Going downhill
I've played Smokerise for years and this is the worst shape I've ever seen it in. Bunkers are absolutely gone. Rough hasn't been mowed in some time and is about 3 inches long.
Greens are quite nice though. They have done a good job keeping them up but the rest is hardly what you would expect of a private club.
Work in progress...
Greens in great shape. Fairways can be hit or miss. Tee boxes fair. Most annoying are the carts shutting down in the middle of a fairway or even more annoying on the cart path telling you to get on the cart path!
Renovations have been going on all summer but just doesn't seem to be coming together..
Decent value for the money...
Hello, Michael9852815. Thanks so much for your review. We're so glad you enjoyed your round at Smoke Rise Country Club. That's what we like to hear! We hope to see you again soon!
Hi, zamboon. We would love to hear more about your 4-star experience on our course. Please tell us what we can do to earn that last star, and thanks for golfing at Smoke Rise Country Club!
Beautiful Layout
Smoke Rise is a beautiful course with undulating fairways and greens. The greens are perfect! They are not too fast, and they roll so smoothly. It’s not a very long course, but club selection is very important. They are doing some good work improving the cart paths and bunkers. A fantastic place to play!
Hello, u5569058. Thank you for visiting us at Smoke Rise Country Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Great course, horrible carts
I’ve played here multiple times before and know that the carts have restrictions with where you can go on the course. I have no issue with that, but the speed at which these carts went added probably another 20-30 minutes to our round. They either would go 3 MPH, or stop every 10 feet, making us a slow group. We tried changing carts and it made no difference. One of the carts even died on hole 16, forcing one of our players to walk the rest of the way. Fix your carts.

Great course, long and challenging. Annoying smart carts
I had a great experience.
It was supposed to rain, but it didnt, and my pairs decided to back out and i enjoyed a good solo run. I found the course generally long, even on white tees it was quite hard for a guy like me who doesnt have much of distance.
Cold waters very often, plenty of bathrooms to go to, and clubhouse is very nice to hang out in. Staff could not be any friendlier.
course was fine. greens were quite fast, well maintained, fairway and rough conditions were fine. The only gripes I have with this course is the awful nanny of a cart that doesn't let you do anything, and a lot of area that lets you get near but does not let you get out unless you back out extremely slowly, (and dangerous if you back up in a incline). I understand some areas are off limits, but there are no warnings of when or where this is coming. It would be nice if it shows the GPS fence on the screen, but it does not.
I really liked the course, but I think ill probably not return just because of the awful cart.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, u2017569301. We are going to pass on your feedback about our carts to the team. Thanks for visiting Smoke Rise Country Club, and we hope to see you again in the future.

Underwhelming experience
Played this course 3 times. Course layout is terrible. Severe dog- legs made the play from the Blue tees(equivalent of white tees on most courses) less than desirable. Typical round of most courses off white tees would require 12-13 drivers off tee box. Blue tees off this course maybe 3-4.
Carts are programmed to slow down around hilly terrain . Problem was too often its slowed to near stopping on Flat surfaces!!! Made for very slow play. Very frustrating.

Good and challenging course
Always enjoy playing Smoke Rise. Normally well organized, but a little disorganized this past Saturday. Normally, no hassles. Good golf experience.

Lousy layout
This course has a wonderful staff and great facilities, it suffers from a very weak layout. The back is better than the front though.
Very gimmicky and way too narrow in places, the course just is not much fun. The par 3s are strong and the par 4s on the back (12,15,18) are pretty good. On the front, however, they are too gimmicky. The par 5s 2 and 10 are probably the worst holes on the course, joined closely by 4,5, and 9.
The greens need to be redone. They are bent and do not have the fans to keep air circulating on them, so they are in really rough shape. Time to put Bermuda in.
