Beautiful Views and Immaculate Conditions
I have played this course 50+ times through the summer to now. It is a true challenge of your game. Greens roll great and ball sits up on every fairway with the zoysia grass. I will always recommend this course highly and will continue to play it very often as it is my favorite layout in the area by far.
Great value
The course was in good condition considering it is late December. We never had to wait to hit a shot and played in 3 1/2 hours.
Excellence layout
Always enjoy playing this course..graet scenery and enough challenges for intermediste golfers. Staff is always very friendly....
Sand traps need work...mainly dirt... lacking in food .selections.
Still one of my favorite courses in the knoxville area.
Beautiful course
This course is very scenic with the river views. It is in great condition and play is challenging. From the forward tees, it is an enjoyable day of golf.
Enjoyed the round but course needs maintenance
Too many leaves and limbs on the course and the bunkers. Lost a golf ball in the leaves on #9. Need to get away from using Bermuda grass on the greens.
Great course
Everything is in good shape for this time of the year. A little wet from the rains. Only issue was the amount of leaves on the course. Not the courses fault though. Had rain most of the week before. Great course. Will play again.
Great day at river island
It was a beautiful day. the course was in great shape. only thing I needed was to hit the ball better. it was a wonderful day on the golf course.
Beautiful Course
The course layout is beautiful. Conditions were great for the price.. Employees were courteous and informative.
Great course, clubhouse and amenities are lacking
If you can’t tell from the title, course is in great shape, loved the layout and yardages. Clubhouse was below par and restrooms on course were a little dirty. I would love to play in warmer conditions and after playing once now! Would recommend the course, but go with caution!
Beautiful river course
The zoysia fairways are unbelievable and the champion Bermuda greens were great .Unique course layout I really enjoyed my round
Wow !
I played River Islands today for the first time and all I can say is WOW!
This course is in excellent condition, both the fairways and the greens. The layout is moderately challenging, but fair. Many of the greens are multi-tiered and/or have a lot of contouring and slopes, so well placed approach shots can be crucial to avoid three or more putts. They are smooth and roll true, but accurate shot placement is important.
A special shout-out to Dave in the Pro Shop. He made us feel like family who was in town for a reunion. When we checked in he took the time to chat and give us some local knowledge tips that were invaluable.
I can hardly wait until the next time we are in the area on vacation so I can play River Islands again.
The course is in fantastic shape. Greens are beautiful. The only issue was with fire ants on some of the tee boxes.
Wonderful time
Played this course while on vacation in the smokies, excellent course and had a great time.
Good public course..
One of my favorite courses in the Knoxville area.
Excellent layout....fairways and greens in very good condition.....traps need attention...
Value & Quality
Played 8-27 & 8-28-18. Yes, the cart paths are not smooth everywhere and the sand traps need some more sand - that's the only negatives. However, if you want a very good course with excellent, zoysia fairways and superb bermuda greens, this is your course. Tees are good, too. Rough is high enough to punish a shot that misses the fairway, but not too high. Friendly staff, nice scenery, and very, fair price. The positives FAR outweigh imperfect cart paths and thin sand traps.
