First Time Playing

Definitely play here !

Amazing experience. The guy in the pro shop wasn’t extremely friendly. The range is grass , not mats . Great chipping area and practice greens . From the opening t shot the the final putt on 18 it was great . Great variety of holes , greens were in great shape and consistent. Fairways were in great shape . Couple of the t boxes weren’t great , but it was obvious they are improving them because there were multiple boxes not in use that were freshly sodded . Got a cheeseburger after the round and it was one of the best I’ve ever had . If you are in the Knoxville area you have to play this course . I will definitely be back

Keep it in the fairway

Missing the fairways is punishing on most holes.

There are several gimmick holes that are a little redundant.

The golfers should be informed they need to fix their fairway and green divots.

Staff was friendly. Food is excellent at turn.

Excellent conditions, fair and fun layout

This is a must-play in the Knoxville area. It was my third time at Centennial in the past two summers while traveling through Easr Tennessee. Fairways and greens were in very good condition. Only downside was slow pace of play, but that is something of a given on a popular public course. Excellent value for the money.

Great track!

Course is great and a little tough. Several blind tee shots or second shots. Greens were not in the best shape, tons of ball marks not repaired, and a few of the tee boxes were just hard dirt. Still a great value for the price to play.

Good Track, Greens good, tee boxes poor

Course is fun, greens and fairways were in good shape. Several tee boxes were fine, but there were about 9 holes that tee boxes were in poor shape (Little Grass Very Slippery with mud) and several holes that they are redoing tee boxes. they are trying but they've let a few of them get away from them.

Nice challenge

Nice course, tough layout from tips. But you play every shot to get around it good. Lots of blind shots and doglegs. Enjoyed it very much. #18 one of the toughest holes I have played anywhere.

Worst Bar Service

I sat at bar for 25 minutes & barmaids served everyone around me! Not once asking me if I needed something to eat or drink! After 25 minutes & no one left at bar, barmaids still didnt ask if I needed anything!! Finally I got ones attention, while she was just standing around & ignoring me! I finally got a beer after sitting for 30 minutes?? Can't believe it but true!!

I will never go back there again!!

Worst service I have ever experienced!!

Beautiful track

Love the track. First time playing it this year. I think the wet spring has really affected the course. It was not in great shape.

Interesting Course for Area

Had a nice round with my fiancée. The holes are relatively simple in concept, but the change in elevation on many of the holes keeps things interesting. The course was well kept, but the overall pace-of-play was slow for a Sunday. We also couldn't warm up because the ball dispenser on the range was empty when we got there and wasn't refilled by our tee-time. Overall, I would gladly go back.

Very bad management

Course was in terrible shape most of the tee boxes were sand had to leave after 9 holes cause it took us 3 hours to play the front when I called the club house and asked if they could send a ranger cause a group was 3 holes behind the group in front they said they couldn’t do anything about the pace of play

Home Course Almost perfect

The only room for improvement on this course is upkeep on the tee boxes and consistency of the greens speed.
