Great views

The views on the course are outstanding! Greens were a little off but overall a great value for the money.

Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda

Clubhouse is spacious and looks like a private club. This is a City owned Public course with two distinctly different nines. Front nine is resort-like and much easier than the back nine which is tighter, more secluded and more scenic. Overall, the layout is fun and scenic with lots of elevation change. To be honest, for a $75 green fee, the greens were substandard at best and unplayable at worst. All greens were punched (aerated) about a month ago and were top dressed with white sand that left each aeration hole slightly below grade causing putted balls to hop and bounce like jumping beans. They have also been attacked by fungus and are crusty and bare around the edges and in many other areas. Pace of play was slow - our round took over five hours to finish. No sign of a marshall - anywhere. No sign of beverage carts - anywhere despite being told they had them. Bottom line: fun course, great views, challenging layout, so-so conditions.

For the money at a resort, expected better greens & fairways

Staff very friendly. Carts good! Not a nice bathroom, and none out on the course, only at the turn. It's a beautiful layout but unless you go regularly, you'll not know where the water, river, or trouble lies. The score card does not accurately show where to layup. But it's a gorgeous area, Mountain View's, a par 3 high on a hill.

Course has been better shape.

Played this course for 35 years as a visitor. Unfortunately many greens are in poor shape due to stress and being wrongly fertilized. It was in worst shape I have ever seen. Course layout is great. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Discounted pricing should be the norm for the course in tough condition with the greens as they were.

Gorgeous. Fairly challenging. Great staff.

While visiting Gatlinburg we headed over to Pigeon Forge for a day of golf. Super friendly and helpful staff. Nice putting and chipping greens but since there's no driving range, there are 3 nets set up to get a swing going. From the very first tee box, the views are spectacular and the fairway challenging with hills and uneven stance. If you stay in the fairway, you'll be rewarded! The carts are electric and ride smoothly. Some of the greens have some problem areas, maybe due to excessive rains this year, but balls were still rolling fine.

A spectacular day at Gatlinburg GC

Even with a little rain had a great time with my family today.

Great layout and much different from Florida courses I play at home. Course is short but challenging (especially the back nine).

The par 3 12th hole is worth the trip, but this course also has other challenging holes where tee shot placement is critical.

A special shout out to the course staff. They were accommodating, super friendly, and made it very easy for me (4 hdcp), my wife (non-golfer), and my two sons (infrequent golfers) to enjoy this beautiful course.

Good value as well with $50 pp Hotdeal.

We ll be back next time we re in the Gatlinburg area.

Pleasant surprise.

I was looking for a course to fill in my week and trying not to spend a fortune. I came across Gatlinburg C.C and was very happy with the results.

Tourist course

AZ golfer in town dropping kid off at college.

1st, the bad. Its a "treat course". Its a course in the heart of Dollywood and you pay for it. No driving range. Some views ruined by encroaching tourist area. There are better courses nearby for better price. I played 3 the week I was here.

Now, the awesome. Course layout. Tons of fun. Blind shots, funky lies, elevated tees and greens. Narrow fairways making shot placement important. Signature #12 does not disappoint and not even my favorite hole. For an AZ golfer, I was geeking out on almost every hole.

Good but not great

Got a good deal which is why we got good value for our money but this won't become a favorite course.

Greens are in pretty rough shape although they roll fairly smooth. There are a lot of blind shots (not a favorite) and the number of cart path only holes/areas seemed excessive and not really required.

Amazing

The course has amazing elements but it is beautiful everywhere you look. Only got to play nine but will be back to play all 18. Love the elevations changes and very challenging, but don't be intimidated.

Bad Greens back 9

As a tourist the pace of planes terrible, folks giving lessons on the course. No rangers in action. The back 9 almost all the greens were in terrible shape. Maybe come back in October so they can fix this course and get their staff to leave the clubhouse and go work on the course

Wonderful course

Paired up with 3 random golfers and had a great experience. Front nine is more open, while the back nine accuracy is required.

Not a long course, but get out of position and it will play long. The 12th hole was every bit as breathtaking as advertised.

Staff was very friendly, also - from the pro shop to the starter (listen to his advice on how to play the course) to the food crew - nothing but class.

Can't wait to play this course again the next time I come to Gatlinburg!

slow and smooth

I played as a single and tried a couple of times to pair myself up with one of the twosomes on the course. My attempts were unsuccessful, so I played a couple of balls off the tee and played a relaxing round on a picturesque course. Elevation changes, tight fairways, longer-than-expected holes made for an enjoyable round. This is a course I would play again.
