Ready to play Golf in the Tennessee Smoky Mountains? The Tennessee Smoky Mountains area is well known as the Southeast's family vacation destination. Everyone knows about the abundance of amusement parks, shopping, and dinner shows for the entire family to enjoy throughout the Smokies, but did you know there are three highly ranked golf courses all within a 25-mile radius of each other?
Golfing in the Great Smoky Mountains is an amazing activity that golf enthusiasts from around the world come to experience. The attractive scenery and stimulating greens make golfing in the Smokies a memorable event to all who long for the swing of a golf club. These professionally designed fairways offer open access to the public all year long with each golf course offering its own unique golfing challenges for the beginner to the most experienced golfing pro.
The Gatlinburg Golf Course is actually located in the heart of Pigeon Forge, across from our Bear Cove Falls Pigeon Forge cabins next doors to Dollywood Amusement Park.
Gatlinburg Golf Course is open year-round, offering golfers a fully equipped pro shop and food services. Designed by noted golf course architect William Langford, this beautiful 18-hole golf course later underwent a half-million dollar renovation to several holes in 2007 by Bob Cupp & Associates of Atlanta. Rebuilt greens and reworked fairways offer beginners to well-seasoned golfers a unique challenge on every hole. Gatlinburg Golf Course has received the honorable distinction as one of the most picturesque courses in America with its breathtaking views of the Great Smoky Mountains.
Some of the legendary holes at the Gatlinburg Golf Course are: #12, affectionately known as "Sky Hi," which drops 200 feet from tee to the green; #3, a 529-yard par 5 aptly named "Long Lane" for good reason; and #17, a 231-yard par 3 offering very little in the way of forgiveness. Together this spectacular 18-hole golf course in Pigeon Forge stretches out over 6,281 yards of challenging and exciting fun.
