Wonderful Mountain Course

This was one of the very best mountain golf course. The views are spectacular. The course layout was very challenging with extreme downhill and uphill holes. At some holes you tee off from a very high point to a fairway far below. Very beautiful hole layouts. Green in very good condition although had been aerated a few weeks before we played. Fairways in very good condition and some were narrow. Did not see a restroom on the course and the front nine does not return to the clubhouse. The panoramic views are spectacular. . I would highly recommend the course and it is a must play if you’re not afraid of high elevations.

Pleasantly surprised

I was pleasantly surprised at the good condition of the course this early in the season. The staff including the grounds crew were very kind. We’ll certainly be back.

Need Marshals and support help

Gorgeous layout. Greens were aerated but only paid $45 for golf, cart and range balls. Great deal. Would have paid triple that if the greens weren't punched. Obviously the course is understaffed. Ran out of range balls but nobody to pick them up. Pace of play was absurd. Group in front of us were two holes behind and would not let us through. Need a ranger to dictate pace of play. Didn't get in my 18 holes due to golfers with lousy course etiquette.

Great Course, amazing elevation changes

The only criticisms were the fairway grass was just starting to grow and the greens had just been aerated.. The course should discount the green fees for the aeration.

Great Track

When I came to play I expected a fun simple and beautiful. I got a fun complex and beautiful I thought it would be too short and easy but it ended up being perfect forcing you to play your full bag and get creative. Greens weren’t in the best shape but still good. Just a warning though the greens are ridiculous to putt on with there being 2, 3 and even 4 different levels with some holes being cut right on the edge of tiers

Sequoyah National WNC

I have played Sequoyah National every year since it opened and it keeps getting better and better! Home number 12 was closed for repair or I would have given the course five stars in this review. It will be repaired soon and will be five stars once again. The staff is super friendly and helpful as always and the course has a very challenging layout but is meticulously maintained throughout. The pace of play flowed smoothly throughout the day and we had a blast. The current management group is doing an excellent job. As a member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee I’m very proud of our asset and the team taking care of it. Looking forward to coming back soon! Keep up the great work!

Incredible views

Course was amazing. The views were absolutely incredible. Course is very challenging and punishes you for bad shots. Only complaint I had was some of the pin placements. But overall it’s a must play course in the area.

Every hole is signature hole

The course is absolutely stunning. The view from each hole can easily be a signature hole on other courses. The foliage on mountains added beauty to the course.

The fairways and greens were free of fallen leaves, which is amazing at this time of the year considering the course is surrounded by millions of trees.

Even though the pace was slow and it took us more than 5 hours to play, I would definitely play here again.

The clubhouse is a no frill clubhouse. The food was cheap.

A MUST PLAY!

If you get a chance— Play this course. Getting from tee to green or green to tee is like the first part of the HULK roller coaster ride at Universal in Florida. The greens are in excellent condition and fast. There are NO flat lies anywhere but except when you tee up your ball. The views are UNBELIEVABLE! The employees are kind and polite. BUT the course beat me up. Some difficult shots, but fun!

Solid 4 Star Track

Played in late September 2022. Weather was perfect. The facilities here are basically bare bones stuff. They have a small building that houses the pro shop, cashier and a very small grill (hot dogs, burgers and a few simple cold cut type sandwiches). Don't plan on a nice lunch or breakfast. Eat before, after or bring your own food. Employees are very helpful and accommodating. The range is small with those rock hard yellow balls we all love and cherish. The course is absolutely beautiful with each hole looking like a post card. Great diversity in holes with short and long par 4's. All of the par 3's are close to 200 yards or better but many are downhill. The par 5's are all a great test of golf. The bent greens are slick and very undulating. Downhill putts with front pins will likely result in a chip for your next shot. Great experience . Make sure you have a camera/phone. The scenery is outstanding.
