Greens looked almost dead

Not sure what happened but the greens had little to no grass on them. A lot of the rough has died as well. Hopefully Whittles can make a comeback now that it’s warm.

Thanks for your review. We have champion bermuda greens and they are just now coming out of dormancy due to the cooler spring temperatures. We have seen a lot of improvement in the last few weeks and we expect excellent course conditions again this summer and beyond.

Great value

The course layout is really tight.

They had just sanded the greens (maintenance is always happening) and some of the forward (red) tee boxes were mostly dirt.

This course is better than several of the courses we played last winter in North Central Florida.

We will definitely play here again.

Worse maintained course I've ever played on

Wow! Knoxville Park & Rec (or whoever funds this course) doesn't know how to maintain a course (or simply doesn't care) Painted, hard, unmanageable greens that don't play like a real course. Fairways that are basically dirt (told me it was dry but they apparently don't ever water in off season. Fairways covered with water & unmanaged water markings. Tees set up strangely on several holes. Poorly marked. What a mess!

Will never be playing there again as long as Alex is employed there

Was treated very unfairly by the staff. I have played there many times and will never be booking through Golf Now or Whittle springs again. I am okay spending more money at a course where I am more valued as a player and a customer.

Horrible golf course

It was not worth five dollars to play. We pay 23 a horrible deal.

Green's need WORK

Never in my life have a played a course where balls are basically designed to roll off the green. The greens are like putting on glass, and MULTIPLE times, my playing partner and I had 3 or 4 foot putts just barely miss the cup and slowly roll all the way OFF the green... It was like nothing I've seen before. Something must be done about those putting surfaces.
