Tennessee Centennial Golf Course

The course maintenance has gone down gradually over the years Getting practice balls always a task

my son & I really like playing here. Noticeable issues : cart paths are in rough shape, greens were below standards., all golfers were teeing off on the back 9 and it took us 4 hours & 45 minutes to play 18.

Got a good deal online, played 4 man. got backed up on back 9. couldnt play 18th 11 people waiting to tee off. singles need to be paired up with doubles. no ranger.
greens are starting to wear. patchy. fairways were ok, high ruff had be mowed down.
over all not bad for what we paid. had to be right at 4 hrs. anyway, for a tuesday mid day thats pretty slow pace.

I almost hesitated to reserve a round here after reading the most recent results. However, I got a good deal this morning and I figured it couldn't be that bad. I've played at Centennial more times than I can count in the past, and it's currently in the worst shape I've ever played it, but even then it's really not that bad at all. I love the course layout and the way it plays and I would come back tomorrow, but I wouldn't pay full price.

It's showing some signs of neglect. The fairways were in great shape, but most of the tee boxes were torn up, and the markers were moved around, allowing unused boxes to heal.

Most of the greens are also having some issues, but they've kept the flag placement away from those patches and they play fine. The biggest problem is that nobody repairs ball marks here. It's just pathetic the lack of golfer decency and respect at this course. I repaired countless ball marks near the holes that you would have had to have been blind not to notice. Inexcusable.

Does the course need work? Yes. Is it in horrible shape and not worth $25? Not at all. I only complained about 3-4 tee boxes.

Fairways: 8/10
Greens: 6/10
Tee Boxes: 5/10
Rough: 9/10

I would return here with friends, but I probably wouldn't bring work clients here, at least not in its current shape.

Note: Not knowing the course is a major factor in my review. Only Yardage markings are at the 150yd. and tee boxes were TERRIBLE, they were also free on any stone yardage markers that would have helped on the bigger boxes. It would have been very helpful if a ranger had been on duty to manage pace of play which was aweful slow. I can say that the greens rolled well. not a course to play if you are not familiar with it.

Arrived early to hit range balls after paying and going to driving range ball machine was empty my son went back to clubhouse to notify them after 10 minutes no one arrived I called clubhouse to inquire and the said they decided to close range early. We went to play then greens were in very bad shape fairways were alright pace of play was slow

Upon arrival, the staff was very helpful and inviting. As we proceeded to the first tee we found ourselves being held back by 10 minutes from our original tee time. Upon arriving to the first green, we were disappointed at the condition of the green and it continued throughout the day. The fairways were kept up well but the greens were damaged from unrepaired ball marks, old cup holes and spots of dead grass were everywhere. Beautiful area, narrow fairways and a moderate challenge. The course was really busy so I must attribute some of the conditions to that, suggest a shutdown on a few greens for recovery.

I love this course.
But I needs some serious help. The greens are pretty rough but on the mend. They have made drastic improvements with the fairways this year, but the cart paths will beat you to death trying to get there.

I wouldn't suggest entertaining clients or colleagues at this course, but do enjoy the course for its naturally challenging layout.
It's not worth paying more than $27.00 per round at this point.
Hopefully by next year the course will be back to where it needs to be to entertain.

Challenging track. Lots of elevation changes . Poor conditioned greens. Too many bare spot and fungus

Staff was fine. Greens were pitiful and bare. Tee boxes were in trouble. Pace of play was very tough as a threesome was holding up 4 twosomes. I have played Centennial in the past but its been over a year. The course needs a manager and greenskeeper.

The course was in pretty good shape my biggest complaint was the fact that it was way to backed up and there was not a ranger monitoring it. They were letting people start on the back 9 so it was very back up and we were waiting for about 15 minutes or more on every hole on the back. No reason on a Sunday evening for that to happen.

Took 5.5 hours to play on Saturday. A little overly crowded. Slow play not governed. Would have appreciated the help to speed some slower golfers up.

5 some in front of us all day playing 2-3 balls off the tee and fairway. Waited 20+ minutes on each tee box. Then the ranger tells our group to pick up the pace of play. I usually play 18 in under 4 hours with my 4some. The 5 some should've been asked to allow us to play through or been sent packing for playing 15 balls off each tee. Used to be a great course but the pace of play is as bad as I've ever seen. Won't be back for a while.

Course had seemed to go down hill a few years ago so I quit playing there. I've started back playing there this year, and I was Amazed at the difference. I believe it's under new management now. Fairways and Greens are superb. Staff is super friendly. Food is great. Best hotdogs of any course I've been to. It is also a kid friendly golf course, which I don't understand why more courses are not, since the kids are there future paying customers. I'm excited about the course now, and it's 10 minutes from where I live. Keep up the great work!

Great course for the money and good food with a friendly staff. Tight holes with nice fairways and greens. Will be back for sure.

Nice course layout, but fairways suffered a good deal of winter damage and are being worked on as play continues even around the workers and sprinklers.
The greens are very good and challenging. Once the fairways and around the greens are brought back to health, the course will be very good...

The course is not terribly long but the greens are quite challenging. The greens were the highlight as they rolled quite good. Very tricky greens to read and can be quite fast. Speed from green to green can be inconsistent though. Anyway, I really enjoyed the challenge of the greens and that is what kept me from giving a lower rating.

The layout is cool, a little tricky at times and as already stated #18 is just really odd and a rough finish. Basically hit 7 iron then 7 iron to finish out. Lots of layups and precise tee shots needed. Also a couple par 4's that you can think about driving. Overall a neat layout. This also helped keep my rating in the middle.

As nice as the greens were and as neat of a layout it is hard to really enjoy it when you have a 5 hour round. Tee time was 7:40...got to tee off about 15 minutes late and had to wait on almost every shot. Walked off #18 5 hours later. Agree with previous reviews that they need a marshal or three.

Also, the tee boxes are in rough shape. They need to be punched so some grass can grow. Luckily the ones that were most messed up were not par 3's and you typically had good grass on the par 3's. Still kind of discouraging teeing off on dirt at times.

Bigger issue they are working on is sod all over the course. Lots of sod. And the wooden pallets it came on...just laying in the fairway. I also know nothing about sod but they just laid it on top and didnt bury it or put it flush to the existing fairway. Just seems odd and not sure how they will mow the fairways. Again, that could be the right way to do it so forgive my ignorance but it doesnt take away from the fact there was alot of sod that you obviously cant hit from or stand on. Fairly heavy new sod around some greens too...they laid it flush though so no real issues unless you are putting thru it.

Anyway...the rate was $33 so it wasnt terrible. Really liked the greens and layout but the cons just outweighed the pros this time. The good news is that all the issues can be fixed. Once that sod get grown in and the tee boxes get a little TLC the conditions should be really good. The tough part will be getting the pace of play fixed.

I'm not counting them out, but it may be a while before I return.

This course has great potential. Unfortunately, over the last couple of years the course has really struggled in two key areas - 1. maintaining course conditions and 2. managing pace of play.

There are a couple of drivable par 4s. Hole 5 is kind of a quirky and 18 is just plain goofy (terrible finishing hole), but other than that, the course has a really fun layout.

The last couple of seasons the course conditions have been pretty rough - lots of dead spots on greens (issues with boring insects too) and bare areas in fairways. I hope that doesn't happen again this year.

Pace of play has also been an issue. I've never seen a ranger.

Poor - mid day on Friday aerifying fairways - right in the middle of play - no courtesy or respect to stop while players coming through

mid day on Fri - aerifying fairways while play was going on unbelievable!
