Ruined Greens

When I played in late July the greens had been ruined by careless course management. It's a fun course through the hills though it is way overpriced. When I played it in the past I enjoyed it though. Hope the conditions are fixed for 2013.

Great views, lousy pace.

The golf course sits on the edge of Great Smokey Mountain National Park, so the scenery was spectacular. I hit the course right after maintenance, but the greens putted reasonably well. Built into the mountains, it's mostly a target golf course, and be ready for uneven lies.

The only negative was the pace of play. Slow, slow, slow.

Nice views but that is it...

Views are what makes this golf course. Course has plenty of tee boxes to play from for players of any skill level. Some tight holes out there however the real challenge is 'knowing' the course due to elevation changes and blind shots. Overall condition of course was poor, especially the greens. A number of them had splotcy bare spots exposing dirt. To make matters worse they were slow and bumpy.
Play moved along ok however I played in the afternoon on a weekday so course wasn't very busy. Staff seemed somewhat indifferent. Can only hit medium to short irons off driving range mats. Pro shop had minimal supplies and was not in best of shape either.
Finished about 5 p.m. and everything had been locked up...no access to a bathroom even. Definitely do not cater to the customer.
If this is a top rated course in the state then I really don't have a desire to play others rated lower than this one.
Again, if you are after views this course provides all you need. Would recommend looking for another course to play.

Bring your A-game

The course is a great test of golf. If you’re not a straight hitter you’re in for a long day.
This is true Mountain golf, up and down on every hole except some of the par 3’s.
You can get a good deal on golf now, the rates if you walk on are a little
Steep. Plus be ready for about a five hour round, it’s tough and quite a few of
The holes you have to walk to your ball. I would play it again just to hit shots from 200 feet above the fairway, the ball seems to be in the air for ever.

Scenic and challenging

The course has impressive scenic views from every tee box. Challenging length but not unreasonable. It also offers a good challenge for shot making and accuracy. We wanted to play twice during our vacation so I went out on a limb and scheduled both tee times sight unseen. We were well pleased! The greens and bunkers were in excellent condition. For the most part the fairways were good also. We will play this course again on any return trips to this area. Bring extra golf balls. If you do hit an errant shot then you have just donated to the course but then this is mountain golf. The few donations that we did make were a small price to pay to have the priveledge to witness such natural beauty!
Awesome!

Golf course had great variety. The bent grass greens were almost perfect. A true mountian course.

Sequoyah National is a very good golf course. This is a true mountain course. The bent greens were almost perfect. Will definitely visit again when there is more daylight so we can get in 36.

Amazing course, super friendly and helpfull stuff

All I can say is WOW. This is just a jewel of a Golf Course. Absolutely amazing and if you are in the area, play it, play it twice. We did play 2 rounds. The greens where not the absolut best (7 out of 10) but this course has everything. Views, nature, up and down, distance, difficulty and lots of beauty!

All Par 5 are easily reachable from the Tips but require great club selection.

The staff is absolutely great, friendly, helpful and we will be back as soon as possible.

Nice mowed fairways, Elevated fast greens, This course has it all.

Sequoyah National

Course was in pretty rough shape. Several greens were very bad. Course is challenging with many risk reward tee shots! Views made up for the poor conditions. Will definitely play again. The two guys we played with booked on another site, and paid significantly less than we did, so check around before booking on golf now.

Very pretty views, but not quality mountain golf, especially in it's current condition

This is certainly NOT 9th best course in NC, (or the 19th).
The property is much too hilly for enjoyable golf, even for a single digit handicap golfer.
The greens were a disgrace, but much of that could be the drought. Even though I asked the staff about conditions before booking a tee time, I was very disappointed with what I found.
A side note, after finishing playing around 4:30 PM in
mid August, I was very surprised to hear the staff refuse to allow a twosome that had driven 50+ miles & wanted to tee off at 5 to play, saying "We close at 5".

Needs some tlc.

The course layout and views were fantastic! But, the course needs some attention. The recent aeration didnt help either. Dissapointed overall...thanks to golf now I got a great deal or I would have been upset,
