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
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. Don Tillar Jr., GM
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.
Fun course
The course was in good condition and fun to play.
Burnt out staff
There was no starter so we went to the 1st tee and s group that had a later tee time had already began playing (there is a use for a starter) the pace wasn't awful but would have been much better if we weren't behind the foursome I mentioned. The course is always nice, but the greens were beat up. I ordered food for 3 while on the 8th hole. 3 groups passed us on the turn while waiting for our food, and the staff was clearly worn out or just didn't care muc. I frequently play this course through the week and expect these things during the week, However this was mid day Saturday.
Thank you for playing our course recently and also, I really appreciate the feedback - it is very helpful. I am sorry your experience was less than you had hoped for but rest assured, the problems you experienced (no starter, tired staff, etc.) have addressed and changes in personnel and scheduling patterns have been made. My sincere hope is that you will have a much improved experience the next time, if we are so fortunate, you play Centennial. Again, please accept my apology for your unsatisfactory visit and we hope to see you again soon! - Don Tillar Jr., GM
No starter/ranger=poor place of play
I had an 8:12 tee time and when I pulled up to the first tee, at 8:10 here were already three groups waiting on the tee. The lack of having a starter allowed three twosomes to tee off before 8 am without pairing up. On top of that there was no ranger during the entire round to manage these groups or speed up the pace of play. Needless to say it took almost five hours to play this round. Plus I did not see any on course beverage service the whole time we were on the course. The only positive thing I havhave to say about this course is that it was in pretty good condition for a public course. The orange(back) tee boxes were all in good shape. The greens were in good condition but could have been a little bit faster.
Thank you for your recent visit to our course and thank you for the feedback on your visit, both are greatly appreciated. Please accept my apology that your experience did not live up to your expectation. Based on your and others feedback, we have added more starters and rangers to the schedule to help improve the overall experience. Thanks for your comments on the condition of the course, I will pass them on to the maintenance staff. We look forward to seeing you here again soon! - Don Tillar Jr., GM
Chance Taken
Booked this course with no knowledge of what I would be getting. It was on the way back from a golf trip to Gatlinburg and wish I would have known about Centennial first. Far better than I expected and extremely better than what was played in Gatlinburg.
Will be back!
Bring Extra Balls
This course was pretty challenging if you aren't hitting the ball straight. On almost every hole there is trouble off the fairway. Be sure to bring more balls than you'd think. (I never lose balls and lost 4 in 18 holes). It is a challenging course from the back, but very fun and accessible for the better players.
Great value!
Centennial is in fantastic shape! The management have really gone out of their way to make this the best golf value in East Tennessee -- by a wide margin! I will definitely be back often.

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
