Beautiful and challenging

The course is in great shape. This is a beautiful course with challenging holes. Almost all of the greens have some moderate to big breaks in them. Greens are in great shape also. I would strongly recommend this course!

Very fun course. Several challenging holes. Fairly tight in places.

8 AM start, played as 2 some, so we moved pretty fast, course can be slow at times. Fairways & greens in good shape. A few tee boxes need help.

We were told the driving range was closed due to rain but the pro gave a lesson while we were putting on the practice green.

Love the course it is always in great shape and challenging. The staff has let me down on more than one occasion. Awesome course though.

There are some very fun and challenging holes. Hole 1 and 18 make you hit over large ravine. A lot of fun

the course has many blind shots and very challenging greens.

The staff was very friendly; however, when we got there we were informed that we would be late teeing off due to an outing earlier that day. I question why this tee time was available when an outing was taking place which generally runs longer than normal tee times. In addition someone appeared to be wearing metal spikes as the greens were very chewed up around the holes.

Great course, average maintenance year round.

It is a fun course to play, but sometimes a little pricey relative to other courses of its caliber. Prices have gone up compared to previous years with out any major changes to the course. I would of rated it higher, but knowing how the course will change in a month makes me rate it a little lower. If they could maintain the conditions of the greens for more then just March, April, and May. June is always an up or down month depending on weather. Usually mid June to early July ground hornets take over the green leaving mounds of sand in every putting line. The fairways get bare and you have a lot of thin lies. The tee boxes are non existent. I know the review sounds real negative, but I know I would want to know the negatives of the course. Given the previously stated the course is better then most during three to four months. I believe the biggest cause of the previous problems is over booking tee times. I give this course a 3/5 only because of a few months out of the year, if not I would give it a 4 for the area.

This course has some challenging holes on the back nine.

Good discount on Golf Now that saved us money on the weekend.
We enjoyed playing the course and plan to re-visit at a later date.
Convenient to north of Knoxville and easy to find.
Beverage cart service reasonable.

Best greens I have played in a while

Centennial was in immaculate condition. The parking lot was packed and yet the pace of play never slowed at all.

Played on a wet Course

Although the course was wet it was not bad. The course is a fun course with many challenges. The staff is always friendly and the condition is not bad. Due to the weather and the time of year the course is well maintained. I would recommend to any golfer.

Great value

74* days in January are rare, and it almost caused me to forget that we're in the dead of winter. The course obviously isn't in peak season shape, but is better than it should be in January. I look forward to playing here in the spring. Great value, excellent layout with no two holes alike.

Great when conditions are perfect, not good when conditions aren't

Pros: Friendly staff (JW)
Interesting layout
Front 9 is completely different than back 9
Challenging for novice like myself
Cons:Terrible drainage
No one fixes ball marks
Pace of play is sluggish (even as a novice I understand the need to play at a brisk pace)

Fun in the summer time but needs some attention now!!!

I've played this course for years and it's a great designed course and is usually in great shape but the staff seems to have slacked off on the greens. I hope to see the course back in tournament conditions come spring.

Long Wait with No Starter

We had an 11:40 AM tee time the day after Thanksgiving. The weather was pretty good for late November so I knew we'd be in for a wait, but when the course doesn't provide a starter, you've got issues. We paired ourselved with another twosome, and we finished just outside 5 hrs. Centennial is not a course for beginners, since 3 or 4 holes require a long carry (150+ yds) over water or ravines. Plan on a 5 hr round when you play here.

Interesting layout, tee times are crowded together.

Interesting layout, but heavily used on weekends. Lot's of trap maintenance in progress. Decent value.
