We have played here several times in the past 20 years. Love this course especially in the fall when the leaves are at their peak. Lot's of wildlife to be seen while playing. Especially Wild Turkey. One of our favorite courses.

Mountain Golf

I loved the setting and the layout with great Smoky Mountain View’s and a wide variety of hole layouts. Fairways and tees were decent, but greens were quite shaggy with many rough spots. Also, no fringe cut around greens. This would be a 5 star if they can get the maintenance up to snuff.

Wild Laurel

Wild Laurel just keeps getting better and better! Have been making improvements daily to enhance the golfers enjoyment! Fairways were great and greens were rolling true! Mountains surround you with turkeys and an occasional bear rambling through! Terrific and then finish your round at the 19tb hole with an awe inspiring view of Mt. Leconte in the Smoky Mountains! Doesn't get much better than this!!!

Much improved

I am impressed. The last time I played here it was not in good shape. I can tell that they have worked on it. Greens are much better and they would be perfect if people would just fix their ball marks. Most fairways are good but some still need a little work. Overall I am very happy with how the progress is coming along. Hopefully it will one day be one of the best courses in the state because it certainly has the setting to be that.

Why????

And great clubhouse, great bar and awesome amenities. Greens were in good shape… Why, why, why do they not maintain fairways and tea boxes? We were the only ones on the course… They said because of the rain but I say it’s because they let the conditions deteriorate. Honestly, this course would be awesome… Great layout, cool elevations and visually interesting. Great selection of beers and drinks in the clubhouse… I would tell you to play there but just be prepared that if you’re 5 feet off the green and think you’re going to run the ball up there you’re gonna have to go through a small forest but o get there!

Mountain course

When you walk in the front door the smell of cedar hits you and you know you are in the mountains . The bar serves food and a good selection of IPA’s, wine and stiffer options as well. And the view from the bar is beautiful looking out over the course and mountains in the back drop. I could have stayed there all day. The course was challenging, interesting and fun. If you have never played this course I recommend that on some holes you drive down and look at your landing area in that some fairways are hidden around a corner or over a hill. My only knock were that the fairways need attention. I am not talking about moving from winter to spring, I am talking about proper maintenance. Over all I truly in joyed this mountain retreat atmosphere.
