Came down for yearly golf trip, everyone at the course was unbelievably friendly, hospitable, funny and made you feel at home. They cook a mean fried bologna sandwich. Even gracious enough to let us keep our clubs on carts every night to be ready for next day. See you next year guys!

This is a beautiful course. The Tennessee Golf Trail courses that are part of the State Park system are extremely well maintained. Greens are immaculate.
Carved out of the forest, the fairways are all tree-lined. Many of the greens are protected by bunkers. This pushes the slope/rating above average / somewhat-difficult at 70.4/125 from the white tees. The iconic 4th hole drops down 150 or so yards to a green that sits by the shore of Kentucky Lake (the Tennessee River). Several other holes offer excellent water views.
The course is quite hilly, as well. Renting a one of their nice, electric carts is the way to go if you don’t want to be completely wiped out by the walk.

Called 2 days prior to check on course conditions as I had a 2:15 drive and had read some bad reviews and didn’t want to waste my time. Asked the guy on the phone about the course. He said “we have a couple greens that have had some issues but the course is in great shape”. Let me tell you, they had maybe 2 greens that DIDNT actually have issues. Several bunkers had little to no sand and others had standing water. Tee boxes were moved on every hole for no apparent reason (I understand moving the par 3s tees but why par 4s?). On top of that, somehow a group of 5 snuck in front of us on the back nine (we didn’t stop at the turn) and it turned a 3.5hr round into a 4:20 round. Should have asked for my green fees back. Avoid.
