Gatlinburg Golf Course

The Gatlinburg Golf course is an excellent public course with plenty of challenge for the seasoned golf, yet manageable for newer golfers. The front nine is more open with plenty of hills. The back nine is much tighter with even more traverse terrain. The fairways and greens are in excellent condition. The bunkers had good sand. I played in October and the weather was perfect. The course was more impressive than I expected and I would play it again in a heartbeat.

It was great playing in the mountains, loved the elevation changes and pace of play. My young boys and I played twilight which was perfect for us because the course was slower.

We were a little bummed that the clubhouse closed at 6pm. Our hope had been to go in for a bit to eat and to sit on the patio for a bit.

Pleasantly surprised with this course and will definitely play again when back in the area.

Played as part of a Deal Time and not sure it was worth the $55 we paid. Definitely wouldn't have been happy at $80

Greens had been recently aerated and were bumpy and inconsistent on speed. They were also inconsistent on approach shots with some holding and other rolling way out.

Course lay out had too many blind shots with the cart GPS warning you of them but no way for groups to communicate the way was clear, On top of that roughly half the holes are cart path only meaning walking up and down steep hills to get to your ball. Those same elevation changes meant you need a range finder and to bring multiple clubs to your airway shots.

Several tee boxes were in rough shape and others had such thick grass that even using a tee on some of the par 3's, your club could get hung up.

Fairways were a mixed bag, some were great and others with too thick grass. Rough was always a challenge to get down to the ball.

Layout was visibly pleasant and hole 12 is pretty special (teeing off 165 ft above the hole).

I won't be playing here again.

Fantastic course lay out. Thoroughly enjoyed the round. Will highly recommend the course.

This was our first time to play here. I only have 2 complaints. Only have nets to hit into if want to warm up and the greens looked a little rough in spots but I never had a putt that was affected by any of those spots. It’s a fun and challenging layout. Long fairways are very narrow and the rough is unpredictable. Your ball can settle down or it can stay up a little. Very tough out of rough if can’t keep it in the fairway. A couple holes you can think hit good shot and the slope can carry it out of fairway. 10 is a fun hole. Should hit an iron but I went with driver, chanced it and just played it off the hill Worked perfect. 12 is around a 200 ft drop and really cool.

We were the first out on Sunday so pace of play was great. Lol. Beautiful course! And hole 10 is extremely challenging! And the par 3 with the 100 and something foot elevation drop was awesome!

Beautiful course with tight fairways. Deep roughs. Only thing lacking is driving range or driving cage for warm up. I’ll be back!

Course was in good shape greens were a little rough in couple spots but overall very good has variety of holes to challenge every level of player
