Nice, picturesque course to play

The course has had improvements since the last time I played it. Many trees were cut down to open the views of other fairways. The back nine has multiple challenging holes and a very elevated 3 par that is very picturesque. I enjoyed playing this course, but did not like the cart path rule especially on some of the holes. The fairways were sprayed green which was very beautiful making the brown grass look like sand.

Needs help

I have lived in the area for 20 years and I have played the course multiple times. I paid $21 after discount and consider it worth that cost. The standard $60ish a round would be way too much for the winter conditions. Greens were inconsistent on each green, not just between greens. Back nine has never been my favorite, but it is their course. Hopefully the spring will bring a much better experience.

Great course for the value!

Good value course. Amazing signature 12th hole. Keep in mind, there is no range for warmups, just three net cages to hit into. There are separate chipping and putting greens.
It was cart path only the whole round even though ground was dry. I would play again due to the convenience of the course being in Pigeon Forge city center and the price.

Challenging course

Good Course layout except when it is cart path only. Then it is a real bear as it has a lot of hills to walk up and down.

Excellent Course

Beautiful well manicured golf course. Love the multiple elevation changes with sloping fairways. Definitely had to plan each shot to take advantage of sloped fairways. First time playing, look forward to playing this course again.

Great for occasional play.

The price is a little high for playing on a regular basis but not outrageous for a vacation course. A few rough spots in the greens and putting speed was excellent. Fairways were excellent. Views are very good. Holes 10 and 12 are unique and playable for the average golfer.

Hot November

I wore shorts on this 80 degree day. This beautiful mountain course adjacent to Dollywood was in very good shape. Bermuda rough is turning brown and dormant. Greens were fast and smooth. I had to invoke the “free drop”leaf local rule a couple times.(if ya know ya know). Front nine is wide open. Back nine is much tighter. Will play here again this year if the weather permits.
