Hey guys, I'm looking for some ideas of golf courses in the area for our golf league that me and my buddies are starting in the spring. What are some of your favorites?

Not sure if all of these are still open, but when I was at UT I played Deadhorse, Pine Lakes, and Lambert Acres a lot. All good value. River Islands is really cool too for a bit of a drive.

Rarity Bay is a pretty good track that's not real far from Knoxville, River Islands is also a pretty good one.

Willow Creek is always in the best shape of any public course I play. Love the Tellico village courses also. E Farms mentioned earlier is good and so is Centennial.

Don't be scared to drive 45min to crossville. They have a Jack Nicklaus course called "Bear Trace" that I think is worth the drive. Egwani, Willow Creek, and River Islands are my 3 favs.

I have a great story about Augusta. A friend of mine got to play Augusta a few years back. He came up to a par 3 and was looking around the tee box like he lost something. He caddie asked "what are you looking for, Sir". He repied "a broken tee". The caddie took a new tee out of his pocket and broke it in half and handed him the top half and said "here you are, Sir".

Love River Islands also but if you want to come a little further up Millstone in Morristown and Clinchview in Bean Station are good courses. Also like Eagles Landing in Sevierville and Patriot Hills in Jefferson City.

And that's my favorite in the Tri-Cities. Wonderful layout. It would. be almost famous if it were not so far off the beaten path.

Three Ridges and River Islands are some of my favorites. I used to play Lost Creek about three times a week, it's not bad for a public course.
