Great day for winter golf in the foothills of the Smokey Mountains! Fairways we're dormant but playable. Greens were ok. 19th hole was great with food and beverages!

Beautiful Mountain View’s - but could not finish round.

I like this course and it has beautiful view and good layout. But we were not able to finish our round because carts had to be in by 6:30 which was 1/2 hour before sunset. We were not told that when we checked in and we’re on a 4.25 hour pace with a foursome and had even let several singles play through. Disappointing.

Overall course was in ok shape except most greens had significant weed growth making them bumpy.

Greens are dead

The greens were in horrible shape. Every single one had major dead spots. Fairways were long and the rough have been mown with so much grass clippings left behind. I’ve played here many times and I’ve never seen it in this shape. Very disappointing when I brought out of town friends to play. The staff is great the bar is fantastic with views of the Smokies but the golf left a lot to be desired. Granted it was only $25 but I would’ve been much happier paying $50 for a course in good condition.

Horrible shape

Honestly I like this course. It was just in such poor shape this time. Many of the greens were 50-80% dead, rock hard, and generally in very poor condition. The tee boxes were also so hard we had to try several spots just to get a tee in the ground.
I was just completely disappointed in the conditions.

The bar is fantastic with amazing views of the Smokies. Staff was friendly. Some great spots to visit in Townsend.

Greens and Bunkers

The greens are in terrible condition with some approaching 50% no grass. The bunkers looked like they had not been worked in a month. This course has beautiful scenery, but the conditions overpower them.

A little rough...

I love this course. However, it was in rough this time. The greens were in pretty bad shape. Also, golf shop attendant was not too responsive at check-in. I had to wait for them to load the drink machine and get candy from the storage closet. Then they we just not to friendly, like I was bothering them. Based upon the green conditions and staff, I paid too much to play the course.

Wild Laurel has a great view

Course was average. To much grass clippings piling up so made it difficult to find ball in middle of fairway. Some of the greens were missing grass!

Seen Better Days

I’ve been playing here for four years. It’s a bit ragged right now. Long fairway grass, longer than usual rough grass. Greens are very patchy with crabgrass on some. Traps are terrible. Needs some attention for sure

Gorgeous Area, Rough Conditions

Really nice location with an incredible clubhouse. Staff were friendly and there was no issue playing quickly at the course. The problem lies with the course. Tee boxes hadn't been mowed in a while (could be a rain issue) fairways were thick and rough definitely was rough. Unfortunately the worst part were the greens. Some were in amazing shape others looked like a bad municipal course in terms of quality. Unfortunately won't come back due to price/quality of the course.

Won’t be back

Course looked like it hadn’t been mowed in weeks. Greens have disease and were in terrible shape. No chance it’s a $50 course. I wouldn’t pay $5 to play here again.
