Well designed, poorly maintained.

If you get a discounted tee time it’s worth it. At retail it’s overpriced with greens in poor condition, lack of amenities.

Could be much betwr

Very over priced for the condition of the course. Not sure when the greens were cut last but they were the slowest and fuzziest I’ve ever played. Most bunkers were in need of sand and better drainage. Fairways weren’t too bad and tee boxes ok although not real level. Was visiting from Cincinnati so first time on this course. This compares to a $25 country course in the Cincinnati area. Will never pay $49 to play here again.

The greens mower has been fixed and we apologize for the height and lack of speed. The heat stress is on its way to repair but it will be a few more weeks. Sorry for any inconvenience. MGMT

Haven’t played the course in about 5 years and wish I had never played today. I don’t know what happened to this place the past 5 years, but it is absolutely TERRIBLE. They should have paid us to show up. I will never go back and it’s a shame because it used to be a great track. Don’t waste your time or money, play in your back yard instead.

Such a sad sad situation

I live less than 5 minutes from this course and it really saddens me to see what it is devolving into.. I played here on Fathers Day because Henry Horton was overbooked. It appears to me with every passing year the company that owns this course has no intention of putting forth any effort or money to make it a better experience for its patrons. Their greens that aren't fast at all are in major distress and most everyone of them is near terminal. I know bent grass isn't optimal in TN heat but this has happened every year for the past 3 years. Do you even employ a greenskeeper? Too add the bridge over the creek at the 18th tee has been washed out for I don't know how long and it appears there is no plans to repair it. I can deal with all the weeds in the fairways but the greens make it a big no for me. Again it is really sad because I have seen this course in much better shape but it just seems the owners are in no mind of investing in our local course. Thank goodness there are other viable options close to Spring Hill.

Arnold Palmer is rolling over in his grave

Wow has this course been ruined over the years. Greens are absolute crap, burned out, diseased and so bumpy you can putt. Tee Boxes look like the rough and the sand traps are dirt holes. This course had been declining for years and is at the Rock Bottom. You wanna know the worse thing, they don’t even sell Arnold Palmer drinks at the course?

Save your money and play in a local cow pasture.

Worth playing if you live near

My buddies and I played King's Creek Saturday afternoon 6/20/2020, and it hadn't rained in 2 weeks. I got a "Hot Deal" for $32 a head, and it's definitely worth that price on a weekend. The greens were obviously in rough shape due to inability to mow and I guess nobody that plays there fixes their divots. Each hole plays great with trouble looming and a lot of bunkers. No putting green really, but the range was good. There's no markers on each hole showing you what the hole looks like, and no descriptions on the scorecard, which made the course difficult for a first timer. I will play it again if the price is right, but there's no reason to pay $50 or drive very far to play it.

Worst Greens in town

Book elsewhere. What was once a gorgeous piece of property is now in such disrepair that on most holes, the greens are unplayable.

Profiting off Arnie

employee hospitality was outstanding but course was understaffed. Mid-June and only one person running the pro shop and kitchen. Course conditions very underwhelming and embarrassing at points. Course sells you on it being an Arnie design to get you to come out and charge extra for a course that’s less kept than a subpar Nashville muni. Great layout for what could be a fun course if they decide to invest in maintaining the property. Won’t be back before change of ownership.

The greens were the only disappointment on this course. They weren’t well kept, but the fairways were great. Just need more often course maintenance.

Course needs a lot of maintenance

Poorly kept greens, fairways were ok but had weeds all over the place. Too expensive for the condition the course was in this time of year.

Needs Help

Course has the layout to be good. They should have a goldmine on their hands. Lack of course maintenance seems to be getting worse instead of better. They are charging more than last year and don’t reinvest any of it in taking care of the course. I hope they can turn it around but there doesn’t appear to be any effort to do so.

Not Worth The Money

It’s unfortunate that an interesting design is ruined be poor maintenance. There were more weeds than grass from tee to green. The conditions imply that the owner is trying to squeeze every penny out of the property before they sell it. Mr. Palmer would not approve.

Great place to play

Kings Creek is a fun course to play. Course has a lot of sand traps and a creek running through the course. Staff is top notch. My only complaint is the greens are really slow.

great layout need some TLC

great layout and somewhat challenging. course needs a little TLC but greens are in good shape. one of the most hardest 1st holes you will play. Need to play this course a second time to know what side of fairway you need to be on. worth about 30 dollars, wouldn't pay much more than that. Friendly staff.

Kings Creek course

Greens rated 5 out of 10. Greens were scalped and putting on dirt. Tee boxes had no grass. All approaches to greens requires a high shot since the front of the greens have sand bunkers. Yardages were 10 yards farther. So be sure to bring your laser

Clubhouse only serves hot dogs so bring a cooler. Staff inside was super helpful but starter needs attitude adjustment so beware.
