Very nice condition and layout

This course was in very good shape and the staff was very friendly. It was a little crowded, but this course is very popular with East Tennesseans.

Rain check

Are we able to get a rain check. We got through the first 9 holes and then got rained out. Wasn’t sure how it worked to try and request this. Any help with this would be appreciated.

Thanks for playing at Knox Muni! Sorry to hear you're back 9 was rained out, but I would be more than happy to help with issuing you a rain check for those holes you were unable to play. Please shoot me an email to JSmedley@GolfKnox.com with your tee time information (names of players in your group, tee time, fee you paid) and I will make sure that we get you set up with that rain check.

Best,

Justin Smedley

Hit and miss

No pun intended with the title. This course is kinda hit and miss. Some very nice spots. The back 9 is in much better condition, in my opinion than the front 9. Some cart path issues, mostly on the front, course mostly in good shape. Just some weird things throughout the course, though. Spots in fairways and even just in the first cut that are inconsistent and out of place .Random holes all over the place. Anything off the fairway, even slightly, and you might have no idea where your ball is even if it wasn't unreasonably far and wide. Greens were in good condition. Not a lot of people on the course today, I was essentially alone. The second half of the day that was because of the rainstorm, but it doesn't seem to get a lot of action. Friendly staff. No driving range here, which is strange to me. But it was a nice, generally relaxing round. I would go again, but I don't live in town.

The course has made quite a few improvements and were busy with more today. The course was in the best condition I’ve personally seen it. Will play there more often.

Love the staff.

Willie, Alice and David are wonderful warm folks that welcome you every time you play.

The condition of the cart paths is an embarrassment. The greens were recently aerated so the balls would jump across the green with every putt. I understand this is only temporary and will improve, but just as your ball bounces across the greens, your cart will do the same down the cart path.

This course is a great little gem here in Knoxville. I wish it were better funded.

Alice keeps the best deli in Knoxville! Her hot dogs are spot on! If it weren’t for the staff, I would just drive to another course.

Great course

Enjoyed playing this course yesterday. I've only been playing for 3 years and I actually played better this year than I did last year on this course. Everyone was friendly. The greens had been aeriated a week or two ago so they were still bumpy but the clubhouse had a sign up reminding everybody. If you've never played here, I would recommend this course in a heartbeat.

Greens are in tough shape

greens need to be resurfaced, fairways are in good condition and wide open. Would have been better if slower players had the courtesy to let faster players to play through.

Greens are ruined! Crab grass everywhere!

We love coming to play here, it's about a hour drive for my foursome. The guy in the clubhouse is Willie and he's is what every person at check in should be! Always in a great mood and very friendly! The course was full green, rough was playing rough as it should, but the greens are awful! The crabgrass had overrun them and they are in real danger of losing several greens! This has happened in the last two months and is really bad, I'd felt better if they were rarified than the mess they were in, $35 is way too much to pay for this current condition! When theirs prestige courses just a short drive away, we won't be back anytime soon!

Great morning on a fun course!

We had a great time and were the first group off so pace of play was great! The guy who greeted us was very friendly and his hospitality is one reason we came back again. My only complaint was that the rough was overgrown and has lots of rocks, hit it in the fairway and you're golden, but good luck finding it in the rough!

Slow round

Took approximately 5 hours to play 18 holes, which is an hour longer than we normally play. Main reason was there was tournament that morning and the tournament groupings were slow. Plus it did not help that 3 to 4 groups who started before our tee time were extremely slow. Overall though this is a nice course and enjoy playing the course.
