This place has a lot to offer whether you are a novice or an experienced golfer. They are…read moremembership only, but they will gladly show you around to see all you get. 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.

I really struggled with the rating here - for me it's a 3.5 overall…read more Highlights: The playground portion was awesome, fully accessible for me to go in and keep up with our little dude. The open spaces to roam are essential for us, and we felt good about him being on the playground side. The staff was really nice on the way in and was occasionally walking the grounds, picking up, checking in, etc. Improvements needed: the hands-on toy section needs a redo. At one point, I'd say it was in excellent quality...but it's clear wear and tear and no investment have led to some of the tiny rooms leaving little to the imagination, with most stuff scattered about with no structure (and existing toys worn out). Kids can make the most of a lot, but this needs a refresh. Side note...the furniture has some sharp points too...if budget can't permit replacing with things with smoother edges, then at least put some covers on the corners. We didn't feel good about that section and tried to block and cover it. That, or gate it. All aside, we are grateful for all the little spots like these that give variety to our kiddo with special needs.

From what I understand, this event required very little planning on the side of the corporation. The staff took over and absolutely made it work. The buffet was above standard. I'm not talking "omg bistro gourmet fantastic," BUT...I had the pot roast AND the salmon lol. And yum to both. The space itself is probably very close to your mental image of a country club. Classic to the point of almost being chic again. I can't speak to general membership here, but if you're hosting an event, go for it. Very little effort on your end with delightful results. There was lots of praise among fellow guests.

There's a sign that you can't spend more than 5 minutes in the clubhouse at the turn. Meanwhile there's 1 person making sandwiches/ serving 6-7 people at a time. If you go, bring snacks. By comparison, the rangers at Avalon up the road are always coming around offering water and cold wet towels. Completely different experience.

We were seriously considering the…read morepurchase of a boat but came across this boat club while searching for boat marinas and boats for sale. When i started doing the math, it was a no brainer simply based on membership cost vs. buying and upkeep, also the fact I didn't want the hassle of boat maintenance and storage if i could avoid it. We are now members and have enjoyed every family moment making new memories. I(we) love just showing up and having the boat ready to go and then returning the boat...walking back to the car without having to do anything work related and off to enjoy the rest of our day. The reservation is easy to make using an app if you so chose. Another cost saver is that they provide all the toys and ski jackets. I really hope they open a location at Norris lake which has been talked about.

We have…read moreonly been members for two months and have had several unforeseen tragic circumstances in our life (injury to my knee, which will not allow me to get in and out of the boat on the ladder). We requested to terminate our membership because we can no longer use it. Another One of our unforeseen circumstances is moving out of state and there is no Nautical Boat Club near our new location. I did not ask for a refund of my Huge deposit (several thousand dollars). I also did not ask for a refund of my monthly payments. Although, we have only made two payments. Extremely disappointed in this allegedly family run business. I understand that they have a company to run. But they could take my huge donation and run with it. They blamed it on membership, but they no longer have a member. Extremely disappointed in this company. God bless! Chose wisely. Hopefully you don't have any emergencies or injuries or unforeseen life changes. Because they don't care. Awful! They can let me out of the contract if they wanted to.

I guess I am spoiled with a hometown children's museum of play.. I am so glad we went in to give it a chance, the employees here are wonderful. Very welcoming. The exhibits are diverse and many hands on touch this or that ability. There were some dated videos of the Appalachian culture but honestly it gave it an appeal and definitely a time gone by. The exhibits and explanation of the Manhattan project were very interesting. All of us walked away learning a lot about oak ridge and that era around world war 2. We spent a good two hours in the museum and didn't read it all, we happened to be walking in right before a school group of 30 little kids and parents. Initially it was loud but there was enough space that we didn't have to be around all the chaos real little kids bring. Some of the exhibits were geared for smaller kids but our 2nd grader had no problem enjoying the experience. I mean who doesn't love a "doll house" that has two levels, For the price and exhibits I would suggest it to anyone especially if you have a history buff in your family.

What a fun find, and close to our new place! The building is unassuming and it looks like a much…read moresmaller space than it actually is. When we arrived, we parked in the free and easy lot and were greeted immediately. We saw that masks as of 10/15/21 are still required within the museum (and everyone we saw was properly wearing one, both kids and adults). After paying and being given a map, we began to explore, my kids initially complaining that they were bored (ugh.). We had begun with the cultural and historical exhibits, which showed cultural elements of different countries and a section on Appalachia, complete with replicas of log cabins and interactive screens showing the lifestyle. After we left this section, the kids perked up and really enjoyed the farm store/sorting produce, the fish aquarium, the outer space room with rocket, and the microscope to view differing hair follicles. We didn't realize we went upstairs to the bathrooms that we hadn't even seen half of the museum at that point! SO many things to explore, such as a water room with a flowing water track and boats, info on origins of Secret City, Girl Scout info, music room, rain forest, a bird's nest room, puppet room (not currently interactive due to COVID), and my kiddo's favorites: the model railroad area with working train tracks, and the kid/life size doll house room. We closed out the museum and were the last people there. Not the biggest or most interactive museum we have been to, but we still enjoyed it and are thrilled that it is close to home. We ended up buying a family membership before we left, which only cost $90 for a full year. If you buy same-day, you can roll in the entry fee you already paid toward the membership cost. And don't forget to stop by the city park next door when you're done. It's a good one and has a great hill to roll down.
