Very nice course

The course was in good condition, other than a soggy spot in a few fare ways I played as casual water. The staff was friendly and accommodating.
I recommend this course.

Always good.

A fun course you can score on. 3 par 3s, 3 par 4s and 3 par 5s on each side. Fare ways and greens are well maintained as well as the bunkers. Lots of opportunities to score.

Getting better

With every passing month Island Point is getting better. One of the best and most scenic layouts in the area. The group that now runs the course has made it better. The fare ways and greens are better maintained and the bunkers actually have sand in them. The pace of play was very poor on my most recent round but it was worth the hassle. Give it a try. We

You can recover!

Lambert acres just always a course that if you hit wayward shots can recover a high percentage of the time. Discourse is very open but challenging. Lambert acres gets a lot of play because it is priced reasonably. If you have a teatime booked you can usually go off whenever you show up if it’s early. The greens are good, The carts are average. Fairways are mostly playable. I do recommend this course because you can score here.

Hello Spring

Lambert acres is always a fun course to play. The greens have been punched but we’re almost healed so it only causes minor problems. Overall discourse is wide open so much challenging friendly staff. You will enjoy Lambert acres it is a good deal for the price.

Good as usual

Egwani is always on good shape as long as they haven’t had too much rain. On things day everything was in perfect shape. The bunkers and greens were well-maintained and the greens were exceptionally fast. Fairways were good as usual and dry. The courts have built-in GPS and the staff in the clubhouse is always on the ball. They have a snack bar with sandwiches and snacks and drinks so it was another good day at Egwani Farms.

Getting everything right.

Egwani Farms Golf Club is always a pleasure to play. For starters your green fee includes a small bucket of balls to warm up with on the range. The carts are well maintained and have the built in GPS that gives you distance. tee times are usually right on time and they do a great job of matching you up if you are a single or two players. The greens, fairways and bunkers are well maintained. The layout is excellent and will have you using most of the clubs in your bag. Bring a few extra balls because water can come into play on most of the holes.. Egwani Farms golf course should be on your hit list if you are in the area of Knoxville, TN. GO VOLS!

A finalist for the most beautiful courses I have played in my life.

I have played a lot of golf in my life, in a lot of countries, this course is a finalist for the most beautiful.. The tees, fairways, bunkers and greens were immaculate. My daughter and I played as a twosome in the afternoon and never encountered any delays in the pace of play. The setting was a photo worthy view on every hole. The staff in the pro shop were friendly and quick to serve us. The starter gave great advise, our tee time was right on time. The bag handlers met us at the bag drop and answered our questions. The refreshment cart was timely and friendly. What more can I say. I wish I could play this course more.

Another. First class day on a wonderful course.

The weather was fantastic. The fare ways were beautiful. The greens were challenging but a little slow. Staff was friendly and helpful. Pace of play was a little slow but not bad. We could never enjoy the afternoon more.

Great Day on the Course

Played with my Dad today and we really enjoyed the North course. Fairways were in really good condition, a few of the tee boxes were a bit spotty, but the greens were gorgeous. The lay of the course was beautiful and challenging, so we had a great time!

Always good.

Greens are well maintained and roll consistently. Patriot hills is well maintained. It is very popular so pacer of play can get pretty slow.. they still don’t leave rakes out for the bunkers but the bunkers are pretty good.fun to play.

Wild Laurel in the morning.

Had an 8:30 tee time so had a little fog for a couple of holes. Very few players so pace of play as a twosome was great. Fairways were a little shaggy and the greens were painfully slow. Overall the course was ok. The staff was very friendly and the clubhouse was mountain cabin nice with a pool table and well stocked bar. The food was good. The weather was amazing so it was a good relaxing day. I would do it again.

William’s Creek (The Wee Course) Par 3

The money they have spent to improve the Wee Course was well spent. The improvement is enormous . It’s. a MUCH better course to work on your short game than it was even though it was good before. Now the course is longer, the multiple tee boxes are flat and big enough to move the markers around and have grass on the tee. The greens roll beautifully and fast with the exception of places where some Neanderthal has taken big divots with a club because he is a terrible putter and seems to think beating on the greens will help him be better. If you are playing with someone who does that, tell them to STOP! The Wee Course is a pleasure to play and is one of the best Par 3s in the USA. They have a nice practice area with range, putting and chipping greens and the carts are in good condition. PLAY IT, YOU’LL LIKE IT.

Greens a poppin’

The biggest problem Avalon has had for the last couple of years was the greens. They were a mess. GOOD NEWS! The problem will soon be solved…We all hope. The old greens have been completely replaced and should be rounding into great shape soon. They are still very slow as the course allows them to mature before cutting to close. The course has always been a favorite of mine. Nice facilities, friendly staff, good layout and well maintained carts with GPS and automatic breaking on steep terrain. If all goes well the new greens will be the finishing touch on a fun round of golf.

This course fits my ame

Greens had been recently punched so they were a little slow but still rolled pretty true. Bunkers not bed, some water comes into play but only on a few holes. Fairways are well maintained. Staff is always friendly. Patriot hills is a great value for your money. I regularly play about 25 courses in a 30 mile radius of Knoxville and Patriot Hills is one of my favorite public courses. Their carts are clean and the bathrooms are functional and clean. The course is usually busy for all the right reasons so it’s better to play in a three some or foursomes. If you keep the ball in your fairway you will like Patriot Hills.

Just Wait.

When Williams Creek was built it was certainly better than many par 3 courses I had seen. The Fazio design was challenging and the greens were large, undulating and well maintained but the surrounding were rough and unforgiving while the tee boxes often almost bare due to heavy play. Right now the course is under MAJOR renovation and is, therefore, inconvenient and possibly frustrating due to trucks and equipment moving around. The experience and enjoyment today WILL NOT COMPARE to what it will be when finished. I don’t know what the budget is for this upgrade but it has to be HUGE! The rough surroundings are being transformed into one of the elite and premier par 3s ANYWHERE!!. Large, flat, first class tee boxes (4 per hole), room to recover from a bad shot, and large, fast, undulating greens. JUST WAIT, the changes will blow your mind. I can’t wait to play the finished product.

Still improving

Island Point has always been a really nice layout. Good fairways and greens (greens were pretty slow today.. probably an 8-9 on the stamp) they have grassed in a few bunkers and improved sand in others but they still have a lot of work to do on the bunkers. Staff is friendly and pro shop has been updated.

Fun and challenging

Egwani Farms is a great test of ones golf skills. On this day the greens were a little slow due to recent punching.but they were almost recovered. There is a good selection of difficulty in the various holes. Very long par fours and very short par 4s.. water comes in to play on several holes and number 11 is a very unique par five. Fairways are very playable and buggers are well kept. The staff was friendlyAnd the golf course was well-maintained. They even give you a small bucket of balls with your green fee to be hit on the range. I recommend Egwani as a pleasant golfing experience.

Ok but nothing special.

The course was ok. Not a large variety in the course layout. Several holes looked the same. Conditions were good. Greens a little slow and bumpy. Pace of play was good. Food service for lunch was very slow and food was so so. Probably won’t go back. Too many other better places. It’s not bad but just ok.
