First time here. Front 9 fairly straightforward, back 9 much more slope and blind shots. Really need to play it a few times for shot selection and distances. Unfortunately did not have chance to do this as from far out of this area. Would recommend the course, given the need to play repeat rounds.

Nice place to play when in the Smokies!

Course was in pretty good condition considering they had recently punched the greens. Pace of play was a little slow but hey we’re on vacation so no worries! Would definitely love to play again. Keep up the good work guys!

LOTS of elevation changes!

Being from South Georgia, the changes in elevation took a little getting used to. While it was something new, it wasn’t impossibly difficult. The front 9 is definitely easier because it’s more open. The back 9 is quite a bit harder. It was much, much tighter than the front. The facility was nice and the staff was very cordial. Picturesque views all over the course! The only negative was the pace of play. We played the front at a normal pace, but the back was a different story. There’s a 15 minute per hole time limit, but I don’t think the golfers in front of us were aware of that piece of information. Other than that, we had a great time. We’d love to go back!

Very SLOW

Staff was wonderful to let us tee off an hour before our scheduled tee time. BUT the pace of play was very slow, we ended up not finishing 3 holes in the back. We were already going into 5 hours of play! There was NO marshal around to push golfers. Don't think will play this course again.

Good bang for your buck.

Course has its challenges but very playable. Has a range of length of holes to wet any beak. Under construction on the main building. Appears to be a deck area, Looking forward to that. Nice bar on the inside but tmwith construction, not a great place to hang out after the round just yet. Looking forward to coming back next year!

Oh My!

The first hole gives you a hint. Green is elevated! And I mean elevated. Dog legs, more elevated greens, where's the green?!

It was a difficult course for me.

IT WAS LOADS OF FUN!!!! Great vista..

YOU SHOULD TRY IT.
