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.

Get your Huking Boots on!

I am from south Louisiana so this course was very challenging. Lots of hills and narrow fairways. It was a pretty packed day but We were able to join up w the twosome behind us. The course was in very nice condition. Just be prepared for hilly climbs but the views were lovely.

Mountain golf!

The course was in good shape. The only drawback was 8 holes are cart path only. If you don’t keep your ball relatively close to it and in the fairway you are going to be doing some serious walking and climbing. This course will definitely test your stamina as well as your skills. We were paired up with a couple guys from Texas they were really friendly and we all had a great time. Overall the course was in good condition and you can’t beat the mountain scenery!!

A lot of hills, really fun

One of the hilliest courses I have played and it was a blast! I was just in Montana and they did not utilize the hills like this course and made it way more fun!

Great Course

The staff was great, the ranger, the young lady int eh pro shop and the lady in the snack area offered us ice for the cart.
I have been playing a while and just feel that each time i come to this course it just gets better and better.

The course itself was in great shape, each hole we played did not disappoint.

Always a challenge

Course layout is superb. One must stay in the fairway in order to shoot a good score. Rough is challenging. Bunkers are fair. Greens need work. Overall, an enjoyable experience.

Course Under Construction, Very slow pace of play

The first tee was closed so the par 4 played only 220 yards. Then, when we got to hole 9, which was a par 5, they had a teebox at 90 yards because they were doing tile work in the fairway. Pace of play on the back 9 was 3 hours. When I called the clubhouse, they sent out a ranger who said "It's not common for it to slow down on the back 9." When we got to where we could see holes in front of us, there were 3 empty holes in front of the slow group. What did we pay greens fees for if they weren't going to manage their course?
