Golf in Pigeon Forge

Pigeon-Forge is one of the most intensively developed tourist corridors in the American South, a Sevier County city where the Parkway — U.S. Highway 441 — is lined with attractions, dinner theaters, outlet malls, and resort hotels for miles along both sides of the road. Dollywood, the theme park and entertainment complex founded by Dolly Parton, is the anchor attraction, drawing millions of visitors annually and giving the city a pop-culture celebrity connection unusual even for a destination of its scale. The Little Pigeon River runs through the entertainment strip, and the mountains rise dramatically on all sides — the Great Smoky Mountains begin less than five miles south at the park boundary. Golf in Pigeon Forge operates in a landscape defined by tourism-economy density, competing with every other recreational and entertainment option available to the millions of annual visitors to this corner of the Smokies.
