Good course for the money
We had a 12:04 tee time. Walked in and no carts were available. We were given free range balls while we waited for carts. Free drinks and snacks. With this being said, we were also given a free round of golf at a future date. This was a first class gesture on the golf course's part. Thank you, Don Tillar this foursome will be back for sure.
Wow
Great Casper layout. Greens give a real challenge. Good stuff. Go here and have a blast.
Great Value
Great value on a challenging course with a great layout. Number 7 needs to be fixed, and for whatever reason nobody fixes their ball marks on this course only complaint from a loyal patron.
Good conditions
Fairways and rough are great but greens are full of ball marks.
Hot until the rain came
My friend and I play this course 2-3 times a month. It was very hot on the front nine, but cooled dramatically when the rain started, and boy did it rain.. Other than that a good day for us,. I thought the course was in good shape. For some reason we started on the back nine(ok with me), but it backed up a little. Wally Brogan and Doug Kelley
Centennial golf course
Played June 9, 2017, at 12:04. Challenging layout-forces and rewards accuracy. Greens were FAST. Fairways well maintained. Staff great. Food great. Server friendly, fast, and helpful. Cart was a bit loud for my taste.
Carts near greens
I'm local and play here a few times a year. First time this year and the course is in better sgape than in past years. What got me was all the other golfers that were driving their carts right next to tee boxes and greens. They also drove onto fairways that were closed. I don't think anyone playing that day new how to fix a ball mark on the green. Total disrespect for a nice public cource that won't be for long, I'm afraid
Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent visit to Centennial. I really appreciate it. I am sorry you had a less than perfect experience. We have instructed the grounds crew to be extra vigilant about the ball marks and we will increase the presence of rangers on the course as the summer moves on. Hopefully, these actions will help. Next time you visit the course, seek me out. I'd love to talk to you about these and any other issues and observations you have about the facility. Thanks again and I hope to see you here again soon! - Don Tillar Jr., GM
Intimidating tee shots for first time players
Have never played course, and used golfnow.com hot deal to play a 11am tee time on a Thursday. No. 1 tee shot is scary looking from tee box and several others look almost as frightening. However most open up if tee ball struck greater than 200yds. Several tee boxes were bare and many closed. There were two different cart path detours. Greens were fast but had many bad spots. Fairways were in fair condition with bare spots, drainage damage and few lush areas. Pace was really slow with a couple of foursomes holding up play. Was striking ball well off tee box, otherwise would have been a frustrating day. Probably not worth the trip and definitely would not pay more than $25 to ride 18
I am sorry your experience here at Centennial did not meet your expectations. I hope you will give us another chance someday soon. I have passed along your course observations to our agronomy team and they will be looked into shortly. The cart path re-routing is a temporary safety issue. I apologize for any inconvenience. Thank for your patronage and feedback and we hope to see you here again soon. - Don Tillar, GM
Great!!
Great course! Great conditions. I love this course
centennial
Course was in great shape. Some difficult holes. Was a nice challenge. Greens were smooth. Wind was brutal and had a 3 some in front of us who played slower than our 4some. Would def play again next time I'm in Knoxville.
Not great
Probably a good deal during the week but overpriced on the weekend. Greens ok but tee boxes are rough. Course could be great. Carts are not in great working condition either. Round took 5 hours yesterday. Waited nearly every shot and never saw a Marshall. Could be much much better. Fun course layout but not well maintained.
Thank you for your patronage and feedback, both are greatly appreciated. I has passed your course observations along to the agronomy team. I hope you decide to visit us again soon and give us a second chance to provide you a wonderful golfing experience. Thanks again. - Don Tillar, GM
Great Course to Play
Challenging course with lots of variations. Will definitely play again!
Horrible greens
The fairways are in great shape but stay out of the rough. The first cut of rough will swallow the ball. Overall, this was first course I have played where the players have no regards for the greens. Every green was covered in unrepaired divots. This course has a golf academy, but the 1 lesson they are not teaching is how to repair divots on greens. The clubhouse would do the course a great service to hand out divot tools and a free lesson on repairing diivots.I don't mean to carry on and on about the divots but I repaired 3 every time I repaired my own and the green was still covered with ball sized holes all over. I don't blame the greens keepers, I blame the players for not caring about the course
Thank you very much for your feedback, it is very helpful to us and I appreciate it. I agree with your observations that we have a ball mark problems here at Centennial. We are initiating an education program - with flyers, posters and blog/facebook postings addressing the subject. If you have any other ideas on how to combat this issue, please let me know, I'm always looking to borrow someone else's great idea. Thanks again for your patronage and your concern for our course. We hope to see you again here soon. - Don Tillar Jr., GM
GREAT public course
One of the best public courses I've ever played, and I've lived and played all over the country. Makes me wish I lived in Oak Ridge so I could play here more often.
Thank you for playing our course recently and thank you also for your kind words. It is nice to know when our goal of providing a great golfer experience is met. We hope to see you again soon. - Don Tillar Jr., GM
Excellent Experience
The golf course was in great shape. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. In every aspect of this course it was neat and well kept. It was an all around fun experience! i will definitely be back to Centennial Golf Course for more golf.
Thank you for your recent patronage and rave review. We really appreciate both! We look forward to seeing you again here soon! Don Tillar Jr., GM
Frustrating
They do not have a starter thus creating a late start as two foursomes cut in front of us delaying us 25 minutes. Also no marshalls meant the two groups ahead of us had no worries with time as they continued to goof off the entire round. After 5 1/2 hours we quit after 14 holes. A shame as it is a fairly nice course. Just understaffed.
Thank you for playing our course recently and also for your valuable feedback.. It is very important to us to know how we are doing, so that we may make changes when we fall short of providing the type of experience we strive to provide. We attempt to employee starters only when they are needed, but we clearly fell short of that goal in your case. I am reviewing our schedule of starters and will make adjustments based on your feedback. Please accept my apology for the troubles you experienced and I hope you give us another chance soon.

Bring extra balls
If you spray the ball, skip this course. The front is much harder and tighter than the back. Very little room if you miss the fairway. The course is quite a challenge.
