Golf for a King

I have played this golf course for several years. I have never seen the course in this condition ever. The fairways, greens and t boxes are in very good shape. Overall, the course is excellent. The newly rennovated clubhouse is beautiful. If you want to spend a day in the mountains, play a great golf course with a beautiful clubhouse Wild Laurel is the place

Gotta Love it

Living in flatland Indiana, I love these mountain courses with the hills and twists, and the beautiful backdrops. I was so disappointed when I came here 2 years ago and it was closed, and was glad to find out a new owner bought it and fixed it up again. I come down here every March, and this course is on our rotation. I havent met the new owners yet, but will this March. Looking forward to playing this course again.

Bang for the Buck

Booked for 4 players, only two showed, so NO problem with pace. Course was a little wet and soggy in places, but overall in good shape. Greens rolled very good. Great hot dogs and plenty of draft beer selections.

The course is much better today. Six weeks ago lost balls in the fairway, makes the fun to be low. Looks like with more mowers they are on the right track.

Enjoyable course

Try to play this course 4 or 5 times a year. Only because of the distance fron my home..is app.one hour travel. Appreciate the upgrades to the clubhouse and the positive attitudes of the staff.....the course is challenging but fair if you can keep it in the fairway........miss and yu will pay the price in deep rough..

Overall in decent shape but continued work needed to raise the fairways and greens to tiptop conditions..

Will definitely return....

Struggling to stay afloat

Have lived in the area for 24 years and heard about the course and it's pretty scenery. But the condition of the course didn't live up to expectations. Tees and fairways were very shaggy looking like it had been weeks since they had been mowed. Greens had been aerified quite sometime ago and were very soft and slow. Would not recommend for competitive golfers but for a couples day out my wife and I enjoyed the views.

Great Views

Clubhouse staff were great to work with and extremely friendly. The views on this course are magnificent and some of the best in the area. When I played it looked like the rough on the course had not been mowed in several days. You had to basically step on your ball to find it. Also, it seems like they have narrowed the fairways recently and the course was already a fairly tight course. The greens also had some black spots on them. Played the course last fall and the course was in better condition then. Improvements have been made to the clubhouse area and it is top of the line. The remodeled clubhouse is great.
