poor pace of play

no starter present on Sunday afternoon. Allowed singles to tee off among threesomes and foursomes. Waited on every hole on front nine. Later saw a sixsome playing a few holes ahead....didnt effect us until waiting on the final couple of holes. Some groups quit after 9 holes or the round would have exceeded 5 hours.

Thank you for your feedback and patronage, both are much valued and appreciated. I am sorry your recent visits to Centennial have not lived up to your expectations. I promise, we will do better next time. We have just initiated a new Ranger/Ambassador program at Centennial which we hope will ease the pace of play issues you experienced. Thank you again for your past play and we hope to see you here again soon!

Way too long to play!

Took over 5 hours to play 18 holes. Teed off 10 minutes after tee time was reserved. Love the course and had a great rate but will go somewhere else because of time.

Spring golf

Centennial is about to be in great shape. Greens are already rolling very smooth and fairways and rough is greening up nicely.

Fairways

Greens were great, staff was friendly, fairways were the worts to have ever seen them at this course. No grass in most areas and where there was grass it was very thin. Course was wet from all them rain , very muddy. Will wait till later in the summer before playing here again, give the fairways a chance to thicken up.

Nice Track

Played the course roughly 50 or 60 times. Keeps getting better and better. They have added some water to some holes and have done the necessary work to make the course better. #1 is probably one of the toughest par 5s in the area. Some tight holes but some scoring holes too. Good layout. Greens are usually pretty decent as well. Course gets lots of play because of the fair price. I think Centennial is a definite play in Knoxville area.

Stay away

This course has a nice layout and was once considered to be a quality course. I could not believe the reviews that were critical of the course conditions so I decided to play it.

There are fairway problems, tee bed problems, and green issues. To start weeds are more prevelant than grass in the fairways. Tee beds have been resodded, but with no water on the patches the sod is dying. Greens are full of unrepaied ball marks, and the mowers do not clear clumps of grass off the greens...on one hole the clump was so big we did not see the ball in it.

There are indications that attempts are being made, but basics are ignored. Water the tee bed patches, clear cut grass off the greens, put sand on the carts so that golfers can repair divots, and give away repair tools and ask every golfer to fix two or three marks every green.

This course is not worth the money charged...there are too many well maintained courses within a fifteen minute drive that charge the same rates or less.

I told the pro shop staff all of this and sincerely hope that things change for the better.

Great golf course. First and last holes are tough, with a large area of dense vegetation to get over. Lots of bunkers. Good wide open fairways and rolling greens.

First Time

Course had a nice layout. Some of the greens needed work, but overall they rolled smooth and very receptive. Pay attention to the signs on the t box indicating idea length to hit shots. Will definitely play again. Some of the t boxes were very rough. Suggest players learn how to replace their marks on the greens.

Greens are always beat up.

Greens are always beat up. Centennial needs to follow suit of Willow Creek, River Islands, and Deadhorse and put in the new bermuda greens. I like the course but the greens are terrible.

Not what it used to be.

This used to be a top-notch public course, not anymore. The practice green is almost completely destroyed. Many of the greens are all but gone. The cart paths are riddled with potholes. Fairways are poor. They're sodding everywhere, so many of the tee boxes and some of the fairways are off limits. This place is at the breaking point, they're going to have to put a lot of money into it or let it go.

Horrible condition

This course is a challenging course when conditions are ideal. Damage to fairways, greens and tees make this course very agrivating to play. I will not be back until conditions improve.

This course has really gone down hill.

The course is in horrible shape I wouldnt pay $30 to play there again. They need to have someone driving around making sure people that play their course fix their divots.

Fix the course

Tee boxes are finally being fixed. Greens are on the verge of being a lost cause. But I can deal with all of that. What is absolutely unacceptable is when the grounds crew just hangs out on the green. It happens every time I golf here.

"Under Repair"

There were several areas under repair on the course … sod stripped away and placed in various areas. It made some of the fairways very rough and uneven and in need of rolling/mowing. Several of the greens also appeared to be under stress … perhaps due to the recent heat.
