Still a gem

This course is even better than it used to be! The greens are pure, if not a bit hard/dry this time of year. The fairways are rolling! Plan your shots and approaches in accordingly. Would've liked some better food choices at the turn.

Outstanding challenging course from multiple tee levels

Outstanding golf course layout In design, great balance of elevation change’s which make the course challenging from each of the four tee box areas. There is a proper amount of sand bunkers to protect the massive greens. I believe it is one of best public courses I the Lenoir City area a suburb of southwest Knoxville TN.

Perfect weather

very nice course, but slow play

Really enjoyed the course. Great condition. Greens are speedy, but not too fast. A few of pin positions were very difficult (too difficult?).

Pace of play was very slow compared to what I have experienced before. Would be nice to have seen a ranger. But, I still recommend playing the course.

Staying Green with lack of rain

Surprisingly, the course is in good shape with the lack of rain. There’s a couple greens that still have to come together that have about 10% no growth or disease I’m not sure what it is. I’m not a greenskeeper, but for a course that totally lost its greens and came back with what they’re at, it’s extremely impressive that they’ve recovered to the point of where they’re at.

The professionalism at the course from the pro shop to the grill is nice. They make a nonmember feel like a member as it should be because every non-member is a potential member. After playing this time it’s solidified our choice on joining.

The greens are back!

So I was a little skeptical, because I had heard about the issue that they had having to change the greens to zoysia grass, but they are setting nicely. They’re a little bit different to put on and someways slower much slower but fast when going with the grain.

All the courses are a little dry now, but I was surprised at how nice the fairways were with the lack of rain we have had. Terry in the pro shop was awesome. All of the staff at the grill as well.

Complementary waters and ice chest were nice touch to an enjoyable round. The beauty of the course and the diversity of each hole is making this a potential membership for the entire family.

I can honestly say that no two holes slightly resembled each other, and every hole is incredibly unique. Complementary range balls was added bonus. Playing again here in a couple days.

Nice course in good condition

Went out for the first time yesterday. Enjoyed the front 9, back 9 was much more closed in by houses. Greens were nicely manaquered but rolled surprisingly slow, especially compared to the practice green. Really liked the carts having the GPS technology on them. Overall it was a good experience.
