Gatlinburg Golf Course

Gorgeous course, decent value considering the area. Course isn’t long but has elevation changes and some various hazards to make it interesting.
Staff was friendly, food was decent as well.

Good value and staff easily worked me in with a twosome. Course was in great shape. Not long but plenty of elevation changes with great views. Greens were soft but quick. 10 is a gimmicky par 5 and 17 is an unreasonably long par 3 but rest of course is fun. Worth playing when in the area.

I had a really good time here. It’s the tail of 2 courses. The front much more open and the back much more mountainous. Although there is a lot of elevation on this course, only on one hole did I feel like it was a bit gimmicky. The greens were very soft. Some spectacular views. Good value.

Based on the front 9 only. Maybe the most scenic course I’ve ever played. It was in great shape. No gnats or bugs that some have mentioned. The starter was kind and said we could check out the 12^th hole which has a HUGE drop. Had a blast. No water at all on the front 9. The golf carts were great and needed to be for the hills, etc.

Played this course a few weeks ago. The course was in good condition, but still was very un-​playable. There seemed to be very few holes were you could find a flat surface to hit off of. Every fairway was sloped or slanted. Also, thre are many shots when you can’t see where the next shot. Now I know this is a normal thing when playing golf, but like this. On hole 10 your second shot is a blind shot into a narrowing canyon. It is impossible to get to the green due to the green being all the way around the right canyon wall. Weird design.
But there are some amazing holes too. The par 3 where you down over 100 feet is amazing. It is a very pretty course to look at for sure.
The biggest reason I gave this course 1 star is because of the staff and members/​regulars. I slightly hooked my tee hot off of the first hole. About 15 yards to the left of the fairway on the first hole is a practice hole (about 130 yard practice area). From this practice hole you have people hitting at you when driving to your tee shot. Since my shot hooked I was close to this area. Now the member/​regular that wasusing the practice area was using normal balls which made it difficult to find my ball. As I am looking for my ball this gentleman (about 65 years old) comes over and starts yelling at me for moving his balls. I told him I was looking for my shot and I couldn’t help it the practice area was put so close to the fairway. He then starts telling me how this is how it is on every course and that I’m an «asshole» and a «little prick». I get upset and decide to walk away. As I’m walking away he continues to taunt me. I tell him to «shut the hell up so I can hit my ball». He then tells me,“if you got something to say, say it to my face”. So I go over to him, and tell him to «shut up so I can hit my damn ball». I hit then finally was able to get away from him.
Through our interactions he informed me he was a member there and it was useless to try to report him to the staff because they all are his friends. With that being the case, I don’t feel the need to every go back there again to be insult by a bitter old man. Stay clear of this place if you want to avoid this kind of treatment!

We played there on Aug 2, 2012 with our golf trip.
We always enjoy this course and this year was no exception. It was in great sharp and is a good test. Lots of fun holes. Bugs have been a problem, but not so much these last few years.
