Smoky Mountain View’s

I always love Wild Laurel.. such beautiful views while playing golf here. During this time of year after a brutal winter in Townsend the fairways cannot be judged but they’re keeping up the greens. Some things they can control and others they can’t. If you want to see this course in Al of its glory check it out in the summer. Beautiful! Wild laurel has always had a place in my heart. The beauty, the serenity, course layout, bar staff and the staff.

Underwhelming

I realize it’s February and courses in area are rough but I can’t imagine this course being “grown in” or manicured come warm season. Missing all types of grass in large numerous areas.

Nearly our favorite course in the area

This has been one of our favorite courses in the area. Beautiful clubhouse with a little restaurant, a great food trailer at the turn, and a drink cart circling. The course conditions have been awesome in the past. We have seen some more rough edges around the fairways, crabgrass on the tee boxes and bad spots on the greens. We hope they get these improved.

Laurel Crest

Great course for the money. Don’t expect Augusta and you will be fine. A shot in the rough was definitely a disadvantage. Challenging course knowing that. Take plenty of balls.

Course is ok but rough around all the edges

Fairways overgrown in quite a few places. Some of the greens have fungus or green rot. Bunkers are very bad, hard, weeds growing in them. Play there quite a bit The course needs some Love and Attention

Wild Laurel is WILD

Wild turkeys, deer, and bears! Course had good views of Smokies and was in good shape. It was cart path only which didn’t really seem to be necessary on most holes. Oh well, a few extra steps shouldn’t hurt anybody. Clubhouse house was very nice. I had late lunch at the bar and the chicken salad sandwich was awesome.

The 3 beards were crossing the road into a wooded are and headed near some backyards of houses. I wasn’t fast enough to get my camera up in time to get all three, but I did get one picture I’ll share. Reminds me of when I lived in Florida and many of the visitor golfers scrambled to get their pictures taken with the alligators.

Needs some TLC

It’s not a bad layout but is not well maintained. Greens and fairways need work. If you’re a good golfer, avoid.
