Difficult if not a local.

Loved the course as lots of running water as built around a river. Challenging for anyone especially if not a local resident. Difficult walk to greens from cart for older people like me (75). Fortunately I am not a local. A nice clubhouse would make this place top class.

Back to the way it was!

When I first move to the area 17 years ago this was the premier course in East Tennessee. It gradually went, down, down, down… now it’s back to its glory days and beyond!! Nice job, Dan!

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
