Nice view, but that’s about it.

Fairways were awful. Layout was wonky. I Hit drives in the middle of the fairway and there’d be no grass there. Without seed this will not get better by late spring/summer. Same way around the greens, though the greens themselves were decent. Probably won’t be back. There are much better courses in the area for less money.

Beautiful day for golf. Fairways were wet after a lot of rain but playable. Greens were slow but rolled well. Clubhouse had great sandwiches and adult beverages which included craft beer! Very enjoyable day at Wild Laurel!

Good, but...

Greens are in the best shape in years, course is going through major improvements and will continue to get better. But..they started us off the back, then just as we were finishing the back nine, we came to the turn and they were starting some people off the front, slowed play tremendously. Front or back, take a pick, can’t go both.

After fog lifted beautiful day for golf. Temperature in low fifties. Course was wet but all golf courses are wet in January. Staff was doing a lot of work on course today including putting new sand in the bunkers. Greens were rolling well. A great January day for golf.

Nice Day for golf in January. Course is making a lot of improvements. New hole signs, landscaping, etc. Greens are improving and rolling well. Just a great winter day in the mountains playing golf. Nineteenth hole was great also looking at the mountains while enjoying a sandwich and refreshments! Thank you Wild Laurel for providing your guests with a great experience! .

Course was in pretty poor shape although it had just rained the day prior. No practice range which was a bit disappointing. Staff was friendly and the course was wide open so I was able to get through a round in about 2.5 hours. Wouldn’t recommend unless you get a heavily discounted rate

Beautiful winter day in the mountains. Perfect day for golf with temperature in the fifties with no wind. Fairways were a little wet but very playable. Greens were rolling good. A very enjoyable day to play golf in January. After the round had a delicious sandwich with a brew overlooking the Smoky Mountains. Thank you Wild Laurel for your hospitality!

Course that Cares

I read great reviews about this course, so I decided to drive up to Townsend and check it out. It was a beautiful course tucked away in the mountains. The clubhouse and amenities were really nice. The guy at the front desk was very friendly and directed me to the tee boxes. It’s a mountain course so there are many elevation changes within the course, but the fairways were decently wide. What stood out to me were the little things that I could see the staff wanting to get right. There’s a fairly new and clean ball wash station at every hole with a nice sign and stone slab. Even the trash cans and bathrooms around the course were fresh and clean. You could tell the staff cares and is working to keep this a top notch course. There were a lot of leaves on the course which was frustrating, but a friendly grounds crew member said they were getting a heavy duty blower to take care of those next week. I can’t wait to come back in the spring and play again.

Beautiful Fall day in the mountains! Greens have improved a lot since the last time we played. The only complaint I have is that evidently a local group of guys that play there regularly that are slower than snails do not seem to know or don't care about letting faster players play through. Folks behind us stated they had played the day before and this group of Yahoos had golfers backed up all day. Overall though a very enjoyable day at a very scenic course!
