Played 8/12/26. This is definitely not a $120 (senior weekday rate) course. We played…read moreSequoyah, a far superior course, for $99 the day before. Some very quirky holes...a number with blind tee shots. Fairways were in very poor condition, although greens were in good shape. I'd consider playing it again at $60 but no way it's worth that they charge. My group is taking it out of our course rotation. My rating of two stars reflects my opinion of what you pay for what you get, compared to other courses.

I think for the cost to play there are better options. There were to many blind shots for my…read moretaste. A few holes have blind tee shots with severely sloped fairways that you would have had to of played it before in order to have a chance. It was in fair condition for mid June but the grass in some green side areas was so long that you could lose your ball. Playing it out if you found it was nearly impossible. I wouldn't play it again for 50% of what I paid.

It was really nice to look through and find the rocks myself, being able to dig it up made it even…read moremore exiting when you found something. I would definitely come here again!

As a self-proclaimed rock hound, Rose Creek Mine met all expectations and more…read more Our family of 6 went on Sunday, most of us choosing the "DIY Dig" buckets for $20 per person. The experience consisted of digging up two buckets of dirt from the pile that was recently hauled from their Smokey Mountain mine, and using the provided equipment to sift through little by little. The DIY dig touts "non-salted" buckets, which was important to me, giving us as close to a real boots on the ground mining experience that a family of all ages can expect. The pictured peach moonstone was my favorite find of the day, and I also took home some really unique and reasonably priced pieces from the gift shop. I've done a few "dig & sifts" across the states and I was especially impressed with the staff helping to identify the material found and packaging up and labeling for later. The extra few minutes spent was so appreciated. Special shout out to Miss. Nancy for making my family's visit extra special!

Our lodge was amazing!!! Very spacious and clean. We had a group of eight staying here for our…read morecompany employee retreat for two nights and three days. Everyone had their own room with their individual access code for their assigned room. So we felt secure and it was like our home away from home for a few days. Also every room has a kitchenette and side table as well as living room. You also have access to your own private sitting room with chairs that is enclosed so you can enjoy the outside while in your own room. The main kitchen is big and has a large fridge and coffee maker and utensils. You may have to pick up your own food and drinks depending on your accommodations but there is a Walmart nearby, the lodge also has plenty of room to host a party or bbq. This is definitely a great place for whatever you're planning to do while in Franklin,

We were able to get a table for a large group of 9 very fast. For a dinner style where the whole restaurant is served the exact same meal the food took way too long to come and was very limited portion size for the meats and green beans. This was not due to number of servers as there was plenty of wait staff who were all very kind. The chicken was cut in unusual pieces. It was lacking in flavor. The batter was nice and crispy with moist chicken, just not flavored. It was well cooked and fresh. The catfish was amazing and absolutely perfect!!! The ham was nothing special. It was cut very tiny and smothered in an odd sweet sauce. The coleslaw was very good. We did not receive any potatoes. The beets were fine. The chicken pot pie was disappointing. The biscuits were beautiful, but lacking in salt. The apples were nice. The green beans looked beautiful, but had no flavor, use some beef bullion or salt, it would go a long way. The food was refillable, but also took way too long to get refills. The drinks were good and refills were quick with them. The dessert menu was well rounded: cherry cobbler, peach cobbler, chocolate cake, and vinegar pie. The portions were good. The vinegar pie had great taste, although the name is off putting. The chocolate cake was lovely. The peach cobbler was definitely the star dessert. The desserts were also refillable. For being a brand new restaurant I think they are headed in the right direction. It was beautiful and their staff was pleasant.
