Punched greens

I’ve played many rounds with recently punched greens. These were the worst. Like asphalt with excessive sand on top. I called the pro shop for 30 minutes straight before I booked on GolfNow with hopes of asking the course conditions. No one would answer the phone. The phone was ringing the entire time I was in the pro shop and no one bothered to answer it, which explains why I had so much trouble trying to call in advance and discuss course conditions. Would’ve been nice to be told beforehand that the greens were awful (and maybe a small discount on the green fees?). I understand regular course maintenance (and appreciate quality upkeep), but driving 4 hours round trip, and paying FULL PRICE to putt on trash was really disappointing.

Greens heavily sanded and aerated!

I get helping the greens, but they were practically unputtable! Front nine still a fun layout but back nine was gimmicky and odd. Views we’re nice just not anything golf wise to get excited about!

Brown fairways Greens just airated

It’s late March and fairway grass is still dormant. Front nine is a fairly flat layout. The back nine is mountain golf. Precise shots and some required exact distance necessary to play a few holes. I did get my only birdie on one of the back nine’s par three. We will come back again later in the season. I’m sure the fairways will have greened up. For the price a very nice course to play. The back nine reminded us of Fairfield Glades courses.

Still a nice place for a great round

The greens are in good shape, with only a couple needing some attention. The fairways need a little love. All off the rough areas have been beautifully trimmed for the preseason. There was much storm debris that was nicely cleared. Kudos to the course crew!!

Mountain golf

We enjoyed the course very much, quite challenging between the creeks running through the course and the mountain terrain.

Challenging course

The front nine is a good warmup going into the back nine. The back nine is very shot rewarding.

Excellent course with a breathtaking view.

Took my son to this course for our first out of state golf trip and this course was outstanding. The view itself makes the trip worth it. Staff was friendly, carts worked perfectly fine, and the course was without a doubt one of the best I’ve played on. If you find yourself in TN, don’t pass up an opportunity to play the course.

Beautiful place that is in poor shape

Interesting layout but in very poor shape several tee boxes with little to no grass a few of the greens were covered in some invasive weed and were the opposite of pure!
