Tennessee Centennial Golf Course

Has some interesting holes

The day I played recently was a “cart path only” day due to wet conditions. There were plenty of squishy places in the fairways so frequent moving the ball out of casual water was the order of the day. I have played Centennial GC enough to know what to expect. Greens are normally in good shape and roll pretty well. Not fast but fair. Of the public courses in this area I would rate this a 6 overall. The staff is nice. The price is reasonable. It has an interesting variety of holes. Pace of play is usually ok. 2 or 3 fairways slope to the left or right which can turn a good drive into a bad result. It is definitely a course that knowing the layout can really help your score.

Everything was great except the pace of play.

Wonderful course with a really nice layout and smooth, fast greens. Sand was well kept and consistent. We were behind a fore some with 2 men and two ladies (who appeared to have never played). We though they would let us play through but never did. From roughly hole 5 we waited 2-5 minutes on every shot. At some point they seemed to have switched to a scramble which helped a little. By the end of the round there was probably 2-3 holes open in front of them. Staff was nice but there was no ranger. The group playing behind us quit and went in after 12 holes.
The value was good getting a “hot deal” on Golf Now. I hope to play it again with a little better speed of play.

Nice course but challenges this time of year.

1. Nice practice area but the driving range was closed due to wet conditions.
2. Pace of play was good.
3. Fairways had been over seeded with winter rye. It was a little long and the soil was wet.
4. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
5. It’s a beautiful course but you got NO ROLL when your ball landed in the fairways.which made it play longer.
6. Greens and bunkers were in excellent condition. Greens were fast and rolled true. Sand was good white sand and well maintained.
7. Value on Golf Now was good.

We will return.

Nice old course.

Heddles Hideaway Golf Course,
I’m sure this course was a private country club at some point in it’s history. The layout was very nice but due to the time of the year and it rained twice and quite heavily several fairways were soggy in spots. Greens were in pretty good condition with average speed. A lot of pretty big elevation changes were challenging to our group because we had never played Heddles Hideaway before. Fairways and greens had not been blown recently so we spent a lot of time finding balls in the first cut of rough because the Bermuda rough was just long enough to hide a ball. Add to that, leaves on the ground and some greens had leaf/other tree debris on them. Pace of play was ok. Small greens and leaf/debris made play a little frustrating. It was an unusual distance from the clubhouse to the driving range. Nothing special about the practice area. Practice area would rate 2 stars because it was in poor condition but at least they had one.

Ruggles Ferry Nice

I have played this course several times. It is always in good condition with some very nice views of surrounding landscapes. The layout is challenging for golfers of all skill levels but allows some recovery room so every errant shot doesn’t kill your score. The staff is friendly and helpful. It stays pretty busy but pace of play is usually ok. A pond comes into play on a par 3 that is all carry to the green. Several holes have a creek in play. Greens and fairways are well maintained. It’s a little pricey if you don’t get a hot deal on Your golf app.

Always an enjoyable round

Greens and fairways are always in good shape. Greens were pretty fast but not like a table top. It has a coupe of nice elevated tee par 3s and very few (if any) blind shots. As long as you hit the ball where it should be you can see the green. Nice quiet gas carts with GPS. #2 is probably the least imaginative hole but does offer challenges. Clubhouse is adequate and staff are always friendly. They do a nice job of bringing a creek running across the course into play on 8 holes. Ruggles Ferry is in a beautiful pastoral setting.

A little above average-

Fairways and greens are usually good and well maintained other than a few soggy places with sprinkler system leaks. Some greens have crazy slope. The layout is good overall with some unique holes. #1 is a tight par 5 that requires 3 good shots to reach the green in regulation. #18 is a ball gobbler. Just enough water to make high handicappers crazy, mostly creeks with 1 small pond on a par 3. Pace of play is average . A nice clubhouse with restaurant and fairly friendly staff. Practice area is average.

Tennessee Centennial in August

Centennial is always a fun course.
Pros
1. It has at least 6 very unique holes.
Not crazy holes, just unusual but very playable.
2. It’s a course where having some local knowledge can save you several strokes.
3. Pretty good clubhouse with restaurant and pro shop.
4. Self braking golf carts with GPS. The self braking carts are a bonus on the hilly
Terrain.
5 fairways and greens are usually I pretty good shape.
6. Great deals on Golf Now.
7. On a normal day the pace of play is pretty good.

Cons- Not many.
1. No drink and snack cart. They did have water on several tees.
2. Bathrooms on the course could be cleaner.
3. Several holes had squishy places in the fairway from the irrigation system.

Better than it use to be

An inexpensive course to play but you get what you pay for. Fairways are a little below average while greens are ok but small. The layout has several issues that make it not so good. Because it is so affordable it tends to get its share of slow players who are not very good. The staff in the pro shop are very friendly and helpful.

Lost Creek ain’t what it use to be...thank goodness.

This course has come a long way since i first played it years ago. It still, however, has a long way more to go .
Pros
1. Cheap prices on Golf Now.
2. Nice, friendly and accomodating
3 Golf carts are in pretty good shape (no gps) but could really use a self breaking mechanism for steep hills.
4 Pace of play is usually good.
Cons
1. Greens are slow but in pretty good shape otherwise.
2. Fairways are not very good.
3. Course layout is average.
4. Only rest rooms are in the clubhouse so you better use them at the beginning and at the turn. They are roomy, clean, and everything works.
5. Not enough drinking water available on the course.

Nice bunkers, nice fairways. Greens good but pins were in tough spots today. Always enjoy Avalon but be VERY careful if the ground and cart paths are wet. They have really good carts that help keep speed under control on steep slopes.

A very nice course off the beaten path.

Overall the course was wonderful and well managed. Greens rolled well and were in good condition. There were a few places the fairways were a little wet but there had been some rain. The layout was good and the greens were very large. The sand in the traps was excellent and the traps were well maintained. We played the silver tees which were a little under 6,000 yards.

Very enjoyable.

This is one of the tightest courses we played on this golftrip. Keeping the ball straight off the tee was at a premium. Greens were still sandy from a recent aeration but we’re still pretty smooth and rolled well. Sand traps were in good condition as were the fairways. We played the gold tees which were a little more than 6,100 yards. The staff were friendly and helpful. We will come back.

We came back

A foursome of family and friends come to HH every year to play golf. Both of the Palmetto Hall courses are always on our hit list. The Cupp course was very nice. Fairways, greens and bunkers are always well maintained. Greens were medium fast and rolled well. The staff was helpful and we were happy with the pace of play. There are some holes that had some tricky greens but we had a great time in this course.

Very nice Course with a friendly, helpful staff.

I really enjoyed playing BurntIsland. The course was in good condition and with the "medalist" tees only 6000 yards, this is a course you can score on. If you are in Edinburgh, it's a short drive to play. There are some beautiful views of Edinburgh along the way.

It’s still outstanding.

Even though it’s gone through some challenging times River Island is still one of my favorites. A great layout, excellent fairways, still good greens. They are beginning to get the sand traps back playable. This course is in a beautiful setting surrounded by rivers, trees and nature. In my opinion River Island doesn’t have a bad hole on the entire course. The tee placements can make it as challenging as your skills desire. I play a lot of golf and this course is wonderful, fun, relaxing and challenging. I hope you will go get you some !!!

Plays longer than you think.

The lower 12 holes of the course along the river are very windy a lot of the time since there are few trees or hills to block the wind. The day I played it was cartpath only.due to wet conditions and the greens were still recovering from airiating. The pace of play was ok and the staff at the caddy shack were very helpful and friendly. I play this course a few times each year and enjoy the challenge. When you cross the road there are 4 holes that are in the hills and trees Which gives you a substantial change up. 17 and 18 are outstanding finishing holes. Try it, you'll like it
