Knoxville Golf Course
Played On 07/02/2016Great Shape
Municipal has been in great shape this year. Billy Casper Golf seems to be taking much better care of it now than in years past and the course is responding to their care taking. I've never seen their greens in better shape. I play here quite frequently so i've seen it in it's ups and downs and right now it's definitely on the upswing.
South Highland Country Club
Played On 07/04/2015Buy a mower
We visit this part of Ky once a year for family gatherings and i usually bring the clubs with me to play a round with other family members. Had never played South Highland, so I checked out the website and it looked like a decent place to play. Upon entering the facility it appears that at one time this club was very nice at but after checking in and practicing some putts something seemed a bit off. The greens were very long with some very rough spots on many of the holes. I would say it rolled a 4 on the Stimp if that. The main gripe that i had was that it didn't look like they had mowed their fairways or rough in a month which resulted in very slow play from higher handicapped members of our foursome. It's not the US Open so to increase pace of play the second cut should be mowed to an acceptable length. The bunkers were in good positions but their conditions were horrendous, no sand. I did enjoy the layout of the holes. That had some potential. But proper signage was in disrepair causing a first timer to get turned around more than once. This club employs the "two holes per green" method which i did not enjoy but that not to say it was bad, just different and not my cup of tea. Overall I would not play this course when we return to the area unless major improvements have been made. Its like they just gave up on this course and decided to ride it out as long as they can.
