I'll be traveling for work next week and will be spending a few days in Knoxville, TN.  Does anyone have any good recommendations for public courses in or near to Knoxville, or even good ranges?  All suggestions welcome.  Thanks!

I live in Knoxville so here's the 411 on it..in the order that i consider nice public

  1. Landmark Golf Club at Avalon community…golfnow..great rates and very nice course! Weekday 28 on golfnow 45 regular. http://www.avalongolf.com/
  2. Willow Creek Golf club ..very nice…45 during week I suppose… http://www.willowcreekgolf.com/
  3. Centennial Golf Course.. www. centennial gc.com course good shape…very tight and kinda hilly..golfnow also..27 to 35.
  4. Three ridges Golf Course .. www.knoxcounty.org/ golf / three _ ridges /index.php

Pretty good..course…on the eastside of knox…

Near McGee Tyson Airport golf

Pine Lakes Golf Ok course…29 to 33 ..totally public.. http://www.golflink.com/golf-courses/course.aspx?course=1045356

  1. Egwani Farms Golf…http://egwanifarmsgolf.com/index.shtml….Nice course but Avalon definitely better…for the $.

WEST is BEST in this town..for culture, places to stay and eat.  Anything WEST of Cedar Bluff Exit off i-40…or near airport is ok too….Only course near downtown worth it is Three Ridges Golf above..Turkey Creek Shopping and Hotel Area…anywhere on “Parkside Drive” plenty of hotels and over 80 places to eat in 1.5 miles…

TNGreg gave you good info.  Some more choices for you.

If you are stuck east of town, River Islands Golf Course, at the 402 Exit, is also a very good choice.  Nice challenging layout, scenic, good price.  If you are down I-75 towards Chattanooga,  Rarity Bay off the 72 Exit is good choice.  Well maintained, nice lake views, also a good choice.

If you do get to play Avalon, a piece of local knowledge - putts break towards the Interstate.

If you just want a driving range, your best choice is the one at Willow Creek.

Another option, especially if you are pressed for time, is the Wee Course at Williams Creek which is located close to downtown.  It is a Par 3 course, but it is one of the better if not best Par 3 courses you will play.  Built a few years ago, Fazio even had a hand in the design.  There is water, a lot of elevation changes, tight greens,  woods, a lot of fun.

I'll give a third recommendation to landmark at avalon.  Just got done with a family trip to Watts Bar Lake, about twenty to the course, and had a nice round there. Didn't shoot well, 87, but that had more to due with my short game than anything.  Interesting tidbit about the highway breaks, didn't notice that.  those holes along the highway are a bit distracting with the traffic.  Not sure if the weather has been dry there or not but the fairways were on the verge of burning out.

Man am I glad you guys mentioned Avalon.  Years ago, a large group of us were on our way to Franklin, TN for a golf trip and played "a course in Knoxville" on the way down and I never could remember the name of it.  It was Avalon!  It's been driving me nuts trying to think of the name.  Very nice course from what I remember.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?

      Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
