You get what you pay for

Nice club house but ground was hard not a whole lot of grass period greens were just air rated so there was a bunch of holes and they dumped a bunch of sand on them so it was like you were putting in a bunker on some. I would have to say tee boxes were the best part of the course drinks were good but hotdogs were ok if you didn’t eat the bun couldn’t even get my teeth through the bottom part of the bun

Wild Laurel Golf Course

Fairways were Dormant but still good for winter golf. Greens were slow with a few bare spots but rolled true. Great 19th hole to finish your round with a beautiful view of the Smoky Mountains!

They Are Trying

We keep coming back about once or twice a year to see if they have made any progress on the improvements we keep hearing that they are planning to make but each time we leave as disappointed as the time before. The greens are usually borderline unplayable with dead spots, weeds, etc. and when they actually have grass on them they are so shaggy and slow they are almost unplayable in that regard as well. Just so disappointing because this little course could be a little jewel if someone would just put some money and effort into it.

Disgusting

Played here 4 tears ago. Course conditions were 5 of 10. Course has promise and publications promised investment and improvements. Well 4 years later it lacks maintenance. Greens have bare spots fairways and rough need mowing and grooming. Worst conditions I have ever seen. Couldn't pay me to return.

SLOW

Course conditions were sub par. Most of the greens were rolling alright with some dead spots. Fairways and the rough were virtually the same grass/weeds. Tee boxes were cut too high and made hitting irons off the par 3s and some par 4s difficult. Bunkers were just rocks and mud in some spots. The overall layout is chaotic with some tee boxes hitting over or in very close proximity to other holes/teeboxes. Keep your head on a swivel through the middle part of the course. Definitely not worth the green fees with the condition the course is in. If you do end up playing it, BRING BUG SPRAY. There's a healthy gnat population.

Greens were in great shape, fairways were a little long due to all of the rain the course had received in past weeks, I love the layout, it makes you hit different shots, overall I would definitely recommend this course.

Waste of an hour drive

The fairways are in rough shape to put it nicely. Not to mention after my round I went to the bar and sat for 10 minutes without getting any service while the bar tender shot the breeze with his co-workers. Just got up and left. Don’t let how nice the club house looks the couse doesn’t match

Being Honest!

First off if the course does not have a practice range that should be posted on GolfNow. Guy in clubhouse gave me 6 balls and said I could hit into nets they had set up. There were holes in the nets so every ball just went threw net. The setup of the front nine is awful. It’s like playing blind golf. Greens were ok once you actually could see them. The fairways are spotty and patchy. To me it’s like they had limited land to build golf course. You nearly have to be perfect off tee box to hit some of these fairways. I stopped after nine. I had enough.
