Wild Laurel Golf Course

We had a great time playing here. First time to the area and the staff was so helpful. The clubhouse was awesome with a great bar and balconies with amazing views. Course has a good layout with some challenging holes, but didn’t feel too difficult for high handicappers. Some of the greens and tee boxes could have been in better condition, but overall we loved it. Can’t beat the views and the value was excellent, especially compared to our home courses in the northeast.

This course has breathtaking views, a challenging layout , and friendly staff. I’ve played many fine courses and this one is now near the top of my favorite list. I’m looking forward to my next round.

I had a friend visit and we wanted to golf. I wanted to share the beauty of our Great Smoky Mountains with her as well. We had a fun game the course was well maintained and challenging. I will definitely go back.

The views from the course were amazing. Course in fairly good shape for October and lack of rain. And the green fees were reasonable compared to other courses. Absolutely beautiful.

Golfed the Wild Laurel course back to back days recently. Fun yet challenging par 70 layout. Great for average golfers yet has a great mix of some narrow fairways and dogleg to keep you surprised and challenged. After you are done be sure to go in to the bar for a PB&J........refreshment. You'll thank me later.

Enjoyed the coarse, very challenging, in good shape

Great course, good people. Only my second time golfing so I couldn’t give a comparison to other courses. But everything seemed nice to me. Loved the views!

This was an amazing course. It's a beautiful mountain course with lots of wildlife. The course staff with superfriendly!

We booked our tee team on the site and once we got to the golf course they tried to tell us that we didn't have a tee time even when showing them the confirmation code they was still a little hesitant but did end up letting us play but all the employees was very rude and acted like they didn't want to help us at all the customer service there really needs some work and the course it's self wasn't in good shape and we are on vacation and it will be the first and last time of us visiting this course.

It’s only a par 70 but a fun course to play. Stay in the fairways or you will lose some balls in the high rough.

Gather 'round the fire folks, I have a story for you. Lets start with the "Good". The course was nearly empty and our group was pretty much allowed to go off 25 mins early because we were ready. We didn't have anyone behind us most of the morning, so the pace of play was pretty ideal. There was one guy at the pro shop checking us in and he was super nice, but it looked like the pro shop had an "everything must go" sale. There were literally 3 men's polos for sale. No towels, hats, ball markers, coozies, tee shirts... whatever you buy to commemorate your rounds at a new course, they didn't have it. Super weird.

Ok, lets get to the meat and potatoes, the actual course. I read the reviews posted about the course going about 2-3 months back from my planned visit and I was like.. ok, it's going to be very "buggy", the fairways are rough and the rough is rougher. Brother, no... We had bugs in our eyes, in our teeth, and in our ears. On one green we probably looked like we were having a dance party but we were just swatting at bugs. One of the par 3s on the back has a HUGE ground wasp nest, if you miss the green JUST LEAVE THE BALL, it's not worth it- there must have been 2000 ground wasps. I'm not dying today. The fairway 1st cut is SO long, you can physically watch your ball land in the fairway and lose it. If you get lucky enough to step on your ball in the fairway where you think it landed- you might find it, best of luck to you. I lost half a dozen balls THAT I WATCHED LAND in the fairway!!! If you land one in the rough/ long grass??? Just take a drop, you'll never find it, I promise. The greens were rolling like mashed potatoes on a water bed. Spongy and bumpy- and more than once we had to dig out our balls from the greens, and then fight the GIANT CRATER ball marks that our balls made. Except, not everyone repairs their ball marks, so it just looks like a cratered disaster even if you fix yours, you'll be putting through weeks worth of poorly repaired ball marks and weeds/ dead spots. The layout is a very mean PAR 5-3-5-3 to start, so I hope you like Par 5's cause you'll have 2 of them in the first 3 holes, made more fun by the fact that there isn't a driving range, so you'll be going in cold. They do have a hitting net near the entrance, it holds 2 people. There is also a small putting green, it holds 3 people, maybe. I saw a few reviews where people stated that they were so frustrated that they wanted to leave after 9 holes, and I assumed those folks were bad golfers. Then, I wanted to leave after 9 holes- decided to stick it out, and wound up having a fight with some friends of mine in my foursome, because we were agitated. So, this course may have actually cost me a friendship. I will never return. Ever. Ever.

Good course, not great. Needs practice range or repair to practice area netting. Grass a a tad high and greens need some TLC. Laid back atmosphere as one would expect in the Smokies.

Course was not in great shape. I lost balls in fairway due to mowed grass being so deep!! Golfers skipping holes & driving all out of order! Very slow pace due to mayhem!
