Things To Do.
Rivaled in beauty, only by The Great Smoky National Park, the views available from every hole are reminiscent of Laurel Valley’s ridge-side neighbor … Cade’s Cove. This challenging, yet playable, eighteen-hole regulation course, was designed by Edmund B. Ault, ASGCA, and features bent grass greens and bermuda fairways. Dramatic drops in elevation, natural meandering creeks, and towering mountains are at every turn. Although private memberships are available, Laurel Valley Golf Course is open to public play and events, and offers a practice putting green, as well as rental clubs for the traveling golfer.
