Love this course.

To be honest this course usually eats my lunch. Have been playing here off and on for years. My wife and I have been coming here every year or two for a long time. It gets tougher every year, wonder why. Beautiful course and in great shape. Nice people work here. Hole 12 is awesome. Less than two feet from the cup. Best shot ever her. Cannot wait till next year.

over rated

I went expecting a beautiful scenic mountain golf course. It was very scenic but the layout and design of many of the holes was very strange. The front nine is very average with a couple of decent holes. The back nine is very scenic but it seems like the designer decided to make it as difficult as possible with no regard to playability I love great courses that are challenging but the back nine is a bit over the top. If you don't mind waiting 30- 40 minute's to play a downhill par 3 with a 200 foot drop in elevation go ahead. I am confident this is not the best muni. In Tennessee let alone the country.

Should have been told

This is quite a hilly course, we were not told at check in that we were to stay on cart paths only. Only after we had played the first eight holes, we were approached by course management and told to stay on cart paths only!!!!! I am handy cap, if I was told at check in paths only I would not of played.

Target golf!

A lot of challenges on this course including canyon-like holes with steep banks on either side of the fairway and blind shots. The course was in great condition and the scenery was spectacular. A really great value - we played in the afternoon for $25 for green fee with cart. We really enjoyed it!

Beautiful views

This course is definitely the most beautiful course I've played. Played it last year while we were here on vacation and definitely had to do it again this year. Only complaint is that they don't have a driving range. Greens are in pretty good condition and fairways looked great. Try to stay in the fairway though because if you don't you will be climbing a mountain.. Literally!

Beautiful mountain course

Playing conditions were great on this course. Fairways and greens are in excellent condition and the course is challenging, yet fun. Friendly and accommodating staff contributed to a comfortable playing atmosphere. There are several elevated greens and tee boxes and they provided amazing views. Busy course, but the pace of play was fine and we finished in the normal time frame. I'm a 19 handicap and scored an 89 my first time out here, so playable for a high handicapper! We really enjoyed this course.

Good experience

The hills and valleys of this course provide a different challenge from the flat and open courses we play in the north country. The course was in excellent condition. We very much enjoyed our experience there

Lot of walking

Enjoyed the course but was extra tired from having to walk across wide fairways and up and down hills due to cart restrictions. Quality of round suffered as a result.

Beautiful but very difficult golf crouse

This was the hardest golf course I have every played. The fairways are narrow and the ruff is thick. It was like playing on a PGA course except for the greens being slow.

Hilly +

Greens had just been aerated so they were bumpy. This is by far the best course in the area for scenic views. Hole 12 is really special ! Fun course to play.

Great Mountain Course

Challenging and fun mountain course with enough tees for men and women to choose your skill level (handicap). Some fantastic "drop" 3s and valley twisting 4s and 5s. I had a great time.

Loved number 12

Really enjoyed the course. Thought it was tight but the rough sloped towards the fairways so not extremely difficult. Hole 12 is one of the most picturesque holes I have ever played. Don't walk the course.
