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.

Needs maintenance

This course is in a very pretty spot. Unfortunately, the course condition does not match. The fairways have way too many weeds! Tee boxes are quite worn, a common problem. Several blind tee shots along with rough areas that are somewhat overgrown, makes balls disappear with annoying frequency.

BUGS

I know it was the Smokey Mountains in the summer but, the bugs were awful, The course was in excellent shape and the staff were great. I know there are idiots everywhere and we followed 4 of them during our round. I know people drink when they play and that's their business. But when you ride your clubs like stick horses yelling like crazy, that's way too much.

Best mountain course

Out of the many to choose from, this course represents the best in a well maintained, beautiful mountain course. Except for a few spots on the fairways, the course was in excellent condition. Greens were smooth and true, tee boxes were in good condition. The grill is open till 7, unlike many the close before you finish your afternoon round!, and the food was excellent as well as the friendly service. We would play this course over and over again if we were staying in the area.

Great course tucked in the Smokies

Beautiful course in a valley of the smokey mountains. Course is in great shape and a fun one to play. Clubhouse is very nice with an excellent bar overlooking the course and the mountains. Staff is always helpful and friendly, and it’s not too expensive to play either. Would recommend this course to anyone! The views are insane!

Overall this course was a great bang for your buck. My only complaint would be the swarming gnats that you battled on most holes.

Rainy day but great

While it had rained all day prior and leading to us, we decided to risk it and go for playing. The course, while soaked, it was in great shape. A couple greens had some bumps and dead areas around the edges, but overall this is one of my favorite courses in the area.
