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.

Every hole is signature hole

The course is absolutely stunning. The view from each hole can easily be a signature hole on other courses. The foliage on mountains added beauty to the course.

The fairways and greens were free of fallen leaves, which is amazing at this time of the year considering the course is surrounded by millions of trees.

Even though the pace was slow and it took us more than 5 hours to play, I would definitely play here again.

The clubhouse is a no frill clubhouse. The food was cheap.

A MUST PLAY!

If you get a chance— Play this course. Getting from tee to green or green to tee is like the first part of the HULK roller coaster ride at Universal in Florida. The greens are in excellent condition and fast. There are NO flat lies anywhere but except when you tee up your ball. The views are UNBELIEVABLE! The employees are kind and polite. BUT the course beat me up. Some difficult shots, but fun!

Solid 4 Star Track

Played in late September 2022. Weather was perfect. The facilities here are basically bare bones stuff. They have a small building that houses the pro shop, cashier and a very small grill (hot dogs, burgers and a few simple cold cut type sandwiches). Don't plan on a nice lunch or breakfast. Eat before, after or bring your own food. Employees are very helpful and accommodating. The range is small with those rock hard yellow balls we all love and cherish. The course is absolutely beautiful with each hole looking like a post card. Great diversity in holes with short and long par 4's. All of the par 3's are close to 200 yards or better but many are downhill. The par 5's are all a great test of golf. The bent greens are slick and very undulating. Downhill putts with front pins will likely result in a chip for your next shot. Great experience . Make sure you have a camera/phone. The scenery is outstanding.

Breathtakingly Beautiful

If you are afraid of heights you may not like some of the majestic, sweeping views on almost every tee box. I must have said “Wow” dozens of times. Besides the incredible layout of the course, it was in excellent condition. I haven’t played on better grass and the greens were smooth and fast.

Hank, the starter was very informative and a fun guy to talk with.

Heaven

I can’t even put into words how beautiful this golf course is. My words would not do it justice. I probably took over 50 photos on my phone and the pictures don’t even do it justice.

I HIGHLY recommend this golf course. It is an incredible experience. I have a new favorite golf course.

Spectacular views on every hole

One of the most scenic courses a person can play. Riding the golf cart around this course is like an amusement park ride. Very difficult to score your best. Well worth the trip.

Enjoy golf and the views

This course just kicks my butt. The only time you have an flat lie is when you tee off. LOL. The greens were fast and pin placement was unreal. I have never 3 putted so many times in my life. But that being said I had a great time. The course was in excellent condition and pace of play was perfect. Bring rang finder with slope adjustment you will need it. Can’t wait to play again next year.

Fun course with great views

We had a really awesome round at Sequoyah National. The course is not very long but it makes up for it with some tough greens and narrowing approach shots. Course was in good condition and provided some stellar mountain views.
