Given all the rain recently....

We played as a twosome on a Monday, which is typically when mowing, etc. Is done. Given all the rain in the area recently, the grounds crew was doing their best to take care of the MUCH NEEDED mowing while trying to stay out of the patrons' way. Their efforts deserve praise.

Since the last time I played here, some improvements have been made. Not the least of these is more clearly marking the holes.

Overall, the course is a good value for a mountain course that gets tourist play.

Saturday golf

Overall my experience here was a pleasant one The staff were all super friendly and seemed to be actually happy to have people there The course could use a little maintenance by think it was in the process of at that time. The layout was pretty good and the fact that it was in a very serene environment among the mountains was pretty nice.

Not worth the time.

This course used to be decent at best. It has gone so far downhill now that it's almost not worth playing. Tee boxes are horrible. Fairways look more like cow pastures. Pace of play is always horrible. Got behind a sixsome last time I played here. Don't wait your time!

Interesting, but needs work

The course layout is interesting and pretty challenging but the greens were overgrown and very slow. The fairways were a little sparse with grass in spots. I have no idea why it was cart path only because the fairways weren't worth protecting. Ok, but kind of a disappointment. I must admit the clubhouse staff were very friendly and the clubhouse is very spacious and comfortable. Too bad about the greens.

Needs work

I’ve played this course several times. I enjoy the layout. My biggest complaint is that the course was unkempt. Needed mowing all over. Greens were inconsistent with new growth slowing putts down dramatically. I realize the growing season is just beginning but the fairways had lots of tall tufts of grass that just needed mowing to improve playing conditions.

We found it

Getting to the course was an adventure.

Challenging course. Sand can definitely get in your way. Early in the season so the fairways and greens need work. They have some fun holes..

Didn't stay after the round so don't know about amenities.

Give it a try

Getting there was an adventure. The course has a fun layout. The condition was OK. But it should improve with warmer weather.

Needs some love

Fairways are really rugged. Not much grass to hit off of. Greens are shaping up. T boxes so so. I play there one or twice a week at least. Hoping it gets better. 🙏

Wild Laurel- is wild and friendly

The course is set in a very pretty valley with abundant wildlife virtually walking around you as you play- turkey , geese, etc. a nice layout but the course apparently does not have a sprinkler system and could use some fertilizer and grass seed as well as general repairs- our group is made up of high handicappers so the condition did not hurt our score. Employees were very friendly and accommodating.

I like playing this course.

The greens were in great condition. We are just getting out of winter golf. The ground is still too soft for taking divots but in a month the fairways should be perfect. I really like the layout of the course. I look forward to golfing here again.

Rough at the moment.

Downed trees from a wind storm on the course, sticks on the fairways from it. Missing grass spots on the greens, dirt fairways in places... Overall, I had fun. It's a pretty area and I got to see a couple of wild turkeys on one of the holes.

Good Bad and Ugly

Good- Beautiful views, nice course layout, adequate clubhouse. Sandtraps nice

Bad- Greens were decent if you overlook the dead spots and fungus.

Ugly- Fairways were sparse weedfilled couldn't tell where Fairways ended and rough began. Tee boxes were horrible, Unlevel turain sparse grass. This course looks to have been beautiful at one time and then left to poor management and little to non existing maintenance. Still was a better day than being at work.

Smoky Mountain View’s

I always love Wild Laurel.. such beautiful views while playing golf here. During this time of year after a brutal winter in Townsend the fairways cannot be judged but they’re keeping up the greens. Some things they can control and others they can’t. If you want to see this course in Al of its glory check it out in the summer. Beautiful! Wild laurel has always had a place in my heart. The beauty, the serenity, course layout, bar staff and the staff.

Underwhelming

I realize it’s February and courses in area are rough but I can’t imagine this course being “grown in” or manicured come warm season. Missing all types of grass in large numerous areas.
