Centennial Golf Course — Local services in Oak Ridge

I will start off saying I love the layout of this course it is and has always been a really fun course to play. It does have it's issues as does most courses, the drainage is really bad it holds water everywhere. And the greens get really soft and have foot prints all over them and really bumpy if it has rain slightly tht week. But like I said it is a really fun course to play due to course layout. My issue is with the staff here, I have played here quiet a bit over the years and almost every other weekend this past year and the guy in the pro shop can be really rude at times. I was just playing there today and got online on supreme golf app and went to the course and scrolled to around 1:00 to book a tee time I had the settings on 18 holes and all tee times tht showed on my screen showed $32, to be honest when I booked I didn't even pay any attention to how much it actually was I just know tht all the tee times were showing the same price because I had played there many times and I knew it was reasonably priced so I didn't mentally acknowledged the exact price. I booked my tee time knowing the whole time if it was really slow, which this place is notoriously bad for, that I wldnt have time to play 18 because it was me and my son playing. But also knew tht if it wasn't slow we would b able to get 18 in. We'll we get there I pay for us both thankfully it wasn't at all bust so we made the turn about 20 til 4 so we kept playing knowing we wld get close to 18 but if we didn't the. We wld just get as many as we cld in because I know from playing there before dude wants the carts in by 5 no later than 515 and he is really anal about it. I mean I've worked at golf courses before and on the weekend people played til they couldn't see to play anymore, but I knew tht wasn't the case here from experience. So we make the turn and get on 11 and here comes a gut on a cart it wasn't the guy thts in the club house it's the guy tht washes the carts but he pulls up and says u need to go bak to the club house they said u ony paid for 9 holes I said oh I'm sorry I thought when I booked online it was for 18, he very rudely says no you were just supposed to play 9. I said again I'm sorry ill pay whatever I owe when we get through I know we probably won't get 18 in but I'll stop In when we get done. He says no u need to go bak now. So I drive bak to club house dude tht works in there is standing outside when we pulled up and says u all are good u don't have to pay anything. I said ok wondering why I had to drive all the way bak. And I said what time do we need to have the cart bak I'm sure we probably won't get 18 in thinking to myself especially now tht we had to drive all the way bak here for nothing, and he says oh if ur playing u got to pay to play u just can't play without paying. I'm thinking what the f**k r u talking about. I said I thought I paid for 18 when I booked it online I selected I wanted to play 18 and thts the price I paid, but I don't care to pay more if it's more I just want to play as much as I can before dark. And dude says for 32 dollars while laughing and looking to the guys thts was standing around outside talking like I was an idiot. I said I just know I told the app I wanted to play 18 and thts was the price it give which to b honest I have no clue what it actually was I said I assure u I'm not trying to cheat u out of any money. I've not once complained about having to pay more. I just thought I paid for 18...

Today was my last round at this course! The clubhouse staff are not a bit friendly. You walk in and they make you feel like you are bothering them. No one greets you, even though there always seems to be three to four people standing there. If you get really lucky one of them might make eye contact. There is a younger guy that always seems to be there, (in the last 2 to 3 years I've visited) with longer hair and a beard who is very smug. He must have family that works there, otherwise I'm not sure how he's lasted this long. The course itself is a fun layout, but not worth 40+ bucks imo. Many of the greens are in disrepair and the cart paths could use some work. The tee boxes are also set-up very strangely. Red is usually women's tees but not at this course. Please please do something about your staff! People play your course to relax and have a good time, not be treated like an unwelcome house guest. Maybe some training to teach the staff...

Would leave a zero star rating if possible, this course has sadly fallen into a state of disrepair, tee boxes bare, greens covered (100+ per green) in ball marks and divots, scratches and bare spots...on top of that the course is managed very poorly. We had two Saturday tee times we abandoned mid round due to it being so backed up, only to use the rain check for a Tuesday afternoon round at 2pm and they ran us into a Highschool tournament at the turn...which was very avoidable if they started us in the back. Unfortunately this course is now blacklisted for my group due to the poor condition of the greens, poor management and unhelpfulness of the staff, such a shame with a course full...
