Smoky Mountain Country Club

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The course had several neat hole layouts that were fun to play. The “country club” part of the title was misleading. Not the nicest course by any stretch, but it was a fun experience for someone from out of town. I’d recommend it for the experience, but not for the course quality. Good value for the money.

Would’ve been unhappy paying the $69 they were trying to charge originally!!😡. Thankfully the GolfNow rate was more on par for the course at $44. It’s a $35 to $40 course. It is a nice alternative to Sequoya. I enjoyed the views.

Always a great time! Always is good shape! Awesome staff !

This course is so frustrating. We’ve been playing it for seven years when we visit the mountains. Every year we say “this could be such a great course if they took care of it.” Once again fairways are weedy and patchy. Greens are in better shape this year but some of them just have dirt around the perimeter. Tee boxes? Forget trying to find some grass. I guess they’re just happy to get the spill over from Sequoia. Cost twice as much but so much better. That being said we love the layout and so many fun holes.

This is by far my favorite course for the money in the area!!!

Weather had messed up greens, but they let us know ahead of time. We always enjoy this course.

Everything was enjoyable, they disclosed that they have greens in progress and that’s fine great landscape, beautiful grown in cool scenic views, a little piece of Paradise. Came as a stranger and left as a friend. Auf Wiedersehen 💛💫🫡

Thank you for a great experience and warm welcome at the check-in / pro shop

A friend and I visited Cherokee for the weekend, and I had the pleasure of playing at Smoky Mountain on a beautiful Monday afternoon. As the title says, the greens were in poor shape because of the extremity of recent weather in the area. I’m a native to WNC so, I completely understood. There had been a warning when I booked, so we expected the greens to be in poor shape.

However, the service, layout, and atmosphere made up for it and some. It’s a classic mountain course, with an inspired layout. The elevation changes mid hole, most par 3s are a shot down a cliff or mountain face, and the whole course captures the natural beauty of the area. I’m very excited to come again before winter and play on the greens when they are back to normal.

i played this course about 5 times, but not for about 4 years. The greens were non existent/ unplayable. that seems to be a problem in this area of the country after 4-5 months of heavy play. the staff was apologetic and helpful, but there was little they could do to salvage the play...

The greens had been damaged and were heavily sanded pending rebuild.

It’s a mountain course with a crazy layout. It’s worth playing at least once just to see it. The greens were awful, basically pressed mud. The fairways were in great condition.

If you’re looking for a scenic golf cart ride through the Smoky Mountains, the $80 price tag might feel reasonable. But if you’re coming to actually play golf, this course is far from playable in its current condition.

The tee boxes were in rough shape, and the greens weren’t greens at all—just rolled, packed dirt that played more like concrete. I’d estimate a 16–18 on the stimpmeter if you’re familiar with how fast hard surfaces roll. Fairways were passable and about what you’d expect for this time of year, but that’s about the only positive.

From a pure golf value standpoint, it’s a tough pill to swallow. Honestly, if you’re in it for the ride and the views, they could give Ridge Riders a run for their money. But as a golf course? Hard pass until serious improvements are made.

As a senior I enjoy this course because it is not too hard

On me as a senior.

Of course, was in tremendous shape, the Pace of play was very good.

The only the thing that could be improved on is more than the direction to the next hole. I still had no problem getting to the next hole. But those who are not as familiar with the course would
