Sequoyah National Golf Club
About
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.

Terrific Mountain Casino Course
Course I’d part of the local Indian casino and has some of the best conditions around. The views and elevation changes are amazing.
Must play for and western North Carolina golf trip.
Great day to Play Golf
The views on this course are absolutely amazing! Everywhere you go! Fairways and greens were in excellent condition and everyone working was extremely nice and helpful.
Stunning
This place was absolutely amazing. Worth every penny. Will definitely be back and will bring the crew!
Difficult, fair, and beautiful
I live in East Tennessee and have played most courses in the east Tennessee and western North Carolina. This is easily my favorite course in the area. The greens are fast and true. There's an advantage to playing here more than once as there are certain spots on the fairway that you want to hit, and spots to avoid. Beautiful doesn't begin to describe the scenery. Majestic would be a better word. I will be back, often!
Could be much better
Pace of play extremely slow. They don't have enough carts. 30 min. delay on tee off time because of the shortage of carts. The carts need to be updated. GPS system works some of cart.
They should build a better club house with better pro-shop, dining area and restrooms with at least two shower room. Their parking lot is so small.
Slooow
5hrs 20min, this place should get a 5 star but the staff doesn't monitor the pace. Great course condition. This course is super hard, but absolutely beautiful.
Beautiful course
Great course, challenging. If you are a below average player, bring extra balls, but come anyway. Wonderful sites and fun golf.
Perfect Fairways and Good Greens
As I knew before playing, this course requires accuracy not distance. Fairways were like carpet but bent grass greens a little beat up due to players not repairing their ball marks. Greens could be unputtable due to the severe slopes in them; but green speeds at only around 8 helped. I hit hybrid off all par 4s and 5s accept two holes and this was from the “tips”. The elevation change helps to make this course shorter than the card yardage from the back tees. Definitely will be back again next year.
Awesome course with beautiful views.
Beautiful purse with awesome views. Starter was awesome and a great help as it was foggy and could not see where to hit the ball. The pro shop staff was not as friendly, but the course and starter made up for that.
Asheville Trip
Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. They made everyone feel welcomed and appreciated. Course condition was immaculate. Very challenging course but friendly course for all levels of golf.
A lot of fun
This was great. The course is in phenomenal shape and the layout is mountain golf at its finest. Signature hole is a 200ft drop in elevation from tee to green. Super cool. Green we’re clean and fast. Fairways were in good shape and so we’re the tee boxes. The only real course issue was #16 par 3 was soppy wet but it is in one of the lowest parts of the course behind the mountain. The only other “issue” was bugs. There were gnats everywhere. I’d totally deal with them though. If I’m being picky the driving range distance wasn’t great and the snack bar was average. What matters is that the course was fantastic. Super enjoyable, fun, hard course, will be back.
