Lewisburg Recreation Center

If you're first-time playing golf this is the place to do it.

Great price not a very challenging course but if you are a beginner and you want to practice on a course this place is great for that.

This course is a great value, but don’t expect great service from the staff. When we checked in, the young lady at the desk couldn’t even bother to take off her head phones or greet us, and she barely acknowledged we were there. She seemed annoyed we were there. At the end of the day, I tried to acknowledge the help of one of the mowing crew who rushed over to help when my wife fell on the course, but the young man just grunted and said ok. Not sure who or where the leadership is at the Rec Center, but there is obviously very little of it. Not the Tennessee I know. Felt like I was back in New England.

As for the course, I would rate it fair. Greens were in good condition - fairways not so much (to be expected at a Muni course). It was a good challenge for beginner to intermediate golfers. Pretty wide open with plenty of forgiveness for mistakes off the tee or on approach (heck, this was the first time in my life I played the entire day with the same ball).

Bottom Line: we’ll go back for the value and the good pace of play even for beginners.

It’s a 9 hole course so to play 18 you have to play it twice, both times around groups in front of me hitting 2-3 balls at a time every shot showing the pace of play up and no golf etiquette, nobody offered the faster smaller groups to play through. Groups hitting multiple balls and then spending too much time looking for their ball and then hitting multiple balls again is just ridiculous!

Stopped by to play nine before heading to work in Nashville good value course for nine holes if you play 18 you just double up on the nine I had a set of ladies in front of me playing the tee off at my 820 tee time. I wasn’t even in the tea box yet and a man behind me started rushing me asked me when I was going to tee up. I pointed to the ladies and he shrugged his arms. The man continue to play into me. the whole time I was there. I finally jumped a hole and he never caught up. There seem to be what I thought was a Marshall running around, but nothing ever occurred with him. Hole 8 tea box ground was so hard. You couldn’t even get a tea into it.

Course was in very nice shape. Rate of play was terrible. Singles and couples. All backed up. No one wanted to join up and play together. Left course after 14 holes.
