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.

Great track

Course was soggy but no one's fault there... guys ahead of us were painfully slow but it being cart part only didn't help. No complaints whatsoever about the course just other golfers. Tip... play behind the group in front of you, not in front of the group behind you! I.e. don't lay on your belly reading putts for triple bogey.

Overall one of the most beautiful courses in the area. Tees, bunkers, greens, and fairways were gorgeous. Hat tip to the staff.

This is a course that everyone needs to play! The views are gorgeous! Pin placements were tough!! I thought the greens were a little slow today but otherwise the course is in great shape! Lots of elevated greens!

Great Golf Course

Beautiful views of the smokies enhance the experience, but even without that this is a beautiful track. The young man outside that greeted me and brought a cart to my car couldn’t have been any nicer. I was a single that day and was paired up with two of the nicest guys I ever met. Just a really, really great day. The normal price is a little steep but I got a great deal on GolfNow. Highly recommend adding this one to your list.

beautiful surroundings

Very nice course in the Smokey Mountains. Huge elevation changes, and way too difficult to walk. Nice fairways and greens, but we had wet conditions so it was cart path only. All carts have GPS

Excellent course

I really enjoyed the challenge of this course. I am average golfer and did not know the course, so it was a bit unnerving hitting to greens that are elevated and hard to see the layout.

MY big complaint is all of the ads on the GPS system. We spend way too much time trying to get the GPS back to golf so we could hit. It was a major distraction and actually had our group upset. When someone puts that many ads on their system, they must be really desperate and not someone I would do business with.

Incredible layout

Absolutely one of the most beautiful golf courses I've ever played and we loved the tee markers with the stories behind the name of each hole.

The staff were very friendly, when we played it last year the man at the cash register would not give us a small bag of practice balls because we had used Golfnow to book are tee time, this year we got a smile and golf balls.Also, when we drove into the parking lot the guy in charge of the carts and also doing the job as starter drove a cart out to our car. It looks like there must have been a new general manager! Thanks Bob Gornick

Beautiful Course

First time on a course like this. Other than recently punched greens, course in excellent shape. GPS in carts was terrible. Kept saying we were off course and go backwards, problem was we were on the paved cart path.

Staff very friendly and got 25% off for punched greens. .

I played this course 3 times in 4 weeks. It certainly is a different experience from coastal golf in NC! It is much better than neighboring Smoky Mountain Country Club!! You will not be sorry about playing here!

Better bring your A game.

Several tees for all handicaps

However distance is not as difficult as the sloping farways & greens. You have to be able to hit uphill and downhill lies.

Greens are huge and perfect shape as are the fairways.

First time playing

We played this course for the first time on a hot deal. Usually out of our price range, there are good courses close by for much cheaper. The day we played it was after some rain for a couple days so it was cart path only. The course was in phenomenal shape, even with the wet conditions. My opinion is that it is the best course in that area. We will play again if we can find another affordable rate. Only negative is the off course amenities. You don't stop by the clubhouse at the turn and the bathroom on the from nine is a porta-potty. Not a big deal for me, but played with the wife. Big deal for her. The back nine did have a real bathroom.
