not a good value

I used to really like this course for $15. It's just under $30 now for a par 3 course. The greens have been in horrible shape all year. The fairways are average at best. I'm good with those conditions for a discounted price. I would rather play a resort course like Woodlake for $5 more. I love the location. Easy access to alot of good restaurants and breweries nearby.

Greens were a little rough

Fun par three course. The multiple tee boxes let us use different clubs so that was nice. Greens had some bad spots but otherwise it was fun

Super Fun

Very fun course to play. Not real hard for a beginner but still some challenges for a more experienced player. Good variety of holes. Scenic. Greens were not in the best shape. Overall a very fun round.

Challenging little par 3 course.

The short fairways are tight adding to the challenge. The pace of play was a little slow and even though there didn’t seem to be that many cars in the lot it was pretty stacked up. I’ve not played many par 3’s though so I am assuming that is the nature of the beast. It was a pretty course with some nice scenery almost forgot I was 10 minutes from downtown Knoxville. The staff were friendly and the GPS golf carts were nice. If I’m back in Knoxville with some more time i will definitely play there again! They had just aerated the greens and they were a little patchy but overall smooth and fast. They were not too hard to read for the most part, but did provide a nice challenge to putt on. Good course to work on the short game and a few holes you can even pull the long irons or a 3 wood.

One of the best Par 3 courses I have played

My son is in college in Knoxville so we have played the course a couple of different times. Both experiences have been great. I think I paid around $50 for the two of us to ride 18. Greens are large and extremely fast. I will play this course any chance I get!

Course Conditions

Williams Creek is an enjoyable course to play. The green fees are very reasonable and the staff is friendly and helpful. The tee boxes and fairways are plush and are as good or better than many courses I have played in the area.

However, several of the greens are unsatisfactory and should be refurbished. There are to many bare spots on several greens and are not up to the standards of rest of the course. Hopefully, this can be corrected in the near future.

Overall, I do enjoy the course and plan to play again. I would recommend.

Great Par 3

I played this course twice over the last 2 weeks. First time playing in over 16 years. Great course to work out all the kinks and knock the rust off. Looking forward to playing it again.
