Difficult, fair, and beautiful

I live in East Tennessee and have played most courses in the east Tennessee and western North Carolina. This is easily my favorite course in the area. The greens are fast and true. There's an advantage to playing here more than once as there are certain spots on the fairway that you want to hit, and spots to avoid. Beautiful doesn't begin to describe the scenery. Majestic would be a better word. I will be back, often!

Could be much better

Pace of play extremely slow. They don't have enough carts. 30 min. delay on tee off time because of the shortage of carts. The carts need to be updated. GPS system works some of cart.

They should build a better club house with better pro-shop, dining area and restrooms with at least two shower room. Their parking lot is so small.

Beautiful course

Great course, challenging. If you are a below average player, bring extra balls, but come anyway. Wonderful sites and fun golf.

Perfect Fairways and Good Greens

As I knew before playing, this course requires accuracy not distance. Fairways were like carpet but bent grass greens a little beat up due to players not repairing their ball marks. Greens could be unputtable due to the severe slopes in them; but green speeds at only around 8 helped. I hit hybrid off all par 4s and 5s accept two holes and this was from the “tips”. The elevation change helps to make this course shorter than the card yardage from the back tees. Definitely will be back again next year.

Awesome course with beautiful views.

Beautiful purse with awesome views. Starter was awesome and a great help as it was foggy and could not see where to hit the ball. The pro shop staff was not as friendly, but the course and starter made up for that.

A lot of fun

This was great. The course is in phenomenal shape and the layout is mountain golf at its finest. Signature hole is a 200ft drop in elevation from tee to green. Super cool. Green we’re clean and fast. Fairways were in good shape and so we’re the tee boxes. The only real course issue was #16 par 3 was soppy wet but it is in one of the lowest parts of the course behind the mountain. The only other “issue” was bugs. There were gnats everywhere. I’d totally deal with them though. If I’m being picky the driving range distance wasn’t great and the snack bar was average. What matters is that the course was fantastic. Super enjoyable, fun, hard course, will be back.

Amazing Layout Views Warm inviting Staff

Fairways/Bunkers/Tee boxes all in amazing shape. Layout and picturesque views are second to none. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating and they had several cart girls selling food and beverages every couple of holes. Greens seemed to have been punched recently so they were a little bumpy but overall still in pretty good shape. Overall biggest issue is always pace of play is extremely slow. A lot of1/2 somes that could be paired together all playing seperate groups and everybody waiting. We paid $125 a man and i would definitely come back next time we are in the area. Super fun layout always enjoy playing here!

just go play it.

18 panoramic holes. fairways were outstanding but greens were slow. only drawback for me would be beneficial if handicap flags were allowed due to multiple greens where they would have been very appreciative. will definitely will if in area again.

Some problems

The greens had been aeriated a week earlier so they were still recovering. We new that ahead of time They were in the process of aerating the fairways but we only ran into one that was being worked on so not bad. I guess they don’t have enough maintenance staff to do fairways and prepare the bunkers for the days play because none of the bunkers had been raked. The GPS unit in our two carts never worked regardless of trying to turn the cart off and on or unplugging the unit and then plugging it back in. Brakes on the carts would not hold on some of the steeper parking areas.

If Sequoyah is going to keep increasing green fees then they should also make sure the paying golfers get better amenities to go along with the increased rates.

The layout is truly amazing so I still recommend playing this course.
