This last week I had to go out of town for work so I made extra time to play a few courses in TN.  I played Bent Creek GC in Gatlinburg TN, and I played the Gatlinburg Golf Course as well. They were so amazing, the views were spectacular. I entered a Four man scramble that my organization put on to help fund the Disaster Relief program, out team won 1st, I won the longest drive and the closest to the pin. Both courses were really challenging and took a lot of course management to keep a good score. Ill post some pictures below. Courses are worth playing if your ever in the area.

@Mmoorhead those courses were in my back yard so to speak. Played them numerous times. I see you recorded the 185/195 yard par 3 that you only need a 8 or 9 iron into. A 200 foot drop to the green. I think the worst part is the cart ride down to the green. The ball does hang in the air forever though. I just moved away in December to NC. Mountain golf rules!

@Tom the Golf Nut yes, the cart ride down made me very grateful that I wasn't walking lol. I loved playing mountain golf. Watching the ball flight, the hang time, and seeing it hit the green was a rush. I look forward to playing more mountain courses. Now that your in NC have you thought of playing the World Amateur tournament in Myrtle Beach. It looks like a lot of fun, I may check into it next year (end of August every year).

I looked into the big World Amateur tournament a few years ago. When I dug deeper and looked at a lot of reviews and stuff there were a lot of complaints about cheating and sandbagging. So, I kind of just let it go. Maybe it has turned around since then. I was contemplating it though since I had time shares in North Myrtle so it would have been cheap for me.

Played in it one year and you might get one really nice course out of the four. A lot of sandbaggers too.

You know, I didn't even contemplate sandbaggers. I guess in my head golf is still about being honest. All the courses they advertise looks great, it's interesting that you mention only playing one really good course. I guess that's advertising though.

How were the conditions at Bent Creek? Used to play it when locals could go out for $17. It went downhill and sold and closed for a while. Was hoping that new owners had gotten it back in shape. Think it is a "resort course" of a big hotel chain now?
