Wild Laurel Golf Course

A fun course that navigates the mountains, with tons of scenic views and wildlife. A great place to have fun and enjoy the outdoors.

I have played Wild Laurel numerous times and own property adjacent to the course. Positives, the green are in excellent shape. That’s where to positives end. The fairways are in horrible condition. Most fairways are very sparse with little turf grass to play from. Where there is grass it is mostly weeds or other grass not conducive to play. Many of the tee boxes have little to no grass in the teeing areas and are mostly sand covered. Seeing the course in the awful conditions is depressing. In the past it looked like a great deal of effort was being put into making the fairways more suitable for golf and we were all optimistic that the new owners were effecting serious improvement. But the course has degraded back to a very poor state. It is a shame as the layout and location could be a wonderful place to play. Right now the course is so bad that it is not something one would want to spend money to play. Lambert Acres is in spectacular shape and I would recommend playing golf there and passing on Wild Laurel

This was a great place to play on vacation. The fairways are a little lacking in the upkeep department, but I still thoroughly enjoyed this course. Amazing scenery, stunning clubhouse, and very welcoming staff.

Course is gone . Fairways nothing but poa & clover . Rough is completely taking over . Greens were punched but understand that’ this time of year but even the creek & stream through the course were grown up . Tees had no grass some had sand on them. Sad to see this course go down like this . Used to ge a gem

I’m not one to normally write a review, but felt the condition of this course is worth writing one. First, in full disclosure, I only played 9 holes while my wife shopped in Townsend. I wish I had read the reviews BEFORE I played because, as much as I hate shopping, I would have skipped playing this course. I’m no “golf snob” and enjoy playing all types of courses but this was an absolute waste of $43. I would have been even more ticked had I paid $86 for 18 as I’m playing championship level courses in Loudon and paying less!!!

The course has tremendous potential, but in reading older reviews, the conditions/maintenance aren’t a new problem. Weeds in all fairway's, bare tee box’s littered with broken tees and greens that appeared to have gone without being mown for at least 2-3 days.

Do yourself a favor, and avoid this course. I realize that’s a pretty harsh statement, and I don’t take writing this lightly.

This was hands down one of our favorite courses over many years. There was a recent storm, and they cleaned up beautifully. But…..over the last couple years, the green and fairway maintenance has gone down. We hope they figure out how to prep the course for the growth season ahead!!

Thoroughly enjoyed my round. The greens were in excellent condition. Tee boxes and fairways were what you expect just getting out of winter but not poor by any means.

I had a great round of golf even though we are still playing in winter conditions. I like the layout of the course.

They have done a great job on the interior of the clubhouse. The staff is friendly and helpful.The golf carts are well taken care of. The Greens and fairways were in great shape but could be better if people would fill their divots and repair their ball marks on the greens. I look forward to golfing here again.

Beautiful course in Smoky Mountains in the beautiful area of Townsend Tn. Take your clubs with you when visiting the area and enjoy a quick 9 or 18. Played 9 in 1 hour 12 mins.

We had a great time playing here. First time to the area and the staff was so helpful. The clubhouse was awesome with a great bar and balconies with amazing views. Course has a good layout with some challenging holes, but didn’t feel too difficult for high handicappers. Some of the greens and tee boxes could have been in better condition, but overall we loved it. Can’t beat the views and the value was excellent, especially compared to our home courses in the northeast.

This course has breathtaking views, a challenging layout , and friendly staff. I’ve played many fine courses and this one is now near the top of my favorite list. I’m looking forward to my next round.

I had a friend visit and we wanted to golf. I wanted to share the beauty of our Great Smoky Mountains with her as well. We had a fun game the course was well maintained and challenging. I will definitely go back.

The views from the course were amazing. Course in fairly good shape for October and lack of rain. And the green fees were reasonable compared to other courses. Absolutely beautiful.
