Laurel Valley Is Now Wild Laurel Golf Course

Wild Laurel Golf Course: Scenic Golfing in Townsend, TN
Tucked away in the peaceful community of Townsend, just a scenic drive from Gatlinburg, Wild Laurel Golf Course offers an exceptional golf experience in one of the most naturally beautiful settings in East Tennessee. Formerly known as Laurel Valley Golf Course, the course was renamed in 2018 under new ownership, which has since introduced a series of thoughtful upgrades that have enhanced its appeal and playability.
Originally designed by noted course architect Ed Ault, this par-70, 18-hole layout is open year-round and welcomes players of all abilities. Its tranquil valley setting, framed by wooded hillsides and sweeping views of the Great Smoky Mountains, creates an unforgettable backdrop for a round of golf.
A Course That Balances Challenge and Serenity
Wild Laurel’s layout combines tight fairways, strategic doglegs, modest elevation changes, and a few well-placed water hazards to create a course that is both rewarding and relaxing. Its location adjacent to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the Laurel Lake Nature Preserve makes it a haven for wildlife sightings—turkeys, deer, and even bears have been spotted near the fairways.
