good layout
course is challenge. Cart paths really need some work. Seems like the greens conditions have gone down lately
Loved elevated layout.
9th hole is all way challenges and fun, no bad shots allowed.
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.
Centenial Golf Course Oak Ridge TN
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.
Didn't get to Play
Four O'clock tee time, three forty five came a big storm that lasted all night. Oh well I've played this course many times and is always good.
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.
in hopes it gets better
Greens were terrible, Fairways were terrible, tee boxes were terrible, worst shape I've ever seen Centennial in. Also for the record in the past I would and I have recommended this course.
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.
Great potential poor condition
Needs marshall to maintain pace of play; golfers need to learn to fix ball marks on green
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.
Under Repair
I’m sure when it’s in shape this is a nice course but right now they have a lot of bad fairways and greens that need work, so it’s under repair right now so be aware if you go
A good layout but in poor condition.
I like the layout of the course, but the present condition is poor with great sections of the fairways being newly sodded. Which shows they are working on improving the condition.
Pace of play
Great course. Played multiple times before. Pace of play on the back nine was at a snails pace. Left the course before finishing the round.
Best public coarse in Oak Ridge
I've played this coarse many times when I visit family in Oak Ridge. I like this coarse. The coarse is presently in good condition except for a couple of fairways, greens and more than a few tee boxes. I find the coarse to be fairly challenging (I'm a 15 handicap). The greens are fast and challenging. Golfnow has had some good deals for this coarrse.
Who is running the show
As we start playing hole number 1 there is a sign that says don't be a tool use one. Apparently nobody in Oak Ridge can read as we fixed at least 10 pitch marks a piece per each hole. Also the whoever set the tee markers that day must like to play off the dirt. I am a 3 handicap but my companions are not so we played from the green tees this makes the course measure 6100 yards. There was at least three to four tee boxes that need to be closed for several weeks. Move the box up or back but don't make us hit off dirt. Then the pin placements. Oh my goodness the guy who set those has no clue. And finally $32 is way to much for this course right now. It normally is worth that but in the shape it's in it is worth $18. That's right $1 per hole.
Excellent course
Not an overly long course, but a lot of holes need a great tee shot to have any chance to score. Some greens had dead spots, but the course had put the holes away from those spots. There were a lot of spike marks around the hole presumably from people playing that didn't know any better.
