We we were assigned a table and chairs and could order food and drinks from the bar across the road. We even got table service. The service was excellent. There was a live band playing.

Bob requested rare and they said they'd see what they could do, the result medium well--his was much juicier than mine. As soon as we arrived, the staff delivered a cart to our car so we loaded up before lunch. I used the bathroom to put on suntan lotion, the women's locker room was well maintained and they seem to have an active women's league. The course is very well maintained and plays along the hillside. Water comes into play on the 9th, 17 and 18th hole. The real challenge here is side hill play.

My favorite part is the "Loop" course. It is a 3-hole Par 3 course with 3 different tees, so you can play it as a 9 hole course if you wish. You get the experience and fun of a golf course, but you don't need a tee time, you don't need to make a foursome, and you can play as much or as little of it as you like. It's perfect for someone who either has a tight schedule or likes to golf on the spur of the moment. You will also find two driving range areas with unlimited range balls, a chipping area, and a few putting greens. They also have some of those things indoors too if the weather gets rainy or too cold, but I haven't really checked that out yet since they weather has been so great. Even if you're considering joining, I would encourage you to take a tour of the place. Sometimes they have membership specials and you will find that joining here for a year is a lot cheaper than a membership at every other golf course in the area. It also has many advantages that other courses can't offer.

A practice range and putting area is also available for practice before or after work; just minutes from the interstate 40/75 or Pellissippi Parkway.

Most of the tees have been moved to temporary locations so the regular tee boxes can heal. The grass on nearly every green is dying out and each green needs to be rolled.
