4 stars

Challenging course. Lots of dog legs throughout. Some tee boxes need a little love and one green needs major repair. Speed of play was reasonable for a Sunday. Course recommendation is to add more signs to where tee box locations are. Would recommend to friends.

Great layout - bad greens

This course is very challenging and has one of my favorite layouts for a golf course. The course uses the natural terrain like hills and trees to really test all aspects of your golf game. Disappointing factor was the condition of the greens. Lots of u fixed divots, hornet nest sand tunnels, and on the 18 green it looks like 2 big divots from a golf club. Quite a few times I could not put on my desired line to the hole due to the issues with the greens. I hope they fix the greens and then it will be really worth the money!

Best it has ever looked and played

First time in a long time where the fairways were not completely flooded due to rain the day before. It was the best I’ve ever seen it!! Looking forward to play it again soon.

Good course, but greens have lots of ball marks

Not the first time playing this course. I generally like this course, but would be so much better if people would fix their ball marks. One of the worst courses I play with this problem. Also played behind someone who didn't (or couldn't) pick up their feet when walking on greens. Left marks on most every green. There are numerous course that I play in Knoxvillle where you do not have this problem to deal with.

The course was probably one of the best courses we have played while traveling. Personnel there accommodated us and made the round of golf very enjoyable,, starting with the fellow at the pro desk to the starter, to even the guy fluffing up the sand traps.. Very enjoyable day. And the course was in premium condition. Would recommend for a enjoyable day on the links. Thanks, Mike Nichols Louisville, KY

Not in great shape.

Course is always well ran and the pace of play is generally terrific. The greens are in really bad shape though. Can spend less money at other places at the moment and have better course conditions.

Great Pace and Nice Track

We enjoyed the course. First time here for either of us. Not sure if you should blame the condition of some of the greens on the course or lazy golfer who do not fix ball marks. Greens were not bad but could be better. We will go back.
