Great s scenery on a good layout

Wonderful little charm tucked into a very scenic valley. The course is well laid out with ample landing areas for your tee shot. The course is well maintained. There were some minor issues with the greens due to the excessive rain this year, but the pin placements took many out of play. Enjoyable course, would play again.

Laurel Valley

The fairways are in as good a shape as I've seen, and I've been playing LV for quite a few years. Was really disappointed in the greens. The bare spots were frequent and in several places, dominated the green. I would've chosen hole locations further from the dead spots.

A Diamond In The Rough Next To The Smoky Mts.

This is not a course that you want to walk. It is located near Townsend TN and is in the foothills to the Smokey Mts. After 10AM is best tee times because of the early morning fog. The clubhouse was renovated two years ago. Ground was very soft the day I played because of rainfall the past 18 days. You could not play most courses with that much rain, but it was in great condition considering the rain.

Great Value and Super friendly staff...bring the family to enjoy the pool while you golf!

I've played this course quite a few times and I'm never disappointed in the conditions or pace of play. The greens are sticky and roll true. We checked in and were given a 3rd card to tote around 2 wives watching. We had a first timer in the group (my 13 year old cousin) and was given 12 balls that they regularly retrieve from the woods. Considering the amount of rain that we've been getting the course was still in fabulous shape. Come see the great views of the smokeys and keep your eyes out for Turkey running around. Thanks guys!

Course in poor condition

I read other reviews and seen that this was a Country Club and Resort course and thought I would give it a try. Although the staff was very friendly and the course had several nice views I would not recommend this course. The fairways were chewed up and the ruff was filled with crab grass and clover. There were lots of blind shots and that is OK if you like to poke and hope. We found the layout to be poor at best. In all honesty, my back yard is in better shape. You could do better for your money at other area courses.

Outstanding value with excellent scenic.vistas!

The course was an excellent value. Has some of the most beautiful scenery in this region. Two greens on the back nine were in trouble from scalding and need repair. Restaurant fare and staff is excellent and very friendly. We were surprised that the course was as I crowded as it was for a Saturday afternoon. We will definitely return for more golf.

Beautiful course in the mountains!

First off, amazing views! This course has features in elevation differences. Every hole has its own feature. Not a dull moment at this course. Very playable, young or old in age. This 18-hole, par 70 course has it all. With roughly about 6,000 yards of play. And it also has a fitness center and pool area, as well as a restaurant. Which features great food and great staff. A must-see for all! Worth every penny. Highly recommended to everybody.

Beautiful course & scenery

Very fun and beautiful course. Has a pool and fitness center for the family to use while we played. Full service bar was well stocked and staff was very friendly. Also stayed for dinner at the end of the round. Highly recommend playing this course while in the Smokies and also recommend staying in one their cabins on the property.
