Wild Laurel

Wild Laurel just keeps getting better and better! Have been making improvements daily to enhance the golfers enjoyment! Fairways were great and greens were rolling true! Mountains surround you with turkeys and an occasional bear rambling through! Terrific and then finish your round at the 19tb hole with an awe inspiring view of Mt. Leconte in the Smoky Mountains! Doesn't get much better than this!!!

Much improved

I am impressed. The last time I played here it was not in good shape. I can tell that they have worked on it. Greens are much better and they would be perfect if people would just fix their ball marks. Most fairways are good but some still need a little work. Overall I am very happy with how the progress is coming along. Hopefully it will one day be one of the best courses in the state because it certainly has the setting to be that.

Why????

And great clubhouse, great bar and awesome amenities. Greens were in good shape… Why, why, why do they not maintain fairways and tea boxes? We were the only ones on the course… They said because of the rain but I say it’s because they let the conditions deteriorate. Honestly, this course would be awesome… Great layout, cool elevations and visually interesting. Great selection of beers and drinks in the clubhouse… I would tell you to play there but just be prepared that if you’re 5 feet off the green and think you’re going to run the ball up there you’re gonna have to go through a small forest but o get there!

Disappointed with poor condition of this course.

Years ago this course was in satisfactory shape and fun to play. This time the greens and fairways were poor and the pace of play terrible. Our round was 5 hours 15 minutes.
Will not be back!

Not worth the money

Fairways need actual grass, Greens were good. Didn't hit the sand so I can't say about bunkers. It does have some amazing views but the cost for a cow pasture like that is ludicrous. I won't be playing it again.

Thank you for leaving us a review. We’re glad you enjoyed our greens. As for our fairways, the Bermuda grass is still in dormancy due to colder nights here in the valley. As soon as nature provides with warmer temperatures our fairways will be in great condition.

I am from Florida so playing a course with serious elevation changes was new to me. Had a blast. Course was in good shape considering the time of year. Would definitely play here again.

WILD Laurel

5 Star Experience from the Pros that check you in to the 19rh hole when you finish with food and beverages! Greens were great, fairways were still a bit damp but great for winter golf! Wildlife galore with beautiful views of the mountains! Doesn't really matter what you score with such a beautiful venue!
