Patriot Hills Golf Club

There are several things about this course that need to change.

1. It was 93 degrees by the end of my round yesterday. There are no water coolers on this course. At one point, I had to refill my water bottle from a dirty bathroom sink. This is unacceptable!

2. There are no yardage sticks in the fairways. Occasionally, you will find a faded 150 marker on the cart path, but those are all but unnoticeable.

3. No beer is sold there. This is just odd. It's a golf course! Also, the snack bar doesn't take debit cards, so the person working has to walk your card to the pro shop to complete your transaction.

We had a 2:00 tee time. We got there at 1:30 and was told we could go ahead and start. It had stormed the night before, so we were told no carts on the fairway. I think we were the only people on the course. I like the fact that the course has 3 par 3's, 4's, and 5's. There are a lot of out-of-bounds markers on this course. The course was in great shape. On # 8 tee, a guy come by and told us we could use the 90 degree rule the rest of the way in, which I thought was nice. This is one of my fav courses in the area.

They had had a junior tournament that morning and we played later in the afternoon so they had the course in tip-top shape for the tourney so it was a good day to play there. This course has matured nicely since the last time I played there. Truly great greens, wide fairways and just a fun but very challenging course to play. I highly recommend it.

this is a well maintained golf course with a very friendly staff, greens were not as fast as normal, enjoy the mix of three par threes, fours and fives on each nine. course was fairly crowded but pace moved well, always enjoy playing this course

Nice track. First 3 holes have wet conditions in a rainy week but it is nice after that. Confusing yardage on par 3 6th over water hazard but worth playing it more than once, so no problem after the first round.

very slow play and no water drinking on the ciurse

Course has five par threes and five par fives. Love it.

The staff is very friendly. The layout and quality of the course is one of the best around. It's my favorite course in the Knoxville/Gatlinburg area, which is why I don't think twice about driving an hour to play it.

we would play this again

when we played bermuda still dormant and not much grass

we enjoyed the course just the same

This course is a drawers delight. While there are rolling hills, most of the course sets up more for a right to left play. On my last round here I played the back tees. If you get out of position it can be quit challenging, so keep it in play and go for it on the par 5's. The greens roll true and can have a bit of speed. be sure to notice where water might drain off of them as breaks can be hard to read. This is one of my favorite courses book your round and enjoy. I'll be sure to go back many times.

Good course has some nice long fairways that make it interesting

The staff was prepared for me when I got to the course. They had selected another player of who was near my age and ability which made for a competitive round and a lot of fun. The course was in good condition and well maintained. The roughs were not too rough and the course has some challenging holes. I would recommend this course to anyone regardless of skill.

well maintained, large greens, fair course, hilly but can be wal

Great course my wife and i enjoyed playing there and will be returning the next time we are Tenn.

Enjoyed this course, friendly pro shop staff, great mountain views. Hope to visit here again soon.

Aeration should have been better communicated. Please advertise in the future.

Love Patriot Hills. The course is a lot of fun to play. One negative to yesterday's round was that they had aeriated the greens. When I booked the tee time, they did not have an aerification alert icon on the booking. May be a good idea to call the course before booking. The greens were so bad, we had to instill the "2 putt rule" once we reached the green.

The staff was great, the course in good shape even with the fairways in a dormant state, but the foursome in front of us ruined the round. No course should ever allow players out without their own clubs. This ruined an otherwise beautiful day on a nice course. I will go back to give them a chance to see if this is the norm.

I have played this course many times. I find the staff to one of the most friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable in the area.

I have enjoyed Patriot Hills in the past so when we went out to play Wednesday I was disappointed to see how poor the greens were. Yes, they aerated 2.5 weeks prior but the aerate plugs were huge and not even close to being filled in.
A full disclosure of that would have been nice...they were literally not puttable...
