Good course, views of river

Some tight fairways, but overall was fair. Par 3's are set up at good yardages, makes for enjoyable shots. River winds throug course, but rarely comes into direct play. Views are great, greens were smooth.

Great layout and value

It was a rainy day but the course was in great shape. A little muddy in the rough but that was to be expected. Greens were smooth and true and the fairways were in great shape.

Nice practice area and the starter was really good.

Only complaint was there was no water to drink on the course and the halfway house was closed.

On Point

Great round of golf on a perfect day. Friendly and very helpful staff at check in and start of the round. Course was in great shape and fairways are starting to green up nicely. I definitely recommend this course and worth the drive out to Kodak, TN.
