Whittle Springs Golf Course

Course was undergoing major renovation. Some holes were closed, but more should have been. Most fairways were extremely muddy. It was cart path only.

This was my second time playing the course because I thought I should give it another chance. Boy was I wrong. Made my reservation online and eagerly showed up to the course the next day. I arrive to find out that 4 HOLES ARE CLOSED that day. Nothing was posted about hole closures. I know they were working on the cart paths, but I had been told by another golfer that they had finished them up. The course is still in complete disarray with mud everywhere. Several of the Tee boxes looked almost looked like a sand bunker. Not a blade of grass in sight. The regular daily tournament goers do not respect other new golfers to the course. On top of all of that, the poorly executed parking area resulted in another one of the daily tournament guys running into my car with a golf cart as I tried to leave. I...will.....never....return.

A friend and I purchased a round of golf here for today. There were no indications of hole closings or bad conditions. Four holes were closed. We got a decent deal at 15$ plus taxes and fees, but they shouldve had an asterisk next to all tee times today. Almost all of the tee boxes were in terrible shape along with most of the fairways. One good thing I can say is that the greens are coming in nicely.

Good thing - New Cart paths
Bad things - the construction stuff everywhere.
Some Fairways are dead grass.
Greens are in Average condition.
Glad they are fixin it up. I'd wait to play it again.

The cart paths are under construction, but it does not affect play at all, and they have the rate super cheap due to the construction. Greens were excellent! Play a lot for cheap while it lasts!

This is a nice course and an excellent value. Loved the layout of the course. Very friendly staff.

If your are a average or better golfer then stay away. Several players with jeans on, several teams with 5 players and so slow we didn't finish our round, instead we left. Last time I'll play the course.

I think the staff was nice and friendly, the greens are excellent every last one of them. I will say some of the rough.....WAS WAY ROUGH and not giving in the least, other than that I loved it and will be back more.

This was our first time to play since the switch to bermuda greens. They were a little bit slow but very smooth. Surprisingly good. We played the ball as it lies and could not complain about any lies. We actually played in 3 hours and let 3 groups play through. I will definitely play it again!

Fun fast paced a good challenge yet easy. Would play anytime I get a chance

From reading the card I knew this was one of Knoxville's oldest courses. It has an interesting layout where the entire course is contained in a fence, clubhouse is catty corner to the course. When we played they had cut temporary greens about 150 yds short of original greens which made this course super easy. Due to the ruggedness of the greens we played a two putt rule. The greens they are building look fantastic though and I really want to come back when they are in. Signage at the clubhouse says greens should be open for play in September, I plan on coming back in the spring to try them out!

All holes shortened with new greens being conditioned, and this gives you the temporary/horrific playable greens as your only choice....bottom line barely playable

Went on a Sunday with my Dad and broke a 100 for first time!! So great day all away around. Course was in great shape as well.

After being falsy accused of making divots by an employee we were kicked out. The employee didn't even see it, but accused us because we were the only younger golfers there and weren't regulars. The employees were very rude when asking them about it and just said that we were the only ones that would do it.

Great price! Some narrow fairways, lots of trees makes it challenging. Not much water or sand, but nice course. Staff very friendly.

Course is short, but challenging! Great tee shots don't always end up great, so plan accordingly off the tee boxes. Overall, great value and a fun place to play!

This being the first time I have played this year I played terrible,but the course was great ,the weather was fair ,and we just enjoyed being out there on the course.

A good place for the discount on golf now. A lot of older guys play here a lot. Like a hang out. Course was rain soaked. Still not bad for first of season warm up. Shop did let us off back 9 to get ahead of group. Rusty is good.

Love to play the course, hate the people who play the daily tournament.I think its the same guys for the past 30yr. We { 3 some} started out fine but by the 3rd hole we were behind the infamous Whittles five-some daily tournament then on the ninth hole we tee off one us hits the best drive of his life and you guessed it lands on the green,so we drove up words were exchange he said he was sorry and one guy from there group says hes the superintendent of the course.So i asked him why he was playing a five-some.He said it was a tournament and they were gambling{that makes it better} so i told him he should know better or let people play through.We all go to hole ten at the same time and they start teeing off. This is why you don't play whittles lady's and gentlemen.

This course had the worst greens I have ever tried to play on.
