Great Course, Great views!

Amazing views and the most elevation change in a golf course i have seen. Great layout and a wonderful round of golf, they have done a lot of work the last two year making the course more playable. The tall grass has been mowed and finding stray balls is easy. I would reccomend this course for a memorable round of golf. By far one of the most scenic courses I have played. The tees were in average condition, the fairways in good condition and the greens were very slow, (rolled fine and played good, just very slow for a course this nice). A challenging but fair course, played 36 and finished the first round in 3 hours and the second in 4 and a half.

Enjoyable Course

This is the 2nd time that my son & I have played Sequoyah National. The pace of play is as it should be, the course is challenging & there are spectacular views. We will definitely play this course again on our next trip to the area.

Bring your A game!

Scenic views everywhere but don't let them distract you from your goal; to play a good round of golf. Pay close attention to the GPS in the carts and play strategic golf around this course and you can score.

Great Value ........ Great Views

We golfed this course on a Saturday afternoon. It was a great experience from the first to last tee. You have to hit straight and play to the 150 markers, so club selection key. The cement cart paths and GPS really helped keep the pace up and to handle on this elevation . This is one of the nicest courses I have ever played and the Starter Chris helped explain the layout and history behind the course. Well manicured fairway, Hilton Head quality sand and great view of the Smokies. Only draw back 11 hour drive from Canada, so won,t be replaying until next year

Best condition I've seen the course

Very slow, over 5 hours on a Thur. no rangers. Greens the best and truest I've seen here in 4 years, not real fast but good shape.

Not for the faint of heart...

Great course although very hilly and long walks between cart and ball. Greens a little slow because they just airiated.

Great Views

This course has a very interesting design. Lot's of elevation changes which means club selection takes some real thought. Greens were in good condition, fairways were okay, but a few tee boxes were very rough.

You can't beat the fantastic views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

This is a great place to play while visiting the area. Very friendly tees for seniors, women, and beginners.

Great mountain course

Played 4 holes alone and caught 3some, invited to play along. Offered great local knowledge. As picturesque as you will play in this area. Course recovering from recent aeration but still better than most that are in good shape. Par 3's are a test. Great risk/reward holes. I will be back and it's 2.5 hours from me.

Extremely senic sequoyah

This may be one of the most senic courses I have ever played. There are several holes that have 360 degree views of the surrounding area of Cherokee NC. Though the round was extemely slow, probably due to the number of people playing and the difficulty of the course, I would like to return for another round at this track! Our group played the tips but I would only recommend that for players with handicaps in the low single digits. From back there we played one 245 yd and 215 yd. par threes. The greens were quite slow and would like to see them more consistant and speedy. Overall fun and challenging even for handicappers.

True Gem

I loved this course. Even though the conditions aren't ideal, the greens were in excellent shape and the fairways were more than acceptable. I will definitely return at a different time of the year to enjoy.

Gorgeous Views & Great Staff

My husband and I went to Cherokee for a fun night at the casino and decided to play a round of golf the next day. This course is fabulous and the views are breathtaking. Greens were rolling smooth and fast and the staff members were extremely friendly. I would recommend this course to anyone.

Fantastic Views

Sequoyah Nat'l has a fantastic layout, that has no doubt, the best views of the Smoky Mtns from any course in Western NC. All the traps have consistant, white sand, but the fairways are very generous. This is a tough course because of all the elevation changes, and you rarely have a flat stance; but it is a great value, with hole after hole that are so beautiful. I can't wait to play it when its all greened up....wow, what a course! Go to the course website-they have a good "fly over" feature, plus the GPS in the cart is pretty helpful.

Tricky fairways with many slopes, undulating greens.

The course was in great condition considering recent weather in the area. The fairways have few level playing areas, but are fair. The greens are approachable but have several undulating rolls. Many, many sand traps with great white sand and perfectly maintained. Overall course was very clean for late November play!

Good layout, even better views

I'm a Turf & Golf Course Management student at North Georgia Technical College so I obviously paid extra attention to the course conditions as well as the layout. The course was extremely challenging yet fair and fun. As far as the conditions of the course I'd give it a 6 out of 10. Only reason I say that is the fescue rough needed to be reseeded. The tee boxes were great. The bentgrass greens were scraggly but rolled true. A couple of dead spots on the greens were they may have lost grass due to diseases or lack of irrigation on dried out, windy days. I believe the fairways were bluegrass and overall were pretty good but they were about an inch high and haven't been cut in a few days. I really enjoyed the course and I can certainly side with the superintendent. I imagine the superintendent is just a good budget away from having this course be one of the best in the western North Carolina region. I will definitely play this course again when I bring my father.

Nice Views

Tee boxes in bad shape, some greens needed work, parts of fairways needed some work...hole #2 was completely closed...great views though....worth $35 but i wouldn't pay more until they fixed up the tee boxes and greens. need to play target golf...hit it straight and you'll be fine :)
