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.

Must visit when in area

I really enjoyed the scenery and greens were excellent. A couple of fairways need to fill in from winter but what a great course.

Sweet Layout

Very cool course design, loved the islands and bridges that connected the course. Excellent practice area with grass tees, chipping area and well maintained putting green. Pace of play was great despite a full parking lot, hardly noticed other groups on the course. Lots of distractions - water, trees, sand, forced carry, but easy to score well if you keep it down the middle. Played spring of 2023 - fairways and greens in great shape.

Poor new ownership

I booked a tee time on golf now. I have played this course many times in the past, but this is only the second time under the new ownership, which changes every 3-5 years. Around 7:00 while hitting our approach shots into the 16th hole, we were approached by the range and told that we had to pick up and head in. He said the course closes at 7. I had to pay online for the round at the course's request, and was not informed of this when they took my payment. We could have finished in 15 minutes. I will probably have to wait until the new owners sell the course until I play here again. I enjoy this course, but there are several in the area that are better and cost less.
