Maggie Valley Club and Resort

Writing this review about 6 weeks after the round but as always, if you get a hot deal for under $40, it’s always worth it. New greens on back nine have settled in nicely / no complaints. There was a frost delay but even after 20 minute delay, the ‘members’ aka locals, I believe, maybe there are actual members, I forgot, but they flew around and didn’t hold us up. Front nine has some interesting holes but mainly flat with a lot of flowing creeks to be aware of. Back nine is much more hilly. Overall, quality course with decent restaurant, driving range is literally a quarter mile up a hill, but again, book a hot deal for under $40 for maximum value. 35-45 min from Asheville, I’ll play it 3-4 times a year. No rangers or starters but I’ve never had a pace of play issue.

I am a beginning golfer (started playing this past summer) and this course is my favorite to play in the area. I have played every single course in Haywood County and many in surrounding counties and this course consistently impresses me. My only complaint is that the pricing fluctuates like crazy. I have received student discounts (college student) sometimes, and sometimes I haven't. I have played this course for as cheap as $25, or for as expensive as $60. Other than that, this course is great.

Beautiful course especially during the fall. Little wet after the rain last night. Definitely going back there again beautiful course.

Greens would not hold a good shot, extremely unfair condition for amateur golf!!!

Nice friendly course, staff and members. Well laid out and challenging. Great '19th hole snack bar.

I thoroughly enjoyed playing this course. Staff was friendly and greens were well maintained. I would certainly come back for the experience and beauty of this course.

Staff very friendly and rates are reasonable. I play this course 6 or more times a year. Always in good shape and they take care of detail on the course. Super views of the surrounding mountains! Would recommend this course to play if you are in the area.

Great vacation area and very close to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Also very close to Harrah’s casino in Cherokee N C .

We travel to Maggie Valley each September to be close to this hidden gem. It blends a. Purse a high elevation with a mountain course. The Valley course is flat and the back climbs/ de ends from mountain conditions. Generally in nice condition for a public accessible course in the mountains at a fair price.

The week after Labor Day is when they aerate the greens and damaged course areas. Today was one of those days. While the conditions were substandard today, that was offset by light play numbers so we were able to zip around in less than three hours. That is a feat.

So, try it. I think you will do what happened to me; I fell in love with the place.

Placing twosomes in between foursomes is POOR scheduling. Course should NOT allow this to happen. Foursomes try to keep up pace of play with twosomes even they have to wait on even SLOWER twosomes in front.. NO course rangers to inform groups for slow play...

Don't get up here enough but Maggie Valley is the best around. Front nine almost flat. Get ready for a mountain test on the back. I love it!

I am a greenskeeper by profession, I’m also a single digit handicap. Keep this in mind when you read this because I’m just telling you the real stuff no fluff, no bias. Maggs has the flat valley front and the hilly ridge back. Bear this in mind, your handicap will get it’s workout. The staff here does an great job keeping the course in good playable condition. That said you will not find lighting fast greens here.. and the rough is deep enough to slow your roll. (If they cut some of the par 5 and long 4s down more the pace of pace would be faster, just saying guys)

- [ ] 6 holes your shooting blind into as you do most mountain courses. OK NOW LISTEN UP !!! DO NOT BOOK A TEE TIME ON A TUESDAY AND THURSDAY MORNING !!! I don’t have any problem with any group as long as they maintain the proper pace of play, and repair their ball marks.For this course is 10 min average per hole. So if you show up here be ready for that. It’s popular and the parking lot was full by 9. But on Tues and Thurs mornings the ladies hold court and there is no Marshall to enforce the standard.

- [ ] The driving range is good, grass and mats out to 240 yards. They maintain a very nice short game area for every wedge in your bag out to 70 yards, only thing missing is a practice bunker... oh well no biggie. The greens here are very nice and local knowledge paramount. Ghost breaks and speedy tiers will make you wanna draw a proper greens book. Overall the time to get here and price for the golf is a toss up. If your staying here then it’s a no brainer. During my round a saw the refreshment cart twice on the back 9.. which is nice. But I had to push my electric cart up the hills on the back 9... they don’t use gas powered so make sure your is fully charged or you will not make it around. Will I come back.. perhaps.. but not on a Tuesday or Thursday.

Felt welcome on arrival. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Corse plays well. Valley nine is challenging and pretty leve. Mountains demands more thoughtfulness on tee shots but very playable though a challenge. Greens are quite large and have some hidden breaks. This day played cartpath only but manageable. One thing they could use would be yardage marks on cart paths every 59 yards from 200 yards in. 8! Hip and shot it. Very fair course.

Will definitely play again !

Greens and fairways were in excellent condition. Views around the golf course are awesome! Play when you get a chance! You won’t be disappointed!
