Baneberry Golf and Resort

I read the previous reviews but thought it can’t be that bad It’s worse. Hadn’t played here in awhile and it’s a fun track to play and use to be in good shape There are no greens They are completely gone The fairways are a mixture of numerous grasses that may or may not give you a decent lie. Hit in the rough you’ve lost your ball. Now for the biggie while finishing the third hole A Group of 6 carts jumped in front of us when we asked what was going on they said they had a swat going. Didn’t even acknowledge we were there. Very rude. Anyway don’t waste your time or money here If they let you play free it would not be enjoyable. I can’t see any way short of a major overhaul that would make it playable

Greens need work but you can see that they are working to improve the course now that it is under new ownership

Fairways were ok but the greens were the worst I have ever played. Staff was super friendly.

I booked our tee time on golfnow on a hot deal. I had read the reviews that Brian had answered, stating new ownership, starting in mid to late June. I thought for $15 give it a try. Gentleman in the clubhouse wanted to know how much I paid on golfnow, why does it matter? If your don't want golfnow business don't list your course on it. Simple as that. Needs to work on his customer service skills. Tee boxes and fairways were fair to good. Now to the greens, very little grass but mostly weeds and dirt. I am not a grounds keeper but I think the only way to fix them is rip them up and start from scratch. Talking to the cart attendant, he said the new owners had not arrived yet. Hopefully when they do the conditions of the golf course will start to change. I know that you can't wave a magic wand and it will change over night, but lets get started and bring this course back to the condition that it once was. It could be a hidden gem in East Tennessee but needs love and lots of money. Please get to work.

The guy in the club house made us believe that the greens were a little ruff. Every green was dead and smelled of mildew. Will never play there again.

A lot of weeds throughout fairways, disease and bare spots on greens. This could be a great course but it needs attention and maintenance on it

Nice layout but greens are shot needs major work!!

Layout is great but the greens are in really bad shape not sure if they are still doing maintenance or not

Been years since I played here, course has a great lay out you don’t have to have a long ball to play well. Nice setting out in the country by the lake. Front nine greens need attention, back nine were in great shape. Staff was very friendly.

Used. To be a great course. Not sure who’s taking care of the place now but it’s awful.

I hate to bad mouth anyone or anything but this was a waste of money and waste of time. After making our tee, nothing was said about the condition of this course. The greens are in the worst shape I've ever seen or played on. They should shut down and re-work all of these greens...Quickly

Good layout. Holes 10 and 11 need work. Hole 2 is great

Gotta play for less than 15$ so I really can't complain course in pretty good condition a few of the greens needs attention but overall pleased with my round

The fairways were good, but the greens were very bad. No place to even move your ball to so you could putt. Badly diseased.

Our first time here, and although we were not too disappointed (we've played some really bad courses before), we thought this course could be improved significantly with just some TLC from the maintenance crew. Particularly the greens. They are by far the worst greens we have ever seen anywhere, but could be saved with a bit of work. The tee boxes and fairways look pretty good, and the architectural layout of the course is fabulous. Great scenery, with well-placed mature trees and bunkers, but the big problem is the greens. Running-water restrooms on the course, but they badly need cleaning and updates. Could be a fantastic course with just a bit of work. We still enjoyed the day, however.
