Maintained like a private club. Excellent greens. Not busy on weekdays.

Very nice course with spectacular views but definitely a placement course. Need to drive it straight to stay in play. Some holes with severe elevation changes. Greens are excellent.

This is a great course for the money and in really good shape.

The course is in really good shape, played from the blues, might as well been the tips which really streches out the course but make it a good challenge to the more advanced golfers. Greens are in really good shape.

Beautiful course, foursome had a great time!

Beautiful course in good condition. Scenic. Challenging holes We played on a busy Sunday afternoon and waited a few minutes to tee off but not bad. One of the most scenic courses I've played in a long time. Weather threatened briefly but we were rewarded with a rainbow.

Challenging but fair course

Natural rolling hills and valleys that the course incorporates eliminates the need for man made features. While not on the lake the views of the lake and mountains are incorporated into the scenery. Great value. In great condition.

Challenging course with lots of hills and level changes.

WindRiver is a very well maintained, beautiful course in the hills of Tennessee. There are numerous elevation changes, hills, bunkers, and narrow fairways. The course is excellent, and was not too crowded.

Great course - Needs Ranger

I have played this course several times before and it is always in great shape. Front nine has several blind shots due to the terrain, and back nine is a little more open. Course is in excellent condition with greens especially smooth. I would have given this a five-star rating, but play was extremely slow. Starter mentioned this when we first teed off, but they needed a ranger to move thins along. Our round took about 5 1/2 hours.

Great greens, great fairways!

A challenging course with undulating greens and fairways that will set your ball up nicely for that great 2nd or approach shot. The only negative is the traps are a bit hard and need sand. Great course layout!

One of the best public access courses in the area

A very challenging course which requires that you utilize all of the clubs in your bag. A massive course with large fairways and large greens. Expansive fairways allow use of driver on all par 4's and 5's. Approach shots, particularly on the back nine, are extremely demanding. Very difficult greens; you must be on the proper level or you will three putt. If you cannot break 100 on a slope 120 course, you will be decimated on this course. This is not a course for hackers.

Wind River 7/8/13

Great conditions from the tee boxes , to the fairways, to the greens. Very challenging course. The only knock against it is that a couple holes were not made for novice, or even intermediate golfers in mind ( # 9). But the pace of play was great. We played as a threesome on a Saturday, and never had to wait to hit. Great course!!

Right course with high quality yet reasonable price

It is a bit away from Knoxville but provides good experience in golf. This course has 'five' tee boxes for each hole depending on handicaps. I like this course and will visit again very soon.

Very Nice Course

I love this course. The layout keeps you away from the other golfers so it is very quiet, it long enough for big hitters,and reasonable for us older guys hitting drives around 240 yds. The greens are in excellent condition with plenty of undulations to keep the putting challenging, but not overly fast. The guys in the golf shop make you feel appreciated for being there, very friendly. They obviously need a club house and I hope they get to that level.

The course was in excellent condition.

I played Wind River a couple of years ago when it was Rarity Pointe. It is in much better condition now,the staff was very friendly. Although there had been a lot of rain,and it was cart path only at this time,the course was in excellent condition. I will defenitely be back.
