Course Management Needed

Played this course many, many times. The layout is a typical Appalachian.mountain setup and the course can be fun for seasoned or beginner type golfers. However, this course currently needs some TLC from a maintenance standpoint. Most of the greens are in bad shape with bald spots due to fungus and continue to deteriorate. The fairways are in fair condition but are shaggy on a majority of holes. The bunkers are not maintained. This course gets plenty of play so revenue shouldn't be a problem in addressing these issues. In my opinion, the revenue from fees applicable to green/cart/club rentals/accessories is being directed somewhere else. Despite the aforementioned, the staff is friendly for the most part, the mountain scenery is pleasant, and the food at the 19th hole is good.

A Starter Might Be Beneficial

Really like this course and the folks who manage it. However, today, pace of play was slower than usual due too many trying to start at the same time. Course really bogged down. A starter would help alleviate this.

Riverwatch: Upper Cumberland TN Mountain Golf

Leave the driver in the bag. This course is a great layout for mountain golf in the Upper Cumberland TN region. Once the fairways come back in the spring, it will be excellent once again.

Disappointed

Unfortunately, I have to give very poor review for FCF. I have played this course well over 100 times in my 25+ years of playing golf. I have never seen the greens in this bad of shape at FCF. Number 10 green is totally gone and they are quickly losing the rest. I dont know if the State of TN has cut funding or the greens have a biotic or abiotic issue but its terrible to see as this course can be one of the best in Tennessee. In addition, anyone playing this course in this condition should receive a discount and in this case, they charged us full price. On a good note, the fairways are in excellent condition. Hopefully, they will get some resolution or nobody will be playing this course in the future. I have to mark no in recommend a friend comment area and hate to do so.

Perfect Golf Weather

Course has not fully recovered from winter but is well on its way. Bluebird skies and sunny conditions around 65 to 67 F made for an excellent outing. Will be headed back to play again later this spring and summer.
