Most Improved Award

Towhee formerly known as Kings Creek is the winner of the “most improved” golf course in TN as voted by me. This track has been in bankruptcy as far as I know for the last 3 or so yrs. it got bought last year by some folks who are fully invested in turning it into a 5star course. If you’ve played here over the yrs you may know how it went from decent course to goat path and now on its way to excellence. The 100% rebuilt greens are already fantastic and rolling very true. They will only get better with time. The layout has always been good and now the conditions will match. All new sand in the bunkers and starting construction on an epic clubhouse. Spring Hill golfers rejoice Towhee is here to fill the void of quality golf in our town! No longer need to drive 30-60 min to find a quality round!

On It's Way

A couple years ago Kings Creek was an embarrassment. Truly terrible conditions, Weeds growing in the bunkers. Greens tore up. The only 18 hole course within a 15 mile radius with an Arnold Palmer design left a lot to be desired.

The Towhee Club is trying to erase all of that. It will take time. The clubhouse has been torn down and currently have a set up in a trailer. Some of the greens still have bald spots close to the fringe, and a few of the tee boxes need to be re-built to flatten them out.

On the positive side, the greens roll really well. Fairways were great. They took out several bunkers and the ones they have left, have great sand.

After tax, 18 holes w/ cart on the weekend was $61. Still pricey for no clubhouse, and some chewed up greens. Overall, I will probably play here 1x/month, given the price point. Henry Horton will continue to be my go-to.

Love the course

Kings Creek (now Towhee Golf Course) is definitely well on the road back to greatness. The entire course has been rehabilitated from the greens to the fairways, rough, and especially the bunkers. They are repairing the bridge on the 18th hole that was washed out a couple of years ago, and they are in the process of building a new pavilion and clubhouse. Towhee is on the way to becoming one of the best golf courses in Central Tennessee. I love Towhee Golf Course (even though it will probably always be Kings Creek to me)

Too expensive for the shape it’s in.

Should be giving people some sort of discounted rate. Greens are great , yes. But everywhere else not very good shape at all. Shouldn’t be charging full price. Not sure if I can come back until...

A. Course is in much much better shape (for the price we paid)

B. Price is overall lowered. Should be $40-45. Not $62

Loving the progress

I’ve played this course intermittently for about two years now. Always loved the layout but pace of play, condition of the greens, and issues with water and drainage always overshadowed the design. This was my first time back since they’ve re-opened and greens are night and day difference. Bermuda is still coming in and I know they intend have them fully ready for summer. Loving how it’s coming along. Also very intrigued by the new clubhouse blueprints and intended layout. Hoping that things stay the course continue to improve because this course has always had fantastic potential! Keep up the good work, trust me, people are noticing and I’ve had some discussions during the course of other rounds at different locations and the buzz is certainly positive!

Course is improving.

New ownership is getting the course in better shape. The greens looked to be recovering from some neglect, but probably not much they can do until spring. Even with less than ideal greens, the fairways and course layout made for an enjoyable round.
