Nice community. Greens are very large, fair and quick. Great views of Tellico lake and the Smoky Mountains. Staff is courteous.

Fun Course

Played this course after a few days of rain, and the conditions were surprisingly great! A couple of beautiful par 3 holes over water and wide open fairways on the front 9. Really allows you to bomb a driver. Very friendly service and really awesome practice area. Only complaint are the blind holes. There aren't any yardage guides or hole layouts at the tee boxes which forces you to kind of guess where the green actually is. Played 9 and 3 holes on the front 9 played that way. Also, greens were incredibly slow, but most likely had to do with the weather from the previous days.

Fun Course

Course was in great condition with great greens. Greens are difficult to read and rarely offer a straight flat putt. I like this course and will play many more times.

Always a great course....

I really appreciated the Golf Pro (serving as the Ranger) making several trips around to check on the pace of play.

The course was in great shape. Greens where in excellent condition some of tee boxes need a little work, but other than that is what great. Tee time said it included range balls, but these where not provided and I didn't ask, so maybe this is my fault. Overall a great golfing experience

Due to rain the course was wet and the greens were aerated

Due to the rain, the course was wet and the greens were aerated. The person in the pro shop was friendly and helpful. The people playing behind us were very polite. The course is challenging and Very well taken care of. I look forward to playing here again.

Any January Golf is Great!

Temperatures in the 30's rising to the low 40's made for a chilly day but the golf was good. The greens were rolling really fast and you could stop the ball on them. The bunkers had been raked and were well manicured. The balls rolled forever on the dormant fairways adding many yards to your drives. Teed off at 1:00 and were the last players on the course. Saw dozens of deer and the view of the Smokey Mountains was great! Wonderful day and look forward to coming back.

Great atmosphere!!!

Quite simply, one of the best panoramic views in the south.. It's not a diamond as far as up keep goes. However, the atmosphere and the peacefully energy this course holds, makes it well worth it to play.. I recommend playing it on a weekend day; where one doesn't have to hurry through it.. Basically, Take time to enjoy it..
Greens are a 6 out of 10.. Not real fast, but receptive .. Not to bumpy and true..
Fairways, are a 5 out of 10.. Rough is not an issue.. At least this time of year.. All in all, average course with an well above average atmosphere. Locals were cool their too..

WOW!!!

Outstanding course, fairways soft and greens immaculate as always. Weather was nasty, 38 and 20 mph wind, but the course was in excellent shape. We were pretty much the only ones out there, so pace of play was whatever we wanted. And at the Golfnow price of $15, it was a no-brainer.
