I always seem to gravitate to Centennial for a good location and solid price from Golf Now.... but it's getting harder and harder to justify going back.

Course was in tough shape top to bottom. Greens were very bumpy and not only needed to be cut but had insect holes and dead spots everywhere. The area around the greens was also shaggy and appeared to be forgotten about and nearly every tee box was beat up and rock hard.

Pace of play is always an issue at Centennial as well due to the blind tee boxes all over the place and the bottleneck design.

Picture attached was one of many green areas that looked similar to this.

Another course I was lucky enough to be able to play through a friend - this place was in incredible shape, especially for late in the season. Greens were fast but received the ball well, fairways were absolutely gorgeous and their bunkers (which I was told were new) were in great condition.

I'd play this course three times a week if I could with it's central location and great shape.

You don't hear much about Lambert when folks talk about courses in the Knoxville area, but this course is worth the drive out of the city. The lack of tee time availability during the week is a bit of a pain, but not a huge deal.

It was in really good shape, the views from several tee boxes were excellent and the 36 holes provide different options for regular players.

I would recommend highly to anyone.

the Oaks is a great course, especially if you can snag one of the bargain prices they regularly post.

I played here for $12 with a buddy and for that price, pretty much anything would be acceptable. However, this course provides much more than just a cheap outing. Usually in above average shape with attention to detail in terms of tee boxes being maintained and areas around green being manicured.

Good course made great by the price.

I was fortunate enough to snag a round with a friend who is a member. Everything you'd want in a course; perfect condition, true lies, rangers placed around for pace of play reminders.
Fantastic experience.

I guess you get what you pay for here. Course is in very rough shape in regard to both the esthetics and terrain.

About 8 holes that are basically the same set-up from tee to green I thought. Greens were bumpy, cart paths (where there were any) were bumpier and the maintenance staff seemed unaware of the patrons while they cut grass, etc.

Fun course if you've got nowhere to be and about 12 cold beer (per golfer).

Course is always in good shape, with a lot of unique and challenging holes.
Greens are excellent with very challenging pin placements. Very good value for the price.
