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

Had a fantastic experience. Course carves thru unspoiled mountains with some of the best mountain views in North Carolina. Challenging yet playable. Accuracy off the tee paramount. Rewards good shots and punishes wayward shots as all great courses do. Golf course conditions were excellent with well maintained fairways and greens. A must play in western North Carolina.

Great course horrible pace!!!

No round of golf should take 6 hours but on this day that’s what it took. Some staff was great and helpful other staff was rude. Ran out of range balls multiple times. Massive backup on front and back nine. Course should have offered compensation for the miss managed tee times.

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.
