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.

Stunning views

Absolutely stunning course. Great layout that will really test your course management. If you hit it in play it is very scoreable, big numbers possible on quite a few holes.

Incredible views

Really nice course and layout! But it is a difficult course. I would not recommend this for beginner. If you don’t care how good you played, then you should try this out and make sure you bring a camera with you. Most of the hole have an incredible view of smoky mountains as backdrop. Especially 18 holes! You can never get this view from anywhere else.

Amazing Views

So let me preface this review by saying, I've played a lot of golf courses and this by far had the most amazing views I've ever seen. I drove 3 hours to play here and passed by many other courses that might have been cheaper, but this was by far worth the time and effort to get to.

-Somehow, the pace of play was impeccable. I normally play as a single and I got paired with a twosome and one of the other players was new to the game and he was still able to keep up with the group in front of us. I also never felt pressured by the group behind us. That was really nice.

-The course conditions are really amazing considering the winter most of NC and SC have had. I feel like in a .month or two the course will be really nice and green. The sand traps were some of the best maintained I've played out of.

-Take the time to enjoy the views. Especially on 18 and the 15th.

-The Staff also was extremely helpful. When I pulled up for my tee time, they informed me that the clubhouse had had a water leak and might end up closing operations until they could get it fixed. Luckily, they only delayed my time by a few minutes and were helpful. Due to this, I couldn't really get a gauge of the food offerings but it seemed like the standard fare.

-This is a harder course than it looks. Even though the distances might be shorter on the card, if you can't shape your tee shot on some of the Par 4's especially you're either gonna be out of position or lose your ball.

This course is really hard with forced carries and tricky greens need to play a few times to appreciate it.
