Good value with GolfNow at King's Creek

Got a great rate on a last minute tee time. The course was in good condition and the greens rolled very true. There were some difficult holes and some easy ones but overall a good track. Better golfers should play it from one of the two sets of back tees. Water in the form of creeks and lakes and a fair number of shots over them. There are also bunkers in play but these obstacles make golf a good challenge at this course.

Winter greens are great

The best part of Kings Creek in winter is that the greens stay green! Since they're not Bermuda they don't go dormant and turn into dinner plates for holding shots or putting.

Course is in very good condition. Pace of play is normally good but occasionally slow. Greens are better than most in the Nashville area.

great layout

Guys in pro shop was helpful and got me on the course early. The course has a nice mix of sort and long holes with some that are unique like #9. Greens rolled great. Only bad thing I seen is they don't have a chipping/pitching green only a range and putting green to warm up on.

Nice course with very friendly starters and marshals.

The fairways were fine, but the greens needed attention. There were large divots that had not been repaired. Not necessarily the golf course's fault, but this caused the ball to stop at times on the greens. People were not taking time to repair the greens apparently. The greens were very fast on this day.

Not a bad course if you get a deal through golfnow. I would NOT pay the full price that they ask for a round of golf at this place.

Excellent course, great condition, lots of bunkers but well maintained

Enjoyed my round, first time I've played this course and will return. Greens are undulating and a challenge. The only thing this course needs is yardage markers, they are few and far between, this needs to be addressed asap. Otherwise an excellent experience.

Fun course, lots of moguls and creeks

I had fun playing this course. I am an average golfer and found it more challenging than some of the easier courses I've played. Would have loved to see more yardage markers and signage, and the day we played there was apparently a large group in the morning, so by 2:00 when we made the turn they were out of the 5 sandwiches and brats, only hot dogs left. Friendly though, will be back.

Great course for the right Deal

A great course, with challenging holes and a fun layout. Not sure it is worth the regular rate just due to all the other great courses in the Nashville area for less money but a great value when you use golfnow.

If you like a tough course, this is a good value.

Played in October, twice. A Palmer-designed course. King's Creek and tributaries run through the property, and the golfer will have several tee shots where a missed drive will not clear the creek, and others where water is beside the hole or comes into play in front of the green. Today, a cool day, course was not full and play was fairly quick for our threesome/foursome; helped somewhat by speedy, gas carts. A good-sized range on grass. A mix of elevated and at--grade greens. Quite a bit of sand, both fairway and around the greens. Overall nice greens, faster than most publicly accessible courses. I'd say you need to be thinking on this course, or be very straight not to get in trouble somewhere. Clubhouse seemed rather cramped; that's my only negative.

like the terrain changes...

Glad to see this course get a little more play. It's got more character than it's nearest competitors. Bent grass greens are generally in great shape...and the course allows walkers any time. That's a big deal to many golfers. Walkers do not slow down play!

Only minor complaint is that a lot of the local players don't feel a need to rake bunkers or fix pitch marks!

Great late summer conditions

The course was well maintained. The greens had recently been punched, but were very well maintained. The only criticism is on the tee boxes - bring a hammer if you want to be able to set your tee; the ground was too hard.
