WOW. Course looked great, and is clearly going through major renovations! All of the bunkers are in the midst of renovation, the club house and apparently cart paths. David in the shop was super nice, and helpful. The food truck was great, and even delivered to me while I was on the 11th hole!!!

Not enough good things to say. It's Winter conditions, greens are amazing but rest of grass is yellow and dormant. Nice to these improvements to all 18 holes. I did hear they are leasing the downstairs to a restaurant next year... that will be nice to finish the round and have a place to sit.

If you are in the area, or haven't played at this course in a while, you need to. It's a challenging layout along the river, fairways are great and greens are amazing right now. Quick note: If you play on the weekend morning you need to book on-line. David told me the course is trying to minimize traffic in the ProShop on busy days due to COVID19. Just a heads up. I will be back!

Hit em' straight..

Always enjoy supporting golf in Knoxville. It's been a hot Summer, and I am anxious for the Fall, especially to see course conditions turn around.

We are blessed with inexpensive golf and a variety of courses in the Knoxville Area. This course needs some turf improvements, but I enjoy the layout. Candidly, while this is a municipal course and our tax money helps support it, I would like to see it improved. It's a lot to expect all courses to be "perfect" when we aren't paying a lot at the counter. Always enjoy coming out, staff is nice - and its golf! Not sure how many non-municipal courses are surviving when the prices are low to play. Maybe if we pay a little more we can expect a little more....

I want to give props to this course. It has been revered as one of the best since its inception. It is easy to criticize a course for not being perfect all of the time, but frankly for what we pay to play, perfection isn't realistic. This a great course at an exceptional value.

I am a low handicap golfer, and fickle at times. I play all around Knoxville & Severierville each week, then travel around EAST TN to play as well. This course ranks top 3 for condition, in my opinion. Now, some traps need to be cleaned up, and apparently the irrigation that waters holes #9, #11 and #12 was impacted by a lightning storm. So, those greens were a little thin and they used black sand to help the healing process. I happened to see the superintendent hand watering, he explained. He also told me they were aerifying on June 8th. I saw a couple of reviews that talked about the greens and I felt all but 3 greens were GREAT, the 3 others were good and they rolled fine, but were a little sandy (to help). Again, moot point since the greens are being aerified. They have a dwarf bermuda on the greens and it should be ready to go in 10 days, unlike bent grass greens.

If you have never played this course, you won't find a BETTER golf course. Arthur Hills has a great layout here, and the scenery is unlike any other course in EAST TN. It is well maintained, and you won't be disappointed. It gets busy, so play early if you can!

OH... and for those of you who think operating a golf course is easy and should be perfect all of the time - take a look at what this course had to address (plus I included a picture of one of the greens). Saw the golf cart in the lake on my way to #16 tee box.
