Great day!

I shot a 98 and I'm happy anytime I break 100. Other than the greens being rough the course was great. A couple joined us to make it even a better day.

Excellent course design, beautiful natural areas

Good pace of play in spite of heavy traffic. There are a lot of areas left natural (tall native grasses), so you will almost certainly lose some balls on this course, but it definitely makes for a prettier than average course.
The number nine tee should have markers listing distance to carry over the hazard and distance to the end of the fairway -- it is a difficult shot to plan.

Don't have tournament and offer tee times.

They had a tournament in the morning and it delayed our tee time by 1/2 hour. Other than that the course is in great condition.

Good design, visually stimulating, challenging but accessible.

We got an amazing price around mid-day and couldn't pass it up. Overall, the course was in pretty good shape. They were replacing/repairing sod in quite a few areas. It seems that something has damaged many of the course's turfgrass in Middle Tennessee this year. This location was no different, but the conditions were more than playable. It did not affect my ability to play or change my enjoyment level whatsoever. I thought the greens were nice, although terribly soft. So much so that it made it hard to adequately repair them. (Several approach shots embedded.) And not enough people were even trying. There were many bad marks and "divots" in all the greens. Please people, carry a tool and fix your marks! Haven't played there in a couple of years, but it seems they've changed from the white fluffy "Tour" sand to the same brown, crunchy stuff everybody else has. No big deal, but it was more fun to play out of the easy stuff. Especially since there's so much of it there. Bring your best sand game! People were friendly enough. Grill was okay. They could use some more options. Kinda slim pickings. Bring nose plugs for the back nine. It seems there's a sewage treatment plant directly next to a few holes back there. WOW! Only real design flaw I could see, or uh SMELL. I'll still come back. But I'll have some stogies ready for all on the back. ;-) All in all, KC is a well designed, beautiful place to play golf. Very visually stimulating on many holes. With some work, it could be really wonderful.

Excellent recovery from winter kill

Course was in great condition considering winter kill middle TN experienced this past winter. Staff has done a great job getting fairways back into playable condition. Those who play however need to start repairing ball marks, if your going to play the game then respect the game. Will play again

Solid Track

I played here over a year ago in the early spring, so it was nice to see the grass come in (well the grass that wasn't affected by the horrible winter).
The greens were recently punched, we weren't told this upon checking in.
There is a good mixture of holes including my favorite, #9 which is a drivable par 4. The par 3's on the back are long and the par 5's involve water.
The meandering creek is peaceful although it can catch a ball easily. It would be nicer if the thick vegetation were cut down to enjoy the creek more.

Great rolling greens

Course still needed some work, which I knew about before playing. The best part of the course was the greens, they were in very good shape & rolled true. About half of the fairways were nice, the others were bare in places.

Great course

The course and staff was great. Still working on some of the fairways. Like everywhere they had a bad winter. I really enjoy the course. Will be glad in a fee weeks when the fairways are back open. The ground crew is working extremely hard. And in a few weeks it will be a amazing course.

Great course but some huge disappointments

The good:
The par 5's at 16 and 17 are absolutely beautiful and I would play those holes any day and any time. I love the sand traps. Usually, fairway bunkers are placed where the amateur golfer doesn't have to strategically play to avoid them but at this course, there were many holes where I had to make decisions on the tee box. I believe it is hole 11, par 4, bunkers at 220 yards on right and the fairway dog legs to the right behind the bunkers. To the left of the bunkers is the 150 pole and fairway, behind the bunker, is plenty of fairway and you are left with an 80 yard wedge shot into the green if you can clear the bunkers and roll 40-50 yards.

The bad:

I play par 3 and par 4 courses often because my short iron game is the worse part of my game. When I go to a full length course, it's to combine all phases for a well rounded experience. 7 of the 18 holes were par 3's with a couple of par 4's playing so close that they could be long par 3's. Needles to say I hit 8 and 9 irons a lot for my 2nd shots.

I understand that the winter was very cruel to the course and it left some fairways unplayable. The staff did communicate well so I wasn't completely disappointed when we arrived at the holes.

Overall, the course is beautiful enough and challenging enough to come back. The many par 3's and short par 4's might keep me away if I have to pay full price.

Winter damage is still prevalent throughout the course.

Many fairways still exhibit the results of the harsh winter. Sand traps are sand less and need extensive repairs. Greens are coming back but still needs some TLC.

Working Progress

I have played King's Creek before and have always like it...challenging course...as everyone can see who has played it this year that it is in rough shape at the current moment. The main reason is because of the work that they are doing trying to grow the 4 or 5 fairways back in (atleast they are working on the problem)...They flooded 5 times this winter which has not helped their situation...staff is always great and the price is always just right...

Give it a couple of weeks and that course will be back in great shape...it is real close...they told me they will be detailing the bunkers and mowing the sprigged fairways this week so I am excited to come back next week

great course

Great course! Obviously, like most courses here in middle Tennessee, the fairways are hurting. I noticed the last time I was playing there that the fairways were being worked on. If I remember correctly there were only 6 fairways that we're being worked on and they were only cart path only. With the harsh winter and the flooding this course has had it is still in good shape! If you are someone that is expecting perfect fairways so it makes your shot easier and not challenging then this course is not for you right now. Overall the course is great and fun! Greens are great and people are friendly!

King's Creek Review

Course in very bad condition. Looks like they might be going out of business. I would not recommend playing this course in the condition it's in now.

We appreciate the concern with the conditions of the golf course. Just like all other golf courses in the Middle, TN area we were hit with 5 floods and extremely heavy winter kill this past winter.

Over the past month we have sprigged 5 of our fairways in order to grow the bare spots back which will cause temporary pain but longer term gain. Our sprigged fairways should be fully grown in by mid August so we hope to see you out here again.

We have had to pick and choose our battles but hope to be back to normally King's Creek conditions in 3 weeks. For the time being we hope everyone enjoys our discounted $25 meal deal rate on golf now!
