Butternut Creek Golf Course
Played On 08/15/2019Do NOT Play Thursdays
This is a wonderful facility. The course conditions were very good in spite of heavy rain the night before. CPO is never fun, but worth it on the glorious sunny day with temperatures in the low 80s.
The greens conditions were excellent!
There is a grille above the clubhouse and food was very good.
Unfortunately we were unaware of league play on Thursdays. The marshall did not move them along and the league players have NO clue that pace of play is an important part of the game.
We will play here again other than on Thursdays.
Mountain Harbour Golf Club
Played On 07/16/2019Enjoyable Round
First 2019 play here, course name changed, excellent golf staff competence & friendliness has not changed. Good lunches served in clubhouse.
Greens in good shape, but very slow ... my guess about an 8 stimp. Fairway conditions good. MUCH improved rough conditions, they are finally mown to a reasonable 3rd cut level. Some soggy spots around the course, understandable with all the recent rain.
Character of front versus back 9 much different; that's not a bad thing. We prefer the back. We will play here again.
Chatuge Shores Golf Course
Played On 07/18/2018Fun Time, Great Views
Staff very accommodating and competent. Carts & paths in good shape. Fairways good with significant weed intrusion, good mowing negated any ill effect on play. Sand hazards OK, not great. Rough good, evenly mown. Greens good, fast (12+ my guess) and challenging. Fun elevation changes. Several blind shots throughout course. Good map/guide available from starter was very helpful for first time visitor. Fantastic Blue Ridge and lake views! A long drive for us, but we will play again.
Apple Mountain Resort
Played On 07/13/2018Course has reversed the 9s since last year
This is a decent course and they try hard to please. Greens are good, not great. Tee boxes good, no complaint. Fairways very good. Rough is unevenly mown, but OK. Layout is decent, with some interesting elevation changes. Views are boring. Carts in good shape. On course comfort station out of order. Refreshment cart circulates.A good value. Will play again.
Innsbruck Golf Club
Played On 08/01/2017Could Be So Much Better
Played here a year ago and will return again. Very good course layout. Elevation changes create interest. Many tee shots require accuracy due to narrow landing areas ... challenging and fun! Greens in very good condition. Fairways & tee boxes good. Sand hazards poor, need to be turned over and loosened up. Grass height in roughs was inconsistent. Cart paths need work (many potholes), some new sections added since last year, so this may be on the mend. Nice views from most holes enhance the experience. "Smart" cart driver-control is very bothersome and distract from the round; slow down on steep slopes, really, gee thanks.
Improve sand, mowing of rough and get rid of cart driver-control for a 5 Star !
Smoky Mountain Country Club
Played On 07/25/2017Course Conditions Need Some Work
"Mountain Golf" is an understatement ... don't even think about walking here! Some very interesting holes. Dramatic elevation changes. Greens & tee boxes in good shape. Green collars in poor condition on many holes. Rough very inconsistent, with heavy intrusion of weeds and undesirable grasses. Sand hazards OK, but need to be turned over and loosened up. Competent, helpful, friendly staff. Carts in good condition. Good value. With improved course maintenance this could easily be a 4 or 5 star rating.
Mountain Harbour Golf Club
Played On 07/24/2017Greens In Poor Condition
Nice Course design. Elevation changes create interest. Good landing areas off most tees; some challenging. Fairways & tee boxes in very good condition. Several greens were in poor condition, bare spots & sand filled spots (GUR). In addition two temporary greens in fairway. Sand hazards terrible ... red clay, not sand! Carts & paths in good condition. Well spaced comfort stations. Competent, friendly staff. Decent golf shop, nice bar area. This course could be 5 Star but wasn't close today.
Sky Valley Country Club
Played On 07/17/2017Good Course Design
Good layout with some challenging holes. Nice elevation changes create interest. No boring back & forth holes. Competent, friendly staff. Greens in good shape, but lots of unrepaired ball marks (a member issue?). Fairways & tee boxes in good shape. Sand hazards fair; too hard. Many wet spots throughout course which I suspect remain that way throughout season. Clean comfort stations. I will return to play here again.
Rabun County Golf Club
Played On 07/07/2017Good Municiple Course
We had fun! OK, it's a 9 holer with separate tees for "back" 9 which provide a little different look, distances and par ratings. A decent value and good little course. Well maintained for a muni course. Worth a visit.
Apple Mountain Resort
Played On 07/07/2017Good Golf Experience
Course layout is fair; a few boring back & forth holes. Greens & fairways in good shape, tee boxes fair and sand is so-so. Not a "pretty" course, but OK. Staff is friendly. We will play here again.
Kingwood Golf Club & Resort
Played On 07/07/2017Excellent Course Design
This is a very well maintained mountain course. The staff is competent and friendly. Greens were excellent today. While there are several "gettable" holes, many are challenging requiring accurate shots to avoid trouble. A good layout, never boring; no
back & forth holes. Large, CLEAN comfort station, carts in good shape with good cart paths. Nicely landscaped (wife insists it's one of the prettiest we've played). Complimentary chilled bottled water. Golf shop is fair. A good value. We will play here again!
