Great Conditions

New carts with GPS on them. Fairways in best condition in recent years. Greens were slow, needed to be mowed down some. Overall, one of my favorite courses to play.

Interesting Layout

The design of the course adds much needed value to the experience as areas of the course were in need of repair. The course was in decent shape, but the bunkers were terrible. None had even an attempt at being fixed and raked, and I am thankful I did not have to play from any. The gps system in the cart was very helpful in playing the course. It is of particular importance on the back nine as there are many blind shots to target areas. I will probably play the course again.

Decent shape for winter conditions

The course was in good shape for winter. Some of the cart paths need repair. The on cart GPS systems worked flawlessly and were a pleasant surprise.

Want beat the views this time of year

The new owners are getting setteled in and things are already improving. The greens took a beating over the hot summer months, but there coming back. A good airing and top dressing for spring should have them in great shape.

Nice setting

Rolling terrain on a TVA lake with mountain views. Fairways in great shape; greens are a little worse for wear. Moderately difficult course well-suited to my limited ability.

Course Conditions

The greens were in very bad condition. Most greens were very shabby with large bald stops. The fairways were in good shape but the rough was very deep and a golf ball could hide where the only person to find it would be the guy on the mower.

An overall exceptional value without overcrowding

The course is always reasonably well kept.The staff is very helpful and pleasant.The only fault I can report is that their greens are not what they have been in the past.However there is new ownership in place so hopefully playing conditions will improve by next spring.
