The course was in great condition. The golfers were courteous and friendly. The staff is very friendly and I enjoy talking to them when they are making their tour of the golf course. They seem to know exactly whats going on out on the course.

Nice Par 3 course

Second time playing this course, it's a good place to play. It wasn't crowded either day. Home of knoxville first tee so they have good practice facilities. The course layout is okay, it has large sloping greens with shelved pin locations. Tee boxes are chewed up which is to be expected since 17 holes are iron shots and they appear to be fescue or similar. Greens are in pretty good shape. Design is kind of poor, with several holes on front nine all playing 160-170 yds. So you end up hitting the same club too often. Same for back nine but yardage is 90-100. Greens are slow, so makes it difficult to two putt some due to size and slope. Definitely not very walkable with elevation changes and switchbacks between holes. For $20 to ride 18 holes it is a good bargain

Best par 3 ever

I have been playing golf courses all around the southeast for over 20 years. This is the best par 3 hands down. Lots of variety and the greens are a good, if not better than any of the private regulation courses around.

Fun but challenging par 3

The course is in descent shape. I would consider this an excellent place to work on your iron play.

D.A. Williams Creek

I have enjoyed playing golf for over 30 years, this course was fun and a great outing with friends, for a short par 3, the course has some challenges...if you are in Knoxville and fan of golf, Williams Creek is a good place to visit.

Great day,Great golf!!

The course was in great shape! Greens were amazing! Best I've played all year! The course offers a great mix of elevation changes, you will use every club in the bag. We really enjoyed seeing the 3 deer on the third hole! The fall colors were great,can't wait to go back!

Good bang for your buck.

I wanted to work on some things and this course was perfect for that and I was able to play fast enough to avoid the brutal heat. Greens are soft but true, so if you hit them the ball doesn't move. I will play again when I need a quick round of short iron play.

Great par 3 course

One of the best par 3 courses I've ever played. That being said, it is a popular destination in Knoxville due to the good price. Pace of play can be tough but I was able to play through a few groups and keep moving. Will play again.

Excellent Par 3 course

Great layout with some very interesting greens (especially # 18), Will play it again.

The only reason for a four star rather than 5, is that it had no par 4's. Although, if played from the Blues here are a couple of long holes (one of them for 245 yards, and narrow!)

Out of town

I haven't played a ton of par 3 courses to give this a well-weathered review, but I thought it was an awesome course! I am from Atlanta and I've played about 10 different courses long and short, and this was ranks in the top compared to those. Greens were well manicured (especially for winter time), tee boxes were in good condition, and the pin placement was difficult for some holes but that made it fun. I can't wait to come back and play this course and this is a great course for beginners trying to learn how to strike the ball and approach the green!

Fun - Fun - Fun - Best Par 3 Course Around

Every time we play this course it's always fun, helps hone in our short game and the pace is steady. The area had significant amounts of rain for several days prior to playing and a few areas were muddy, but 90%+ was in great condition, drained and the greens were FANTASTIC.
