Plenty of TVs, a screened porch on the second floor was very nice to hang out during the morning. There was a grill outside, a pool table and games on the bottom level, even corn hole. We also ended up renting a boat at Lake Norris for Friday and Saturday and went out tubing, swimming and lounging around in the water, which was great fun. The resort also had a golf club but we could not find any tee times. At the entrance to the resort is a small Winery, which we did not have time to visit but looked nice. A posted sign said they have live music on Saturdays. It was a relaxing getaway. Please note: getting to this resort can be a little hairy, and will take a little patience as it is probably the last leg of your trip: a very windy and hilly 12 mile stretch of road took about 25 minutes during the daylight upon embarking from the town of La Follette.

Amazing park, pretty big and with tons of running trails. Perfect for bikes and walking, golf course seems pretty good also. Have this small office with a park ranger there where I suppose that there´s some one to give you information. Free entrance and the road is really easy to drive, no difficult to get there. I can´t tell if you can camp there, because like I said, there was no one around to ask. Anyways, was lovely to see that there are this kind of parks and really there are a lot of parks around here in KY! Safe travels!!

I have played golf here before but had never eaten in the Woodlake Steak House so my wife and I…read moredecided to go there for date night. It is a bit of a drive but we had heard good things and decided to give it a try. I called in to check about reservations this past Thursday for dinner for two for the following night, Friday. I asked if a reservation was necessary and they said it is recommended so I set up our reservation for 7 PM Friday. We arrived a few minutes early and waited at the hostess station until 7:10 when the hostess showed up. She confirmed our reservation and said she had to check on our table. After 5 minutes or so she came back and apologetically said that it would be another 10 minutes so we went to the bar at 7:15. We waited another 10 minutes before finally being asked what we wanted to drink which was served about 5 minutes later. At 7:35 the hostess said our table was ready and we were escorted to it. The dining area was full and there were two large tables that seemed to be part of the same group and they were finished with dinner but were now drinking heavily. My guess is that they were tying up their many tables. After being at our table for 10 minutes we were brought over some rolls and butter and asked what we wanted to drink. We took the opportunity to order as well to get the show on the road. My wife ordered their salmon and I ordered the ribeye and both of us ordered a salad. We got the water and iced tea we asked for a few minutes later but the salads never showed up. At 8:05 we had enough and left. The server seemed surprised when I told her that then I said we had a 7 o'clock reservation and that over an hour later, we were still waiting for our salad with no main course in sight. Our evening was saved when we went to Tazwell and had a steak and salmon at the Rail Spikes Steaks. Great service and the best ribeye and salmon ever! I always look for the good and try to give grace on my reviews but our Woodlake Steak House experience was terrible. I don't blame the staff as they were kind and friendly. They said one of the servers called in sick. Management was not visibly present as far as I could tell. A good manager would be there in the mix, working to fill in for the staffing shortfall and talking to folks like us that were getting such poor service. As Jerry Seinfeld once said, "See, you know how to take the reservation, you just don't know how to hold the reservation. And that is really the most important part of the reservation: the holding. Anyone can just take them."

The owners are rude and a few other things We divided our 4-some up and played best ball to be efficient because they're still learning the game. We even let 2 groups play through because we were told no one was behind them. Ironically neither of those groups used the 90 degree rule, driving straight up the middle of the course Halfway through our 9 holes we recognized we were causing a backup to a pair playing behind us. We were running to get the balls not being used and occasionally didn't drive exactly 90 degrees but only at slight angles to try be as quick as possible Turns out the course owners were behind us and complained to the rangers that we be reprimanded because we weren't playing the 90 degree rule. Funny thing, neither were they. Understand it's their course but you'd think they would lead by example. Wont be returning Thanks to everyone else who made the 7.5 holes a great memory. Hope our play satisfied the owners on the last 1.5 holes

GOLF SNOBS BEWARE If you want ideal conditions, perfect…read moregreens and PGA quality everywhere this course is not for you and please stay away. But if you want someplace to hone your game with real people who care and a price you can afford, this place is for you. Yes it is your basic rural golf course with sand greens and some ragged places on site. It is also priced right and has several levels of play. The front nine is just right for the beginning to intermediate player. The front nine does reward good play but does not inflict pain upon mishits. The second, third and eighth hole encourages target golf and is a prelude to the back nine where the good to experienced player is challenged by target golf at its best with the fourteenth through seventeenth having bite if you do not place your shot in the right spot at the right distance. In short you can get yourself ready to play the type of courses that only the GOLF SNOBS play. This course is in the second year of upgrading and you will enjoy if you like golf.
