Sequoyah National Golf Club
About
Nestled in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains, Sequoyah National Golf Club is surrounded by mature oak and fir trees. Owned by the Eastern Band of Cherokee, the course is routed through flowered valleys that provide a colorful complement to the surrounding mountain views. It feels peacefully secluded but it is conveniently located less than an hour from Asheville. Robert Trent Jones Jr. designed the layout. The rolling terrain guarantees a range of different elevation changes but there are also some flat holes. The golf course is a tough test, offering several forced carries over water and severe dogleg fairways. The sloped greens are no easy feat either. Proper club selection and accurate approach shots will be generously rewarded. Sequoyah National also offers an expansive practice area with a driving range and putting and chipping greens.

Wonderful Course
If you are in the area a must play…greens and fairways are excellent.
Sequoyah for the win!
Sequoyah National lived up to its hype! The course was in amazing shape and the views are spectacular! The pace of play slowed once but someone from mgmt came around and offered us free cold beverages and snacks and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience! I will be back soon!

Overall great experience with more elevation changes than we expected
Great layout and great conditions
Very good deal At 75$ senior rate
Bring your A game
Great test of your golf skills. For a more enjoyable round, play one set of tees closer than usual. Put your ego aside because the hazards on every hole will humble you immediately. Even the lo g hitters will end up in trouble. This course forces pinpoint accuracy.
A very challenging round but the scenery makes up for everything else. Be sure to bring extra balls. O ce you go off the fairway the bramble will rip you up. And they cut it back.. Good luck and enjoy.
Wonderful Mountain Course
This was one of the very best mountain golf course. The views are spectacular. The course layout was very challenging with extreme downhill and uphill holes. At some holes you tee off from a very high point to a fairway far below. Very beautiful hole layouts. Green in very good condition although had been aerated a few weeks before we played. Fairways in very good condition and some were narrow. Did not see a restroom on the course and the front nine does not return to the clubhouse. The panoramic views are spectacular. . I would highly recommend the course and it is a must play if you’re not afraid of high elevations.
Pleasantly surprised
I was pleasantly surprised at the good condition of the course this early in the season. The staff including the grounds crew were very kind. We’ll certainly be back.
Need Marshals and support help
Gorgeous layout. Greens were aerated but only paid $45 for golf, cart and range balls. Great deal. Would have paid triple that if the greens weren't punched. Obviously the course is understaffed. Ran out of range balls but nobody to pick them up. Pace of play was absurd. Group in front of us were two holes behind and would not let us through. Need a ranger to dictate pace of play. Didn't get in my 18 holes due to golfers with lousy course etiquette.
Great Course, amazing elevation changes
The only criticisms were the fairway grass was just starting to grow and the greens had just been aerated.. The course should discount the green fees for the aeration.
Great Track
When I came to play I expected a fun simple and beautiful. I got a fun complex and beautiful I thought it would be too short and easy but it ended up being perfect forcing you to play your full bag and get creative. Greens weren’t in the best shape but still good. Just a warning though the greens are ridiculous to putt on with there being 2, 3 and even 4 different levels with some holes being cut right on the edge of tiers
Sequoyah National WNC
I have played Sequoyah National every year since it opened and it keeps getting better and better! Home number 12 was closed for repair or I would have given the course five stars in this review. It will be repaired soon and will be five stars once again. The staff is super friendly and helpful as always and the course has a very challenging layout but is meticulously maintained throughout. The pace of play flowed smoothly throughout the day and we had a blast. The current management group is doing an excellent job. As a member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee I’m very proud of our asset and the team taking care of it. Looking forward to coming back soon! Keep up the great work!

Incredible views
Course was amazing. The views were absolutely incredible. Course is very challenging and punishes you for bad shots. Only complaint I had was some of the pin placements. But overall it’s a must play course in the area.
