Wild Laurel Golf Course

I enjoyed the course. Great value for the money.

Pros:

The layout is very interesting with some great views.

The staff is friendly.

Greens are OK but could be a bit better. The are soft and receptive to spin.

Cons:

Tee boxes need to be cut

Course under repair in areas

Gopher on #10 green

No yardage markers on tee boxes on par 3's.

The cons were not major except for the gopher. Had a great time and will be back the next time I'm in Townsend.

Great course. Really enjoy playing when we visit Pigeon Forge

This course is tucked next to the Laurel Valley Reserve in the Great Smokey Mountains. The layout highlights the beauty of the area, which is surrounded by mountains and trees. The fairways were OK and the greens were well maintained. Only real negative comment was lack of water on the course. It was 90 degrees and no water in the water stations, plus no refreshment cart. Staff needs to be aware of the safety of players on the course.

I played this course twice in one week. The first time the club house staff was less than pleasant, however the guy working there the second time was much friendlier.

The fairways are in average condition so don't expect a lot of roll. The greens however are in tip top shape and roll extremely quick.

Lots of nice views of the mountains.

The course has its challenges being tucked away in the mountains. Lots of dog legs and up/down hills to work with. I took notes the first time I played about club selection and how the holes played. It took 8 strokes off the next time I played!

No water on the course so take a few bottles with you.

The greens were in an excellent shape, the back tee boxes were not cut, but was still somewhat playable. The forward tee boxes were cut to accommodate play. The course design was very interesting and fun. Evaluation changes in the tee boxes / tee shots and hitting into the greens kept your attention. Suggest you bring a GPS to assist in yardages throughout the course. Some blind shots into the greens, but that is expected with a mountain resort layout. My favorite hole was the number 10 par three. The restaurant has been closed for two years along with the bar for an after round beverage. The Pro Shop does have the ability to sell beverages to enjoy from the deck / patio. It was a fun round / afternoon along with the ability to view the mountain scape throughout the course.

Course is in really good shape, greens are fast. Also staff sent me out on the back nine because of the number of foursomes ahead and me being a single. This allowed me to get to the front nine and finished the whole 18 in about 3 hours.

Booked the tee time thru Golf Now. The staff was very courteous and friendly. The course provides challenges to all levels of golfers. Great value for the money. It will be on our list of golf outings the next time we are in the area. Thanks!

Great course in the mountains!

Actual other than a couple of holes very good layout. Beautiful setting between the valley and the mountains with deer and turkey sharing the course.Fairways were rough and needed cutting. Rough areas have been allowed grow up making it difficult to fine your ball. Greens were good. Fun layout but you have control your golf ball. This could be a great course!

The 3 of us had 11:00 am got there 30 min. early and they let us right out. At first no one in front of use we played very fast for 4 holes, then we got backed up ended with a 4:30 min round. 4 day before we played in 3:20 they need to have a ranger when they have more play.

A quirky little course, but I enjoyed the layout. They just need more grass in fairways and rough. Too many dead areas to get 4 stars. The greens were excellent, and bunkers were fine.

I had seen this course pop up on several searches and decided to give it a try. Course wise, the greens were awesome and true. There were some tee boxes that were a little rough and a few of the fairways needed mowed/weed control. These really were minor concerns though. The layout from the white tees wasn't especially long but lots of holes where you have to think instead of grip and rip.

The staff was EXCELLENT. They were the friendliest I have encountered in a long time from the pro shop to the rangers to the cart girls. Add in the views of the mountains and it was a very relaxing, enjoyable round. I would strongly recommend this course to anyone.

I played twice during vacation at Smoky Mountain. Course layout was mediocre. However green condition was impeccable. Scenery around the course was beautiful. Course maintenance was outstanding. Excellent for the money. Thank you to Maintenance crews at the course and GolfNow.

I really enjoyed playing this course. The course was in good shape , the greens were excellent and held your approach shot. This is a compact course that is fun to play and the surrounding scenery makes your round even more enjoyable

Really enjoyed the views. Well kept greens. Fun experience

The course is in fair shape not a lot of grass in fairways and the greens were bumpy. It is a very pretty course and using Hot Deals it a great bang for the buck.

HAVE PLAYED HERE MANY TIMES AND HAVE NOT SEEN THE COURSE IN THIS SHAPE BADLY IN NEED OF MOWING BOTH GREENS AND FAIRWAYS MAY BE DUE TO WET CONDITIONS AS COURSE TENDS TO STAY WET NO FAIRWAY GRASS JUST MUD OR GRASS OR CLUMPS HATE TO BE HARD BUT THE COURSE IS BETTER THAN THIS BUDDY PAID 35.00 BUCKS OUCH THNAKS GOLFNOW FOR SAVING ME

The course overall was great for early spring. I would definitely play here again

Good value. Friendly. Great views and variety

Fairway & rough maintenance needed; blind shots and very crowned greens make it hard for the first timer.
