Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort

What an amazing course! Immaculate condition, fun, challenging and gorgeous.

So let me preface this review by saying, I've played a lot of golf courses and this by far had the most amazing views I've ever seen. I drove 3 hours to play here and passed by many other courses that might have been cheaper, but this was by far worth the time and effort to get to.

-Somehow, the pace of play was impeccable. I normally play as a single and I got paired with a twosome and one of the other players was new to the game and he was still able to keep up with the group in front of us. I also never felt pressured by the group behind us. That was really nice.

-The course conditions are really amazing considering the winter most of NC and SC have had. I feel like in a .month or two the course will be really nice and green. The sand traps were some of the best maintained I've played out of.

-Take the time to enjoy the views. Especially on 18 and the 15th.

-The Staff also was extremely helpful. When I pulled up for my tee time, they informed me that the clubhouse had had a water leak and might end up closing operations until they could get it fixed. Luckily, they only delayed my time by a few minutes and were helpful. Due to this, I couldn't really get a gauge of the food offerings but it seemed like the standard fare.

-This is a harder course than it looks. Even though the distances might be shorter on the card, if you can't shape your tee shot on some of the Par 4's especially you're either gonna be out of position or lose your ball.

This course is really hard with forced carries and tricky greens need to play a few times to appreciate it.

Great course. Fantastic views and challenging holes. My ONLY COMPLAINT is that booked on Golfnow and there was no mention of greens being aerated a week before I played. Also, no discount on price. Very sad to drive two hours to play course and be told about greens. Even with all that, I highly recommend playing this course. Numerous elevation changes and great views of Smokey Mountains.

Greens were airrated but love playing it. Steep n tough course but I love a challenge.

Sequoyah Nat'l was in excellent shape on 2-1-22. The fairways are dormant grass, but the ball sits up on top and makes it very playable. Greens we're decent too. Excellent value on GN.com, even though there was a very slow 4-some in front of me. It really helped that it was sunny and 57 degrees w/ very little wind. Really a fun day!

Course was in great shape for the middle of December. If only it was as affordable during the summer months, I’d play there all the time.

Played on a Wednesday midday after a freeze delay. Sun was out and it warmed up nicely. No one in front of us. Played in under 3 hrs only because we had to look for a few lost balls.

Beautiful golf course with breathtaking views. Took many pictures and videos of the course and mountain views. The tee boxes and fairways were prefect. The greens were fast which is the way I like them. You can keep your driver in your bag. Many dog legs and downhill holes. A lot of blind green shots. The course is very challenging if you are not familiar with the lay out. The course is not that difficult and requires a lot of layups. If you try to over power the course you are in for a long day. The course is shorter than the indicated yardage because many holes are down hill . I will play again .

First time to play the course since renovating...Course in great shape...Headed paying $25 for extra non golf rider..

Need a ranger to move folks along and get rid of the 5 player group a few groups ahead of us...Need a ranger

As mentioned in other reviews the driving range is irons only so no warmup with driver prior to tee off. Thankfully I made great contact and put the first tee shot in the fairway. There is a small chipping and putting green near the clubhouse. Also a nice putting green near the first tee.

Fairways were all in excellent condition and were nice to hit off. Greens were in great condition except for ball marks some players decided not to repair. Greens rolled true and had some challenging slopes on them.

The other players I was to be paired with did not show up so I joined a foursome for the first 2 holes. On the 3rd hole we were greeted by the Starter and I was told they do not allow more than 4 players per group so I would have to play by myself even though there were no players in front or behind us. We were easily keeping up the pace of play.

One of the carts in the foursome I was playing with broke down so they let me play through. A few holes later I caught up with a group. After waiting on them a few holes I the joined the threesome. The rest of the round was enjoyable and helpful after joining them since one of the players was a regular.

Front nine was a little more difficult than the back. Pace of play was good with 4 players but would have been a pain playing as a single on a course I had never played before. Ended up shooting 44 on the front with all the problems. Shot 36 on the back with 3 birdies including one of them on the last hole!

Just for reference I was playing the silver tees. Longer hitters may want to move back for more of a challenge. The silver tees were just right for my game. Round took 4 hours 5 minutes. Would play again if I'm in the area.
