Wild Laurel Golf Course

We felt the hot deal value was over priced for the value of the course and course conditions. Tee boxes and fairways in rought condition, greens were fairly good overall.

The fairways, sand traps and most tee boxes are in poor condition. Greens are small but in good condition.

I think Laurel Valley is about as nice of a course as you will get for the money. Beautiful.

Fairways were very dry and the ball ran quite a bit. Greens were in good shape but fairly slow.overall a good value for the money.definitely a course that you play more you should score real well on. Only a couple of real challenging holes. A very short course even from the back tees. I am curious to know what the course record is? Probably pretty low.

The course is in the best condition I have seen it in a long time.Greens were in great shape and the fairways are coming in nicely.A good thing to see is crews working on fairways and greens.

Have loved this course for many years, but with no rain and austerity programs in place, the course was not in good condition!

Only problem was the knats or bugs that surrounds the course. Staff tried to assist in getting some relief however, bug spray or off did not get rid of these swarming black flies or bugs.

Nice Course, ranger needs to keep groups moving better. Some blind holes from the fairways.

A nice experience with a scenic view. Nice challenge, but not too hard. Course marked so first timers could find their way easily. Fairways are firm, greens are receptive and well kept. Great value on a budget. Would recommend course.

First time playing golf here,
Fairways need a lot of work lots of spots with hard pan and no grass, lots of spots with crab grass. Instead of turf
Greens were well maintained but slow compared to others in area
Next will probably play other courses in area as they are better maintained.

Loved the scenic beauty of the of the Smokies surrounding the course. The course was forgiving yet challenging. The greens were receptive to long approach shots, while the fairways were a bit dry do to the lack of rain. I would definitely play the course again.

My wife and I played this course and came away wishing that we had not made to drive to do so.

The course has no driving range inspite of being in the middle of nowhere. It also doesn't have a real practice green or sand trap. It is a "hit it in the nets" to loosen up course. If I had realized that, we never would have made the drive.

This course is in an amazingly beautiful valley . . . but the fairways and tee boxes are not well maintained.

The Greens are great, but it is clear that this club is struggling finacially.

The course needs watering and T.L.C.

For example, it was almost impossible to stick a golf tee into the ground on many of the tee boxes becuase they were as hard as rock.

Far too many of the fairways were bone dry fast go cart tracks. With water, they could be so great. Speaking of water, there are no water jugs on the course and many of the ball washers are broken.

If you live in the area and want to save money, this is the course for you.

If you take your golf seriously, spend more and go to a course that is better maintained and has proper warmup and practice facilities.

I want to fall in love with this course. It has so much darn potential. I hope that someone will pump money into this course and spruce it up.

It could be such an amazing course . . .

I like the course but it needs irrigation and fertlizer .The greens where in great shape.The fairways where like hitting off of pavement.

Laurel Valley golf course is nestled in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. This is a great course to play for those visiting the area. The views are incredible, the staff is friendly, and the course is enoyable to play.

Greens were in good shape however fairways were not. Hopefully once it gets warmer the course will be better. The layout is great.

The course was wet/muddy . can't wait to play it again this summer when it's dry. Do wish the bar had been open the view from club house was so peaceful.

I played Laurel Valley with my 15 year old daughter and the course was fun for both. I was pleased with the overall condition of the course for late November. $38 total for the 2 of us through Golfnow made it an incredible value!!!

Great course with various elevations. Some forced carries and bunkers. The course is in good shape. Don't know what will happen to it. Was up for auction the day after I played. Will play again, if new owners keep it up.
The sign at the entrance does not lie. There were bear droppings on some of the fairways.
If your ball goes into the rough, you might want to just drop another.

this course has been a favorite of ours for many years spring and fall are the most enjoyable always in pristine condition many slope changes right and left turns to navigate premiums on placements very sorry to here course to be auctioned on November 1st 2014 a must play before gone

Great course, good value and a good challenge for all golfers. For first timers, you will have to see how each hole is layed out, where to hit, where the hazzards are if any, since the score card does not provide a course layout for each hole.
