Great mountain views. Golfer friendly course hit the ball fairly straight and you will score well. Hole number 12 is one of the most memorable holes you will ever play.

I'm just a golfnow.com user and often go to reviews to help select courses. I understand the course was wet and cart paths only, however you rated everything about the course as poor, how can you make that judgement when you didn't even play. I would hope that other users post fair and correct reviews so that I can use them to determine whether to book or not.

Great place for golf

A great East TN golf course, layout is challenging. I play here about 6 times a year.Today it was cart path only, and that does slow down pace of play, but we were worn out after about 15 holes.

beautiful course

Play was a little slow, but expected it as it was a weekend. played earlier in week as pace was under 4 hours. Found the course to be challenging with the hilly terrain. Enjoyed playing the course and the great views.

Course has some surprises

Being set in the mountains, many of the holes are sloped side to side and some second shots are blind. Fun Course. The area had suffered some heavy rains recently as evidenced by some dead fairways and still soggy ones, but the greens were impeccable and putts rolled well. Given the opportunity, this course is well worth it.

Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge

The course was in fantastic condition for very early in the golf season. The fairways were brown but the greens were really green. Great layout and a wonderful alternative to Dollyworld. The only thing I did not like was that the tees were covered, something I could live with. I will play this course when spring has sprung.

Love the course

It could have been a little cheaper due to winter time conditions/dormant fairways. Out of several beer types. I'll be back tho

Very Underrated Course

I came across this course last year and was traveling through. Its mid-February but the course, bunkers and greens were in excellent shape. Area had 80-100mph winds (plus wild fires) but you couldn't see a single sign on the course. The grounds crew were working diligently as I played through. Staff was really friendly and the locker room was impressive for a public. The course itself is a fun track and can be really challenging (especially on approach shots). I was impressed with the layout and use of land. I highly recommend it and will be back soon.

Landscape

Beautiful landscape. Back 9 a challenge. Rain occurred prior to our play day. Doesn't drain well. Muddy everywhere. Cart path only is never any fun. Tee boxes and greens in great shape. Fairway grass in dormant period. Snack bar beverage only. Not good if hungry.
