Wild Laurel Golf Course

My family has been visiting Townsend for over 10 years and I started playing Wild Laurel every trip with my daughter. I love the clubhouse, course layout, and the views are spectacular. Unfortunately the course maintenance is so poor that it is almost unplayable. The front 9 was bad, the back 9 is horrible. Losing balls that were hit in the middle of where a fairway should be because the grass is so overgrown. Putting is a complete crapshoot due to the conditions of the greens. Tee boxes that are being taken over by weeds. It is very disappointing what is happening to this beautiful layout, something needs to change or we will not be back.

You couldn’t find your ball in the middle of the fairway the grass hadn’t been cut in over a week. The greens are in terrible condition. I wouldn’t play this course again if you paid me. Terrible experience this place should be ashamed of the conditions. Everyone there was upset w. Called it after 9 holes.

Half of the tee boxes were all weeds or all sand. Many fairways were completely over grow leading to lost balls that should be on the “fairway”. There were about 7/8 great holes in decent condition spaced out across 18.

The course is really getting out of control, there are absolutely no fairways nothing but rough all thought out the course. The greens are in terrible shape. The tee boxes are awful nothing but sand and tall grass. It kinda seems like they fired their grounds keeping team. I was ready to quit after the 5th hole and go play somewhere else. I will not be back.

The staff were all very nice and helpful. The clubhouse/pro shop was very nice with a full bar and eat in style dinning area. It has a large pool area that several families were enjoying that afternoon. The course conditions were needing some work. The majority of the tee boxes were not mowed and several needed some seed laid. It is a tight course, you’re in the mountains it’s gonna happen, with several blind tee shots and the occasional blind approach. There is no driving range but they do have several hitting nets to warm up with and a small but functional putting green. Fun course but you better know where to hit.

None of the tee boxes were mowed. None of the fairways were mowed and mostly consisted of weeds and dirt patches. Haven’t played the course in 4 years and course was in same poor conditions as last time. Disappointing conditions were like this on a Saturday in the summer. Paid more money than what was booked on GolfNow. Pace of play was atrocious, 3 groups waiting to tee off on hole 6. Might be the last time I visit Wild Laurel unless dramatic renovations are done.

The course is in good condition considering the recent temperatures and lack of rainfall. The greens are so much better than they were a year ago.

No driving range. Tight fairways but a short course. Greens were in good shape but slow. They were also fairly small. Fairways were like playing in your own backyard but cut short like a fairway. Tee boxes seemed to be neglected. Clubhouse and staff were nice.

The layout is awesome. Greens in good shape. Fairways were not.

The course has gone downhill since I played it 2 years ago. Many tees are bare and the fairways and roughs sparse. Greens are holding up okay. There are some cheap rates on Golf now, but you get what you pay for. It’s too bad because the setting in the foothills is pretty and the layout is interesting. The staff is nuce too, but they need tohire some maintenance staff!

The greens were in great shape. The man in the pro shop was helpful, friendly and courteous. The bar looks great.

I look forward to golfing wild laurel again.

I've been playing this course for 20 years, it used to be called Laurel Valley, and is still one of my favorite courses around. The greens could use some love but still an amazing course to play.
