Too Many players booked at the same time
We had to wait an hour past our tee time. There were way too many players booked at the same time and nobody from the staff made an effort to speed up play.
No1, 15, and 18 can be difficult.
No 1 requires a good drive to be in play. Being it is the first shot is not always conducive to a good result. No 18 requires more than average accuracy in both direction and length. The approach shot is across a waste area that is 165 yards or more depending on your first shot.
Course was in decent shape, the greens need attention
I wonder if the customer base for this course understands how to repair a ball mark on the green. The greens were peppered with ball marks and some marks where never attempted to be repaired. We played in July which I understand is a tough month weather wise on courses in this area. Still repairing ball marks is indifferent to the weather. The conditions of the greens made for a disappointing day.
The fairways were clean, mowed at the appropriate height and in generally good shape. The grass on the tee boxes was a little sparse and compacted.
There are too many other courses in the area for this to be a repeat visit on my next trip to Knoxville.
Last Chance
I always seem to gravitate to Centennial for a good location and solid price from Golf Now.... but it's getting harder and harder to justify going back.
Course was in tough shape top to bottom. Greens were very bumpy and not only needed to be cut but had insect holes and dead spots everywhere. The area around the greens was also shaggy and appeared to be forgotten about and nearly every tee box was beat up and rock hard.
Pace of play is always an issue at Centennial as well due to the blind tee boxes all over the place and the bottleneck design.
Picture attached was one of many green areas that looked similar to this.
Bring your balls
Centennial is a pleasure to play and a real challenge. A mixture of tight holes and open ones but each ending with undulating greens. Staff is very friendly and the value is tough to beat in East Tennessee.
Awesome Course!
Greens had just been aerated but were still rolling true. Fairways were in immaculate shape. Course is challenging. There are risk/reward holes, some tight fairways and others are wide open. Layout is great. Green fees were cheaper because of aeration but would still pay normal price.
Needs attention
The course is laid out well, but needs attention. You cannot see the fairway from the #1 tee due to the overgrowth of the trees. Most of the greens are rough. Ball bounces its way to the hole. Overall, I like the course, but was dissappointed after driving 55 minutes to get there.
Course needs attention
Tee boxes were in really bad shape. I could hardly get a tee in the ground. Grass very spotty on tee box. Green rough and bumpy
A beautiful challenge
Centennial is a wonderfully challenging course. My partner and I played the Senior (black) tees as we both drive in the sub 200yd range. This made nearly every hole reachable if we stretched our envelope a bit. Lest you think it easy, there are plenty of challenges that force concentration and planning or trouble awaits. Well maintained course and facilities. We will be back again.
Difficult course for seniors and ladies
There are a few holes that are very difficult for seniors and ladies.
Fairways were in good shape. Some of the greens needed work.
Good Layout, Poor Greens/Tee Boxes
Centennial has a great layout and is challenging for all types of golfers. But I was disappointed that the greens were in such awful shape and the tee boxes were not much better.
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!
Great experience .
Course was in good condition. Staff was great and made my experience great.
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.
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.
