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.

Awesome course.

Coming from Michigan where the land is flat, this course was awesome. Spectacular scenery and very well maintained course. This is a must for everybody, hole #12 is awesome. Would definitely play again.

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.

Beautiful course.

This is a beautiful course. My only complaint was that it was cart path only for the entire course. There are a lot of hills and it was difficult walking some of the holes. This also slowed down the play.

Okay course

Nice if not challenging course. Fairly open off the tee on most holes. Was in good shape despite days of rain. No contours to greens but they were in good condition as well. Glad I didn't pay full price like the couple I joined up with had.

Soooooo Slow turtles past me.

I am a fast paced golfer and tempo is everything. I can golf 18 in less then 3 hrs with two people. After 2 hr. 45 min on 9 still, I just past it went to club house for nine hole raincheck. Which they were very nice and apologized for Pace. I will golf there again but hope they space out the pace. Thanks

AWEFUL

The tee times were apparently too close together - we waiting for at least 10 minutes before every shot. the pace of play was VERY SLOW. It took us over 3 1/2 hours to play 9 holes - we finally had to leave.

VERY FRUSTRATING!

Great Course - Great Value

Playes 9 holes on this course. The course was well maintained and the staff was excellent. There was ZERO water on the front nine. LOTS of hilly terrain makes up for the lack of water features! Excellent course and terrific vale!!!

The course was fun. Lots of ups and downs, especially the back nine. Fairways were in great shape. greens were good speeds, and seemed fair. great views of the surrounding areas. par 3 12th hole was awesome as advertised, with a 200 foot drop to green. would play again if in area.

Giant putt putt course

To be fair the course started out fine and was in good shape and if I were a better golfer I might have looked at it differently. It did feel a bit gimmicky to me. Lots of steep inclines and drop offs, blind tee shots. If you are a shot maker you will likely enjoy this course. I may come back after another couple years practice.

Enjoyed the round and would recommend anyone to play. The course was in good shape, the greens rolled true and you were rewarded for placing your ball in the best available position.

Very Nice!

The course had just come off some serious rains earlier in the week. The grass had been mowed but it was obvious that it had gotten too high. It was not their fault but it did take away from the appearance of the course. Played 9 holes and right in front of a large group, so play was unrestricted. Course is rather hilly but beautiful. Would definitely like to play it again.

Golfing in The Smokies not bad at all.

Even though it was Cart Path Only because of The Heavy Rain from night before.All in all was a very good & challenging course.The 12th Hole Sky High was breath taking I parted it,The only thing I did not care too much for is hearing that Train from Dollywood from near by was very distracting while concentrating on your shots & putts.I will definitely be coming back to play it every Summer which will be a Yearly thing for Me & My Loved Ones.I will be back Later this year in October when I bring My Girlfriend with Me for Our 1 Year Anniversary of Dating 1 another.

Got to try this one

Course was in very good condition considering the frequent thunderstorms the day before. Cart path only meant we got plenty of exercise but had a great time. A true "mountain" course with elevation changes everywhere - a very payable course.

Scenic course

A challenging course with beautiful scenery. Long hours could have problems. Fairway shots will improve your score. Hole 12 is a beautiful par 3. Would love to play it again.
