Hidden Gem

This was a great course located just outside of Knoxville. The unique holes and course layout make it special. My only complaint was the pace of play..5 hour round on a Thursday morning.

Great course

Beautiful setting along a river with lots of elevation. Tee boxes, fairboxes and greens in good shape, especially with the late frosts this year.

All the staff is super friendly! ! !

Love the course!

Overpriced

I do enjoy the layout and love the zoysia fairways. Greens were in pretty good shape but extraordinary slow. Teed off at 8:30 on a Sunday. No food ready at the turn. It appeared the girl working the turn shack was just getting there. I would play here more often but I can play courses at least equal to this one for much less than $71. Maybe they are counting on tourist playing here. would say in today’s golf world it should be about a $50 round.

Pace of play

I will not play this place if it’s above 70 degrees bc of how long it takes. You will be waiting 20 minutes between each hole. Great course though

Slow Day

Foursome in front of us wouldn’t let us go Making for an hour longer round. The ranger saw but would not do anything about it due to the course not being crowded on this day Also unhappy that the silver card we purchased guaranteed a rate for Monday thru Friday They now have made Friday a weekend rate and don’t honor the silver card That’s he bad The good is they have a great group of guys and gal The course is continually being worked on Grass is greening up Paly it you will not be disappointed

shag carpet greens

the greens were in need of attention. the fact we had to reserve and pay extra to do so through an ap was disappointing. by the time you pay for the tee time through the ap you pay more than the course was worth. $75.00 after the fees. this course at best is worth $39.00 in the condition it was in.
