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.

Beautiful course, a must play if in the area

This course has beautiful views, it is quite challenging for a mid range- handicapper, and

it will test your game. Worth a trip.

Don't lose out on playing Sequoyah

The day started great with hitting some balls on the range with a cozy fire started in a campfire closely. Views were just incredible with late fall colors still vibrant. The course was tough to play for the first time. I had the great fortune to play with a couple of members who were friendly and willing to provide some insight on how to play certain holes. The par 4 15th hole was breathtaking with a significant drop from tee to fairway to green. Wish I could have gone back and played again. Overall, the course is exceptionally well kept, lots of interesting character for each hole. I will play again for sure. Also, please know that you have the opportunity to benefit the local community by staying close by or dining, etc. as the area is still recovering from hurricane Helene.

Wonderful hidden gem and a must play if in the area. We were staying in Gatlinburg and drove over an hour to play. Will be happy to do it again the next time we're in the area.

Special Place

Played several times making the trip from Asheville just under an hour each way, absolutely worth the effort if you e not played.

Pros:

cool range, balls included

Good gas carts

Incredible views

Nice staff

Well maintained

Great turf

Cons

Slow play sometimes waiting every shot

Tons of unfixed ball marks on what would be perfect greens, sad that people have no respect

Awesome layout!

Super cool place I played with a few locals that showed me the course. It has an awesome layout. It plays a little short, but the terrain and elevation changes were amazing combined with some amazing views of the smoky mountains at every turn. The pace was a little slow, but it was a holiday so that’s to be expected course was in great shape and I will be back if I am ever in the area

Great Course - But high $$ for Recently Aireated Greens

Great course and layout, fairways and tee boxes were in excellent condition. I was very disappointed to have paid $205 to play with recently punched greens rolling at about 6-7 stimp, greens had not been rolled or cut much at all. Round should have been discounted with the current conditions. Overall just showed up on the wrong week to play this amazing course.
