Fantastic experience: Incredible golf trip experience to the Smokey Mountains thanks to Buck at First Tee Mountain Golf! Buck was efficient, reliable, and made planning our 20-guy golf trip completely hassle-free. From start to finish, everything went smoothly, no roadblocks, no stress. His course selections were outstanding and included some absolute gems. Sequoyah National was a must-play, stunning views and a really fun layout. Balsam Preserve was another highlight (totally worth it if you’ve got the budget and he’s the only way you’re getting on it), and track at Waynesville had a unique, old-school layout we all loved, back 9 takes a fun turn. Buck handled all the details, and we felt like VIPs the entire time. The whole group had a blast we are already looking forward to booking the next one. If you’re planning a mountain golf trip, don’t do it without Buck!

Fantastic experience: We’ve been doing the Don & Mike Golf Tournament for 26 years, always at the beach, typically places like Myrtle. This was our first time heading to the mountains, and First Tee Mountain Golf made it one of the best years we’ve ever had. Buck Blum was incredible to work with. He helped us organize four days of golf for 40 guys across multiple courses, and everything was handled perfectly. The courses were in great shape, the views were unreal, and breakfast each morning made it easy to get going. Buck was on top of everything, checked in with us each day, and made sure we had what we needed before we even had to ask. The price was great too, especially for the level of service and experience we got. We’ll definitely be back. Can’t recommend Buck and First Tee Mountain Golf enough.

Fantastic experience: We do a golf trip with 12 guys every year. Buck did a great job at helping us coordinate everything for our trip.

Fantastic experience: The golf crew decided on Maggie’s Valley and a cabin for this years golf trip. We contacted Buck and he put together a tremendous package for us. All 4 courses were great, with the signature one being Sequoyah National. And then the cabin was top notch. Clean. Spacious. And the views of the lake were first class. Trust me when I say, contact Buck, let him put it all together and then show up to enjoy an amazing time.

Fantastic experience: Just spent a weekend in an awesome house (Standing Elk Lodge) with 7 other guys for our annual golf trip. Played Sequoyah National, Laurel Ridge, Springdale, and Maggie Valley.

Fantastic experience: This trip 3/29/2024 - 3/31/2024 was my favorite of all trips we’ve done in the past. The courses were amazing, and our hotel was centrally located to each of them. Because we were a 2-some, we expected to be teamed up for all of our rounds. However, we played Reeds Creek just the two of us, and it was a blast! Buck checked in with us each day, so we were impressed by his attention after the sale. We will be scheduling next year’s trip with Buck as well!

Fantastic experience: Courses and accommodations were awesome.Sequoyah National was absolutely stunning. Buck always responded to my requests in a timely fashion. We will use Buck and his team in the spring for a return trip.

Fantastic experience: Buck set up our group of four older gents, with four rounds of golf in three days that included Reems Creek, Grove Park Inn, Cummings Cove and Laurel Ridge. Each course was nicer than the next with dramatic changes in elevation, uneven lies and plenty of blind shots! For us Florida golfers, it's always a real treat to play courses that are other than flat. He took the time to check the aeration schedules and proximity to the house we rented, and the courses we played were all in fine condition! Fortunately the weather was perfect and the mountain views and scenery were nothing less than spectacular! I would not hesitate to use First Tee Mountain Golf again for booking another mountain golf outing, it was terrific!! Thanks Buck!

Fantastic experience: Working with First Tee Mountain Golf was a true pleasure. They helped us find the perfect golf course for a wonderful weekend. I was very impressed by Buck's willingness to offer several choices of golf courses based on a rating system using one of our home courses as a benchmark. Springdale exceeded all of our expectations. The condition of the course was great. Playing 18 was epic! The club house, restaurant and pro shop is truly beautiful. We will be booking our next trip in the NC mountains with Buck very soon. Buzz B.

Fantastic experience: We played Smoky Mountain, Springdale and Sequoyah National - all wonderful and unique in their own way. But Sequoyah was really challenging and fun. Checking in at each one was a breeze and everything was already taken care of through Buck and First Tee. The hospitality was also great everywhere we went. We really enjoyed visiting all the small towns around us after golf. The condo Buck reserved for us was perfect and everything went according to plan. I will definitely do this again. Thanks so much!!

Fantastic experience: At the end of our three days we were all well satisfied with our trip. Buck was easy to work with and was very helpful in making some minor adjustments to our excursion. The stay at Smokey Mountain resort was very cool as the condo was situated high up on the mountain and provided tremendous views of the valley. The condo itself was also very impressive. We played three courses. Smokey Mountain- a mountain course with a variety of hole challenges, elevation changes, and more scenery. The course was in a good shape and well maintained. Laurel Ridge was also in excellent shape, challenging, and again lots of scenery. We finished at Maggie Valley and it had its own uniqueness, also well maintained and fun to play. Should we venture back to the area First Tee will be who we will contact.

Fantastic experience: Buck has been a phenomenal help with both trips that we had him plan for us. He is very attentive, has great communication & is extremely accommodating to our needs.

Every year we have five couples take a golf trip to different places and Buck made this years trip unforgettable. Great house in Banner Elk, N.C. and fantastic golf courses. He communicated with us before, during and after the stay. We could not have asked for someone better to deal with.

Fantastic experience: First Tee Mountain Golf did a great job organizing our golf trip in the Western, NC mountains. Buck was extremely helpful with any questions I had and was very responsive.

Fantastic experience: When we decided to have a weekend golf trip to western NC, an area we were unfamiliar with, we knew we needed a pro to help us with course selection and tee times; Buck did just that. From the first phone call to making sure we had good rounds, Buck helped us along the way to ensure our trip was memorable. We will certainly be working with Buck again for future trips!

Positive experience: Excellent service by Buck. The Pineola was rustic but clean Courses were in good shape except the greens at Boone Golf which were bumpy. When the weather warms up they should be fine. Back nice at Linville Land Harbor is something you will want to play once only. Over all, a good trip. Restaurants are close and the food is good and reasonable.

Fantastic experience: FTMG put together a fantastic little golf getaway package for us. Highly knowledgeable of all the best mountain courses. Will definitely use FTMG again in the future!

Fantastic experience: I will recommend First Tee to any and everyone wanting to take a golf trip. Buck was outstanding in getting our accommodations lined up and tee times set. Played at Springdale and Laurel Ridge, both are beautiful courses, but Laurel Ridge is HIGH recommendation from me. The rental home was conveniently located for both courses and had everything Buck promised. Thank you to First Tee Mountain Golf!
