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.

Kings Creek

This course is very well maintained ,rolling hills with some water in play and it is not easy but not unfair and I enjoy playing there and will play it again. Staff is friendly and they have nice snack bar. I'm a senior and play mostly on weekdays and the pace of play is great. My friends that played with me enjoyed playing the course also.

Potential Without Promise

Convenient location in Spring Hill. Course layout is generally inviting and intriguing. Short Par 4s and reachable Par 5s make things fun and interesting. The course itself, however, is poorly maintained. Extremely hard fairways make taking divots difficult (played under hot, dry conditions), greens fast but lack movement, bunkers poorly maintained. Tough to pancake shots out of green-side bunkers. Short course with 8 Par 3s.

Nice layout, poor drainage

We played on a day where we had a short rain delay. There were many places afterwards that held water, both fairways and greens. Bentgrass greens were great to play on if you can get people to treat the correctly and repair their ball and spike marks.
I would still play the course again.

Breath-taking views and lots of fowl and other beautiful wild-life!

Wonderful shot-making course! Decisions were never easy but clear after playing again. Laid out with typical Palmer sand traps galore but flood took many out in 2010. Liked the two par 3s within the first four holes and the par fives were tricky but not treacherous. Great course!

Beautifully laid out with scenic views of the "mountains".

With the rain having stopped for a few days and the weather finally heating up to TN standards, the greens were in good condition and there was plenty of water to drink on this hot/humid day. Liked the rocky-top feature of many of the "roughs". The silos give it that "homey" Americana feel, too.

great course

this course has come a long way, although there are still some cosmetics needed; some of the paths between holes, landscaping. the course deserves a better club house, too. overall, it is a great course to play.

Course very well maintained. Fairways in pristine shape.

Course in the best shape I've seen in 5 years. Staff is very polite. Course drained pretty well considered the downpour it took on 24 hrs earlier. Greens would be better if more players repaired divots. No fault of grounds crew.

first time ever playing here and loved it.

The only thing was a storm just went through so half of the range was under water, and a couple of holes were too but I really enjoyed playing here and will return.

Great for all experience levels. The average player can stick to the member teas or step back to the champion or Palmer teas for a more challenging round.

This course was in terrible condition given the great weather middle TN has experienced this summer.

Where to start? This golf course was in terrible condition given the mild summer we are experiencing in middle TN. The greens were slow, bumpy, and generally speaking in bad shape. There were also spots in the rough where the grass clippings were so thick you could not find your ball. For the $40 greens fee this golf course was not worth it and I will not be back.

The fairways and greens are in great shape.

During my round, the ranger was constantly delivering ice cold towels and grapes to keep us refreshed. One had enjoyed seeing the service cart a bit more frequently.

Great Course.

Really enjoyed playing this course for the first time, will definitely be back. Course was in great shape although I wouldn't have minded the greens being slightly quicker. It's a nice length from the back tees and plenty of tee shots that will make you think twice about pulling out the driver.

Well designed course at an incredible price

This was my first time playing this course and I was beyond impressed. The course was beautifully designed and very challenging, but it definitely inspired some great play. Lots of sand so beware! One of my favorite parts was on two different holes they had coolers set out, one with cold crisp apples for a quick snack and then on hole 14 they had towels sitting in ice that you could wipe your face with or put around your neck. On a hot tennessee summer day this was an incredible surprise. Loved it. I will be going back very very soon!!!!

Can be Challenging

King's Creek is an excellent course, which can be challenging but playable, for both the talented and newer players. Be prepared for some "forced carries" off the tee, but multiple tee locations will determine the skill needed. Can be fun for all skill levels.
