Laurel valley

Fun layout. Accuracy over length on tee shots. Greens held really well and putted true. There's no range (not really room for one). Staff was friendly. Overall good experience.

Great views and relaxed environment

Greens were in real good condition, fairways are in good condition but with different kinds of grass.
If you are straight hitter it is wide open course with great layout. It is quite relaxing to enjoy beautiful views of mountains.

A Hidden Gem!

Wow! This course is set in a valley surrounded by mountain views and wide prairie landscapes. It has it all elevated drops, narrow fairways on some holes, water and sand placed precisely to challenge your game and test your accuracy. Hole one is a par five that will require a postional tee shot in order to have any chance at saving the hole. Every hole has sometime to contend with that will challenge the skill of every level. You will certainly be impressed by the course layout.

Really enjoyable course

Played from the blues, the course plays challenging from the blues, fairways are narrow. This wouldn't affect you if you are playing the whites not needing longer drives. The course condition was really quite good. The desk person said that they are caring for the course better this year, might be because they are trying to sell the place. All and all, I enjoyed this course, we would come back in a heartbeat, being in the area and at Golfnow prices. One thing that was a little problem was finding the place. When you see the sign for 1.7 miles to the course, I don't think the sign correctly directed you to turn. We went 1.7 miles further and didn't see the course, we went a couple miles further then backtracked to the sign. The sign from the other direction did say to turn and we were OK after that. Good thing we were early and made our tee time.

Laurel Valley Improving

I have played this course for years and seen it neglected in the recent past. The course was in the best shape that I have seen in probably 2-3 years and greatly improved from this time a year ago. The greens have recovered and are in good shape, the sand traps are being maintained again, and some grass is finally growing in the fairways again. The course still needs work but if the ownership continues to try to take care of the course I think it could be in great shape in another year or so. I don't care about restaurants and bars and would love to see all of the resources applied to maintaining the course. About the only thing the 19th hole is good for is over priced drinks but has a fantastic view. Daniel, Micah, Pat, and most all the guys that work in the shop and the course are great.

Laurel Valley is in a beautiful setting and it is good to see the course making a comeback.

One of the other reviewers mentioned the homeowners. The homeowners own no interest and have absolutely no control over the golf course.

Don't over think it...

This is a relatively straight, flat course for this region. A few of the par 5's are reachable in 2, so just step up and swing.

kids on the course

I was not happy about the group ahead of us. They had 2 small children not old enough to play golf running around the course and playing on the greens. We dont need this on the golf course.

The course was challenging

Enjoyed the course. Scored well. The drive to the course from Pigeon Forge was not the best. Very curvy blind spots. Nice carts. Would play again if in the area.

Nice blind hole on tee 1 and the greens were in great shape.

Fairways did not have much grass in them but other than that it was a pretty nice course.

scenic course

Beautiful drive to get there. Golf in nature. Few houses on the course and these houses are not really coming into play. Sand traps will need a bit of work. Maintenance people were very friendly. Views are spectacular.

A Day at Laurel Valley

I've played here before and was looking forward to returning. I got a great deal through GolfNow, which made it even better. Unfortunately we got behind a group of eight, many of whom appeared to have never played before. The round was 5 hours and we waited on every shot. Overall the course was in bad need of rain, with many of the fairways brown and cut very short. You almost looked forward to being in the rough because you could at least get a club under your ball. We did see the beverage cart often, which was a plus.
Laurel Valley is a great course. I just hit it at a bad time.

Fred and the boys

They need to keep this course and all facilities open . A great mountain course should not be far sale. What about the home owners.
