This course truly is a hidden gem. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Prices are very reasonable, the greens fees are an excellent value. The Jack Nicklaus course design is challenging, but also getable in places. Each hole plays differently. You won't get bored thinking your way around this course. Lots of elevation change, uneven lies, and shots to elevated greens. I hit some long bombs on the fairways that featured a downhill slope. Some other Tennessee golf courses get a lot of fanfare and hoopla, but this could be the best in the state. It's definitely worth a weekend road trip from the Nashville or Memphis area. They have rental cabins on site, and there are also plenty of Airbnb options in the area. Pickwick Lake State Park is about a 35 minute drive.

I probably haven't played here in 10yrs and in between the course closed for a while. The layout is still very good but the conditioning could use improvement. Overall it's a good course. The picture is of their beautiful Japanese Maple at the clubhouse entrance!

Unbeatable value for the money. Beautiful design. Can’t believe it’s possible to play a Jack Nicklaus designed course for under $40. But therein lies a problem. With rates this low and light play (nearly had the course to myself today), the once “best public course in TN” is showing some age. The Nicklaus design is still evident in his signature bunkering, but they are not well-kept. One of the greens was in bad shape with a fungus that made it nearly unplayable. Were it not for a recent hay harvest, any ball off the fairway would have been hopelessly lost. This is in no way an indictment of the course ownership or management. Quite the contrary, they appear to be squeezing every penny out of their revenue stream and putting it all back into the course. Here’s hoping they can put it back on an upward trajectory and return it to its former glory. Regardless, I’ll be back.

Fun, enjoyable, humbling, challenging, and well kept are accurate descriptions for this course. The course has thick native grass buffer zones, tight fairways, multiple water hazards, and an abundance of streak ending bunker locations that will force you to play conservatively. It will make you reconsider your club distances if they're not dialed in and you'll be pondering shot placement on several holes to navigate hazards and set up for approaches. You should definitely give this one a try, but be sure to bring an extra sleeve or two of balls.

New Management is AMAZING. This course is 10/10 , lucious fairways and beautiful greens that play relatively quick, location is beautiful with each hole bringing a different and unique set of challenges. Be sure to bring an extra sleeve or two of balls for sure. Beautiful pro shop stocked with snacks/drinks/beer/accessories and apparel. You just can't beat this place for the price. Driving range and putting greens available for your pre-round warm up. Worth the drive from anywhere in TN.
