Great offseason conditions and challenging but playable layout
The course is in excellent shape for early February. Greens had a few marks that people didn't fix and were pretty sandy, but they played very fair. Everything else was browned, but that's to be expected, and rough and fairways were still maintained to proper lengths.
The layout was interesting and challenging without being unfair or overly difficult. For example, there are many holes with pretty drastic elevation changes (i.e. hitting from a tee to an elevated landing area) but none felt gimmicky or silly. All very believable and playable. The greens didn't play very fast, but I heard they can be brutal during the season.
friendly
Greens are in great shape. Bunkers have been redone and are in good shape as well. Staff very friendly. Pace was steady for a weekend round.
One of my favorite courses
I never get tired of playing the Bell. It is a wonderful layout for all skill levels and the scenery is just beautiful. Carved in the woods with elevations changes and some water hazards. I've never had a bad round here and with the new bunkers it is even better. You are almost guaranteed to see some form of wildlife as well (9 deer and a hawk this time). Highly recommend this course. In my opinion it would be tough to find a course as nice as the Bell for the price. The TN golf trail courses are top notch.
