Maggie Valley Club and Resort

Pace of play very slow on back 9

Overbooked

Course is in great shape

From tees to greens course was in excellent condition. Greens run true . Challenging shots into the greens.

Great day with perfect conditions and cart crew were a great help.

What a great conditioned golf course for a challenging course and sporty also!

Front nine is nice and fairly flat - the valley.

Back 9 is appropriately named the mountain and is excellent mountain course with significant elevation changes from tee to green.

Very nice layout with only a few blind shots but be sure to use your rangefinder since driver is not needed on all of the tee shots on the back.

Greens were in good shape, well-maintained and rolling true but not too fast. Nice variety of short and long par 3 and par 4s.

Will play this course again next ime we are in the area.

Doesn’t matter when you go out there, the course is always in excellent shape. The design is great, but the conditions are really what make it. Slick greens but fair and true. Great fairways, consistent rough. All you want in a course.

The greens were very nice for the most part, just some parts had something killing the grass. Hole #2 has a double slope which can be tricky if on the wrong tier. Hole #3 is a long dog leg left with a creek along the right side. plays like a 5 par for me. Hole #11 is an uphill that requires an extra club or 2 for me to reach the green in 2. Hole #14 is a 3 par downhill that slopes a lot to the right, I 3 putted that hole being a long putt uphill to the hole that was at the extreme right side of the green. Hole #17 slopes severely away from your second shot. If your ball stops above the hole like mine did, take the 3 putt and go on.

The fairways, rough and collars were very shaggy. We play their 2-3 times a month and we haven’t seen the grass this long before. Made for a tough round as there was absolutely no roll with difficult chip shots. Usually they have it well manicured. There was a good bit of rain 4 days before we played but sunny since, mowing should have been a priority.

Tough to review.. there really are good points to the course, bar and grill, some challenging and other playable holes for average golfers . Course was in decent shape..

Biggest problem was pace of play. Up to four groups playing same hole.

Starter said pace of play on front nine was running at one hour fifty minutes when it was actually over 2 hours twenty.. To be fair I wasn't feeling or playing great so the experience might have been better but I wouldn't play it again under the same conditions

We love playing this place and that is the first thing we look forward too. The bar, the staff the view, all very sexy. We understand that the mountains can get Smokey after that beautiful rain. I would say this might be the worst decision they made. This comes from the staff looking us in the eyes after the sun came out and told us the course was closed. I understand safety, but this was past that. It ended up being one of the most beautiful days I’ve ever seen in the mountains and they told us the course was shut down. This may seem like a lot but we our group had 1,2 holes left. We were told to go home and that we had played enough.

No “we’ll let y’all play 18” (sun was out) - gorgeous

No rain check

No hospitality

Locked the restaurant

Superintendent “y’all played enough”

I’ll let you decide.

Good pace of play, started earlier than our 11:20 tee time. Course in exceptional condition. Back 9 much harder than front 9. Club sandwich at turn was very good. Will play again this year.
