Hi all,

I will be in Knoxville this Sunday and I am looking for a course recommendation. I'm a 5-8 HCP and am willing to pay up to 75.00 ish, maybe more if something is really great.

Prefer to walk if possible but understand that many places are cart only on weekends.

Thanks in advance.

Adam

A few years ago my wife and I were in the area, and played at Avalon G & CC in Lenoir City.  I just looked at their website:

and it seems like the price is within your range.  As I remember, the course was in good shape, nice layout with elevation changes, overall a good experience.  They do say golf carts are required.  Good luck!

Check out WindRiver, it's in Lenoir City, just west of the city. Haven't played there, but it looks nice. You can also look at Three Ridges in east Knox County. Been a while since I've played there, but it was nice. When I lived in the area, I played at Lambert Acres in Maryville a lot. It's a decent course and fairly cheap. Has a great view of the mountains. If i think of more I'll post. Let me know if you have any questions on courses and I'll help you out if I can.

Thanks for the recommendations!

golfadvisor rated

Sevierville golf club highly. I like that they have 2 18-hole courses to make a day of it.

seviervillegolfclub.com

Any ideas on these?

Unfortunately, I've never played Sevierville Golf Club. It does look nice though, and scenic. And if it's rated high on golfadvisor, I don't see a reason not to play. Let me know how it was.

River Islands in Kodak, between Knoxville and Seiverville is an Arthur Hills design that plays along the French Broad River. Weekend rates with cart are $59 or $49 depending on starting time. The course opened in 1991 and I played it a few years after that with a group of former UT football players. The layout is classic Arthur Hills and very scenic. It's a course that I would like to play again, but have not made it back down to the Knoxville area. Give it a look.

For some reason, I thought they closed this course? Its a good course and definitely worth looking into if you're around that area.

Played river islands course this morning. GREAT setup if you like a challenge. lots of water and trouble. Greens were just waking up so there were some dormant places. Not country club upkeep and the bunkers were rough but I really liked it.

liked it enough that I replayed there.

78 and 82 left a few out there but happy for first time playing.

Is that the course with the French Broad River running through it?  It's a hoot to play when the river is in flood.  And if i remember correctly, power  buggies only, or ride a horse, as the track is long between some holes.
