Williams Creek Golf Course

It really is the perfect par 3. Challenging greens, nice tee boxes, good price. I do wish they had someone double checking tee times and course play. I was stuck behind a lady and four children who were learning to play. Which is great… but they took my tee time and didn’t let me play through until the 5 hole. Worst part was they had a bucket of range balls that the boys were hitting and mostly loosing.

They advertise the course as the best par 3 in Tennessee and while I have not played them all, I would be surprised to find one better. The greens have always been challenging and well kept. Over the past year, they have totally revamped the tee boxes sand the course is really improved.

This is easily the nicest par 3 course I’ve ever played. Greens rolled great and the practice area has everything you need to get ready for the round.

This golf course is in very poor condition, little or no fairway, rough greens, I will not go back.

I love how supportive everyone is for kids learning to play. Two separate course employees stopped to cheer my kid on along the way I was very impressed.

Good par 3 course! Challenging and fun. Staff was very receptive. They have put in some good works on this course. Thank you and I will come back.

Very affordable. $19 for 18 with cart. Very nice par 3 course. Nice looking course. Pretty challenging

Highly recommend - I try to play every Knoxville visit.

Played Easter weekend ‘22 after a few years away from Knoxville, many trees and shrubbery have been cut since my last visit (2019), allows for much better views of the hills! New, elevated tee boxes + turf area in one corner of every tee box to allow play in most conditions (I played after a couple days of nonstop rain, no major issues). Turf section added to the driving range as well. Obviously grass is always better but in a climate like east TN, turf allows for practice and playing during and after rainfall.

Pros:

•Practice facilities - driving range, undulated putting green, pitching green + green side bunker, 3 practice holes for kids

•Pace of play - rarely experience slow play, very easy to play through if necessary.

•Layout + Difficulty - A great mix of hole lengths and challenges, many different shot types. Large greens + newly renovated and tee boxes allow for a great mixture of shot types.

•Greens - Large, natural undulated greens, allows for wide variety of pin placements + difficult long putts up and downhill. Generally played slow but it was a very wet day, rained all night before, I was surprised how well they played given the amount of rain.

•Value

Cons:

•Difficult to walk the course - Most walking done on cart paths, no great natural route from tee box to greens. Very hilly, you need to be active to walk, some holes could use a few stairs to assist even just getting from the cart path to the green.

•Clubhouse - Food + Bev options aren’t the best and the clubhouse is small

What happened to the wee course this used to be one of the best par 3s in the country. The course is in absolutely terrible shape. Have to tee off from mats and the greens are close to unputtable. Massive amount of divots and sand on green makes reading your putt impossible. So disappointed, used to be my favorite local course to go play a quick 18. Will not be returning.

I love this place. The conditions are great and the challenge is good but not too difficult. Pace of play is an issue at times. People need to be aware and considerate before they decide to look for a lots ball for 15 minutes.

I usually am very pleased to play this course. Great layout and tough greens. However, I was not pleased to have to tee off on mats attached to cement pads on all tee boxes. I felt like I was on range hitting balls. Could only hit from white tees. Not an option to play from any other tees. Plus, you can not hit ball very good on mat and ball will still go better than you hit it. I play a lot of different courses around Knoxville and I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN ANYWHERE ELSE. I will certainly make sure I ask before I play here again.
