About

Holes 18
Type Resort
Par 72
Length 6517 yards
Slope 142
Rating 72.0

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.

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.

Beautiful Mountain Course

This was my first time playing this track and it won't be my last. The course was in immaculate condition with perfectly manicured fairways and greens. Even though I didn't hit from the bunkers, they were visually in great shape. Placing your shots is key to playing well here and the undulations of the greens are something to behold. The views around the course of the mountainous terrain was gorgeous and being from WNC, I'm used to this type of view. If you can make it during the fall with leaf season, you will be in for a real treat on this course. 10/10 recommend with the hot deal and I will be back soon.

Must play

If you're going to the casino in Cherokee I highly recommend playing Sequoyah. The upgrades to the course was outstanding. Only got to play 11 holes because of a storm but was given a 9 hole rain check. Can't wait to go back!

very challenging course

unique golf course in Smoky Mountains . Back tees are only 6500 yds- slope 142 Blue 6125yds slope 139. In many places if your shot misses the fairway your ball is gone-- no need to look. Play conservative--- fairways & greens---- birdies are available. The aggressive player gets chewed up here.

Amazing fairways and greens.

This course was in great shape. I play a lot of places including Myrtle Beach. This course is as good if not better than most courses at Myrtle Beach.

My new home course

The zoysia fairways and bent greens, the mountain views, the no standing water, the list goes on about how awesome this course is.. The Superintendent, the Greenskeepers, theGolf pro, the general manager and the retail manager and those under them all deserve a raise.
