Patriot Hills Golf Club

NOT FRIENDLY WITH NEW GOLFERS. I recently found some golf clubs and wanted to try golf. Me and a few friends came to Patriot Hills and payed for a round of golf. On our second hole we parked off the cart path and went to hit our balls, when an employee came and aggressively told us to get back on the cart path we complied and continued on our way. On the fifth hole another employee came and told us the leave, cussed us out for not knowing everything about golf, yelled at us for being slow and many other things. We left but wanted a refund for the 9 holes we didn’t get to see. After waiting on their boss we were told to just leave and that we were better off selling our clubs and never playing again.

The course is nice and usually plays pretty well. However, the few times I have gone it gets pretty backed up. They do not seem to care about pace of play at all. I have had a couple of rounds that took 5 hours or more. There is no ranger that is keeping up pace or a starter sending people off

Very nice course. Even in September the fairways still had good grass. Challenging par 3’s from the White Tees. #13 and #15 more than 170 yds and the wind was kicking the day we played. Plenty of scoring opportunities though because the course has 6 par fives and 6 par threes. Beautiful views of the Great Smokey Mtns. In the distance you could see the Nantahala Forest which separates TN from NC. Hope to get to play this course again next year.
