Early Season Gruff

A little frustrated that the entire course wasn't available to play and I was charged $20 for my little sister to be a spectator.

I am understanding of early season conditions. That being said, the greens were in great shape as the rest of the course was beginning to wake up.

Overall the pro or pro shop staff, could have been a bit more in touch with the early season reality.

Would come back to play the entire course when it's ready. The front nine offered a nice experience and challenge.

Gatlinburg Golf Course

Greens were in great shape for the time of year. The fairways were good for the amount of rain while we were there. Cart path only made it more challenging and is more suited for mountain goats lol. I want to play it again when carts are allowed on fairways. Two holes were closed due to maintenance but they allowed us to play 2 holes twice.

Greens were excellent

Greens were really well maintained and consistent throughout the course. I thought the cost of the round was fair. We will definately be playing this course again next vacation.
