  Views are nice but the course is difficult to keep balls in play and there was no one to keep pace of play going. Maintanence was blowing leaves on to the fairways of the back 9 which didn't make sense. They also have little to no amenities for golfers, very basic pro shop, no clubhouse.

  We were on vacation in Pigeon Forge and my husband wanted to play golf. He made a tee time days in advance and got a tee time and confirmed his reservation. We drove 30 minutes to get to the course and arrived 30 minutes prior to his tee time and everything was locked up and shut down with a note saying they closed for weather. It was overcast and had rained earlier in the morning but was not currently raining and only moderate rain was predicted four hours after his tee time. We didn’t get an email, phone call, or text giving us prior notice that the course would be closed. Ridiculously bad service.

  This was my first time playing the course and I really enjoyed my round. The front 9 is somewhat forgiving but still places a priority of shot placement on most of the holes. Water comes into play on the majority of the holes on this course, mostly in the form of creeks and streams running along the holes, though a few have streams that cross the fairways, and this is where a lot of the target golf shots come into play. The back nine will eat your lunch if you don't have good shot control. Hazards and woodlands bring trouble into play on almost all of the holes on the back. I'm writing this after having played the course 3 times. My biggest complaint about the course is the watering. I played early each day, but many of the greens are so over-watered that there is standing water on the greens while playing. This isn't from rain; it's from intentional irrigation. I was hoping after the first day that this would be a one-time occurrence, but each round has been the same. Some holes are worse than others, with #10 being the worst. There has been so much water on the green here that hammering a 40-foot putt couldn't reach the hole. A rooster-tail of water flies up from the ball, and it gets bogged down in the film of water rapidly. I have honestly never seen this much water on a single green that was caused by irrigation. Greens go from drenched to bone dry, which makes the speeds incredibly inconsistent. This makes for an unnecessary challenge to an already difficult course. Some of the greens have a lot of crabgrass, which affects the role of the ball, but this is only on a couple of holes (#7 stands out, but there are a few others). Despite these issues, I still really like the course.

  Pretty bold price for a course that is in such a bad shape. Super dry, still feel my wrists from scratching the hard ground all day. The location has a lot of potential and the staff is friendly, therefore 2 stars and not just one. Additionally, paying 40 dollars for a rental set of clubs is a bit much.

  Front nine condition was OK. Back nine took an hour to play two holes and it’s in terrible condition. Dirt tee boxes greens a mess. Would not recommend this course to anyone unfortunately. Setting looks great but they do not take care or invest in this course. Play Gatlinburg course for same price and sooooo much nicer!
