Wild Laurel Golf Course

I love this course. However, it was in rough this time. The greens were in pretty bad shape. Also, golf shop attendant was not too responsive at check-in. I had to wait for them to load the drink machine and get candy from the storage closet. Then they we just not to friendly, like I was bothering them. Based upon the green conditions and staff, I paid too much to play the course.

Course was average. To much grass clippings piling up so made it difficult to find ball in middle of fairway. Some of the greens were missing grass!

I’ve been playing here for four years. It’s a bit ragged right now. Long fairway grass, longer than usual rough grass. Greens are very patchy with crabgrass on some. Traps are terrible. Needs some attention for sure

Really nice location with an incredible clubhouse. Staff were friendly and there was no issue playing quickly at the course. The problem lies with the course. Tee boxes hadn't been mowed in a while (could be a rain issue) fairways were thick and rough definitely was rough. Unfortunately the worst part were the greens. Some were in amazing shape others looked like a bad municipal course in terms of quality. Unfortunately won't come back due to price/quality of the course.

Course looked like it hadn’t been mowed in weeks. Greens have disease and were in terrible shape. No chance it’s a $50 course. I wouldn’t pay $5 to play here again.

Great place for mountain golf. Great bar and grill. Friendly staff.

Played this course many, many times. The layout is a typical Appalachian.mountain setup and the course can be fun for seasoned or beginner type golfers. However, this course currently needs some TLC from a maintenance standpoint. Most of the greens are in bad shape with bald spots due to fungus and continue to deteriorate. The fairways are in fair condition but are shaggy on a majority of holes. The bunkers are not maintained. This course gets plenty of play so revenue shouldn't be a problem in addressing these issues. In my opinion, the revenue from fees applicable to green/cart/club rentals/accessories is being directed somewhere else. Despite the aforementioned, the staff is friendly for the most part, the mountain scenery is pleasant, and the food at the 19th hole is good.

To start the disappointment off — we arrived about 45 minutes early—-not really sure how far it would take to get there through the winding roads we ended up getting there early— The staff gentleman checking us in thought he was doing us a favor and letting us go 10 minutes early—-so we went to the putting green by the first tee—-we realized then that no one was going off and no one was on the course— instead of telling us that and to go on whenever we wanted he still delayed us for no reason—-
After going off The first nine holes — we realized they were watering the greens ahead of us on hole 10 — we did catch up with the gentleman and explain that no one was behind us if he could wait— he did not and he not only watered the greens they ended up With casual water on every green!!! By whole 16 it was a total mess!!!
Explained at the end of the round to the staff and they did nothing and told us we could call the owner??? Pretty disappointing

The course is a gem in and of its self. Great challenging layout from any tee box, beautiful scenery, great fairways, and lots of wild flower beds, etc.

The only real issue was that the greens have patches of fungus and several rough spots, and the place needed mowed and trimmed in the worst way. The 17th tee box had 2 weeks worth of grass standing on it. It didn’t affect play, but it takes away from what could be a top tier course.

The greens need work, and a lot of mowing and landscaping work needs done. It’s too good of a layout, has great fairways, but the greens need work and a lot of areas are just unkempt, including a tee box or two.

This course is a couple of days of good groundskeeper work away from being true to its glory. The greens have some fungus that needs more serious care.

Friendly staff, good location, and again, great, challenging layout.

Not mowed properly. Greenside grass not mowed either.

Visually pleading but greens were terrible and the rough was 6" deep.

Greens are cut high & extremely slow. Grass around greens not mowed.
Greens had disease patches on most.

This Course is one of the reasons I relocated from Pa.The course used to be gem till the new owner took over.It could be that again if they had the resources and manpower to put into it.If this course wasn’t in close proximity to the tourist traps they would not survive.It’s super overpriced for what it is .Save your money and travel over to Maryville or Tellico and play some courses that are not only beautiful but reasonably priced

I loved the setting and the layout with great Smoky Mountain View’s and a wide variety of hole layouts. Fairways and tees were decent, but greens were quite shaggy with many rough spots. Also, no fringe cut around greens. This would be a 5 star if they can get the maintenance up to snuff.

We have played here several times in the past 20 years. Love this course especially in the fall when the leaves are at their peak. Lot's of wildlife to be seen while playing. Especially Wild Turkey. One of our favorite courses.
