Usually very nice course, not close right now

A strong storm come through the night before we played so the course had a lot of standing water but still 90*. The driving range was closed because of the rain. There were several tee boxes and fairways that had basically no grass & just a mud hole all over. The greens, getting punched 3/30/20, were in good shape even though they were shaggy & very slow. The bunkers were pretty much unplayable throughout the entire course. We arrived at the course 40 mins early to check in & were told we are too early so don't think about going off early, we planned on range/putting so of course we were early. I would not go back to pay $42 in the shape the course is in right now. Great sunny & 70 weather when we played.

Kings Creek

A well designed but poorly maintained course with limited amenities. At normal rates it’s overpriced but when discounted it’s a good value.

Due to changes in ownership and loss of membership it has limited play which is a plus. Can play 18 in 3.5 hours.

Great Course!

Played here on March 19, 2020. It had rained the night before so cart path only, but this did not take away from the course. Greens were nice and green, and ball rolled nicely! Fairways were still in winter dormancy, but will grow in soon. Nice mix of par 3, 4, and 5’s with creeks, water, and woods. Beautiful! Friendly guy in clubhouse and steady pace of play. Will definitely return!

Always enjoyed the layout. The course can occasionally give me fits. It needs some updates to the infrastructure. A bridge was down due to a storm. There were a lot of bare spots on the course.

I haven’t played here in years.

This is a challenging layout. A shot makers course.

It was in great shape for late November. Greens rolled true. .

Course was in overall better shape this time. Sand traps had been repaired. Some of the traps could use a little more sand. Greens are just average in my opinion. Folks need to fix ball marks.

First Time Playing

The tees, greens and fairways were in good shape. It was my first time playing the course and it has some very interesting holes that I enjoyed very much. The bunker complexes are very well designed. However, the sand traps themselves were completely unplayable. There is NO EXCUSE for the condition of the sand traps. I suggest a couple of maintenance guys and a rake or two would be in order.Also, there is no need to close the driving range ALL DAY on Mondays to pick up balls. That is absolutely ridiculous.

Kong’s Creek is still a beaut 7 years later

A friend and I played KC today and it was an overall awesome round. Course was open enough to swing away but also challenging in many aspects. The pin positions on scoring holes today were tough, but made for creative approaches. It’s been quite some time since we played here, but we will definitely be back, great course, great staff, enjoyable experience!

Great Course

The course is shaping up very nicely, the greens are in great shape, the bunkers were soft and easy to hit from, the fairways are well kept and the tee boxes were maintained. Definitely the best course i have played in the last several weeks. They also offer a military discount. The different tee boxes definitely make the course more interesting and more difficult to play making your game much sharper.

Great condition

1st time playing the course in almost 10 years & it is in great shape. Even after all the rain this week and cart path only, the course was very nice & not too muddy. Putting green & driving range were in great shape, the course was in even better shape!! Challenging but scoreable course if you play it in the right positions. We got a hot deal for about $21 so you can't beat that for a hour drive from Smyrna. We will definitely be back very soon, best course we have played so far this year.

Huge shout out to Jason and Warrior!!!

The course has been groomed and looks so much better this spring...new pro, Jason, and very positive vibes each time I am out there. It is a great value, so close to community where I live, and feels good to play and socialize there...many thanks to all for improved course grooming and general care. Look forward to a great summer of golf! Jason, the new pro, is so positive...always takes time to ask about your game and is very encouraging.

Great Day

I reserved a tee time and was a little late due to Church and the staff accommodated me great.They are always friendly and make me feel at home. I was randomly paired with a three some of guys and pace of play was great. My only criticism were the greens and sand traps. The weather this year has really done a number on those bent grass greens and hope they can get them back. The sand was hard and wet, due to rain and heat. I'm an avid golfer and love the layout of this course and wish the ownership would put more money into it, because it's a hiden gem. The only competition is Forrest Crossing and this course kills that layout. If they implemented a players club similar to Forrest Crossing, their revenue would triple. It's sad to see this course struggling and not being properly taken care of because it could be one of the best courses in the state.

Fast greens, course in OK shape

The course is a little burnt out and very firm. The greens rolled pretty fast, so make sure not to miss on the wrong side of the hole. I really like the layout of this course, but I have experienced similar conditions both times I've been here that make me feel that other courses in the area are a better value. There's not much to the clubhouse, if that is important to you.
