Great course tucked in the Smokies

Beautiful course in a valley of the smokey mountains. Course is in great shape and a fun one to play. Clubhouse is very nice with an excellent bar overlooking the course and the mountains. Staff is always helpful and friendly, and it’s not too expensive to play either. Would recommend this course to anyone! The views are insane!

Overall this course was a great bang for your buck. My only complaint would be the swarming gnats that you battled on most holes.

Rainy day but great

While it had rained all day prior and leading to us, we decided to risk it and go for playing. The course, while soaked, it was in great shape. A couple greens had some bumps and dead areas around the edges, but overall this is one of my favorite courses in the area.

Cute Course and Country Club with nice bar / restaurant

Any course where there is a game of pool at mid-day is going to be unique. Tucked off the beaten path, this course was challenging and fun! Good grass, slow but very puttable greens, and sandy traps is all you can want for a bargain price. Half-hour ride from Pigeon Forge, take the trip if want some fun!

They said it would rain on us!

Really beautiful views, some fairways could use some work, and a number of challenging greens. Enjoyed the difficult holes and sloping greens, but the course was fun and the views were spectacular.

Mountain Views

Fairways were non existent, like playing on a field. Sign on pro shop door stated that greens had been aerated 18 days ago so they were still lots of sand on the surface. No mention of this on GolfNow when booking round. Spectacular views all around. We saw a black bear, couple of turkeys and a beaver near one of the water hazards.

Something has happened

I have played this course many times over the last twenty years. Since its recent purchase a few years ago it was becoming a better place to play. I was disappointed this week by the shape of the greens and the fairways. The greens appear to be under repair as they have been micro-punched and possibly re-seeded. Fairways have more weeds than in the past. my hope is that they are just now able to begin getting ready for the season and things will get much better. I will revisit the course in August and look forward to much better conditions

Disappointed

The greens were sanded which made it difficult to putt. We have played this course many times over the years and it was wonderful. The greens were also rough and we got behind some very slow players. Since it is early in the year I understand it will take a while to get the course in better shape.

It would have been nice to know

No information about punched and sanded greens. This is the third time booking my round through golf now In the late evening hours. I now know that I need to contact the course directly before booking through golf now. This course was excellent considering the harsh weather that has beaten this area this year.

Fun place

We had a great time there. Staff was friendly and accommodating in both the pro shop and restaurant. Still spring conditions and greens were just punched and sanded so course conditions were fair. Note a number of blind shots. Course knowledge is helpful. Beautiful views and lots of wildlife.
