 for me and about 210 for my wife. If it was windy it would be unreachable by anyone other than someone with a card. Since the back plays to 34 ( front 37 ) my advice would be to take the tees back a little and it becomes a nice par 4 between a very challenging ( yet fair ) 16 and 18. Otherwise, the course had variety and a fair balance in hole length and design. We really enjoyed it. Oh, and my wife says it needs more ladies merchandise ;)

We got exactly what we were looking for on our vacation here. The course has a lot of elevation change and elevated greens. It is all about ball placement with lots of narrow fairways and valleys! We will surely be back!

I’ve played many courses, but nothing compares to this one. The front nine is alright, but the back nine is what makes this course. You won’t find a better course in the country that is this nice and for this price. Once you make it to the back, you can go ahead and put your cover on your driver, very short. Definitely make it to number 12 if nothing else.

Gatlinburg Golf Course has the most spectacular views of the GSM. We always have a fantastic and fun round, playing this highly challenging course. Grounds are well maintained, greens are flawless, and CLEAN course restrooms!

Highly recommended for the course play, the views, and the $$!

Everything was great! Very interesting layout and beautiful scenery. Very good condition for late fall (only a few bad spots in rough and had a couple greens needed a little attention but for the season it was great). Biggest bummer is no range. Good practice green and chipping area though and I️ didn’t use it but apparently there is a hitting area to warm up in. Very fun and interesting with all the elevation changes! Highly recommend it’s a unique experience.

Course is nice, would like to play it a few times to get comfortable with distance and shot selection. They have several holes only cart path only. Really makes it tough when u dont know the course

Probably the best course I’ve played in Tennessee. The course was in Great condition. Definitely has challenging holes. The green rolled really good and fast. The staff was very friendly.

Played with two friends from Indiana and we had a great time playing a challenging course.

I enjoyed my round at galtinburg golf course. Course was in great shape. Not to hard but made you think about your shots. Only downfall was the hold up at the turn took 20 minutes but it was a beautiful fall day so it was crowded. Overall was a fantastic experience and will come back next trip to gatlinburg

Front nine was excellent. Nice par 4's. Ball marks on greens were prevalent. But greens putted very true. Need to play back 9 more than once to find correct placements. Loved no. 12.... Long par three way down in valley. Very nice layout worth playing again.

It was claimed to be one of the most scenic courses in the country and I would agree with that. Course is surrounded by mountains and it is beautiful. A lot of up and downs, you will shoot from very high tee boxes, some par 3 to greens and some to valleys and you will have to shoot up to the green. Played first time with my buddy and loved it, and we came to play again the next day. Staff was very friendly too. Only complains are: 1. Greens are not bad but it could be faster. 2. Second day, there was a 6-player team in front of us and it slowed everybody down... it seems there is no rangers at all to keep pace.

will go back. Could not down load the course gude app. Went blind. Don't suggest doing this. Makes the course very hard but if you have the app or another device that will give a few additional tips besides GREEN front/center/back yardage. You'll be happier. Nice shape. Great looking holes from the tee. Just need local help or good GPS info. Try it you'll like it and understand what I meant above.
