What a hidden gem of a restaurant!! A friend recommended the Steak House to my husband and I and…read morewe decided to go for our anniversary on 2/11. We made a reservation for 5:00 pm. When you come to the Lodge and Golf Center you go into the main entrance and there's a hostess in the lobby. Since it was so close to Valentines Day the entire restaurant was decorated. As we were seated at our table we saw a pianist who was playing love songs softly in the corner. It was really nice. My husband and I were dressed in nice clothes but several people in the restaurant were wearing jeans so there really isn't a dress code. They had a Valentines menu but you could also order from the regular menu. We decided on the Valentines special: an appetizer to share (we chose shrimp cocktail), a choice of 3 entrees- Steak on a Stone, Lobster Ravioli or Tuscany Chicken (we both chose the Steak which was a 5oz filet seared on both sides and served on a 450 degree stone rare. The stone would continue cooking the steak until your desired doneness. I like mine Med but my husband likes his Med Rare so this worked out well for us. We both got a choice of 2 sides. I chose fried okra and baked potato. My husband chose mashed potatoes and green beans. We both got a dessert - a small red velvet cake plus a chocolate covered strawberry. The meal was DELICIOUS, the service was EXCELLENT and the atmosphere was very calming and pleasant. The pianist was an added bonus. We will definitely be back but we won't wait for a special occasion!

The clubhouse was fantastic The Rangers were great…read moreThe girl selling drinks and chips on the course was sweet and provided great service The course was perfect for how I wanted to treat my daughter and her husband both captains in the US Army, recently back from deployment in one of desert places. 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

Course was packed 8 minutes apart on tee times. Guys hit into us on hole 6 as we are on the green (…read morethe group in front of us just got to 7s tee box). One ball misses me by 5 foot second about hits playing partner. Guy behind us says ," You all are playing to slow I hit into on purpose to speed up we have 10 groups behind us. " I shout back the group in front just got to the box and they are waiting too. Called the pro shop Ranger did absolutely nothing. Said can't believe either side. Why would I call the pro shop if it was an accident? people miss hit or don't see people all the time. This goon straight up said " I did it on purpose.". if you want to play go somewhere else. apparently this course supports people trying to harm you.

The worst experience I've ever had during my numerous years of golfing. Not only have I golfed for…read morethe past several years, but I grew up in a neighborhood on a golf course and know the managers and how a proper establishment should be run. First off, I called ahead of time to confirm that the tee-time for 6pm I saw available online was still available. The grumpy old wrinkly prick who looks like a saggy sack rudely dismissed my question and said "tee time? We don't do those. Just show up and find out." We were making an hour long trip to get there which is why I called in the first place. Once we got there his attitude somehow got worse despite what we were expecting based on past experiences at other local courses. My friend and I had pre paid for golf cards that covered our visit through a local radio station and this man aggressively scribbled haphazardly on it instead of nicely checking the box like he should've. Our 2 other friends had to go in to pay and he was extremely rude to them as well. We had some fun golfing at first considering the awful condition of the course but once we got to the 7th hole the rude nasty man from earlier rode up to us on his golf cart to yell at us. He informed us that he received complaints of us taking carts onto the green and through the woods which we absolutely did not do. The closest thing I can think of is when one of my friends went to retrieve a ball she hit into the trees. He didn't give us the option to finish the 2 holes we paid for and instead told us we had to leave. He then proceeded to lead us through the green on the carts which is supposedly why they were asking us to leave. He also had been operating his cart under the influence of coors light and had an open container while driving. I have never felt so disrespected as not only a paying customer but also a woman. Never come here if you want to have a good time on a course.

This golf course represents East Tennessee in all of its beauty. Set on the banks of the French…read moreBroad River this course plays long. There are two long par threes over water and another hole where the back two tee boxes still leave you crossing water to the fareway. The scenery alone makes this course desirable and locals and golf enthusiasts will know it as the old River Island's course in Kodak, TN. Road signs near the course will still read River Islands. From a golf perspective this course is lacking in several aspects: there are no ball washing stations anywhere on the course, or the carts, yardage signs on the tee boxes seem to disappear after the second or third hole, and we had a 'ranger' that kept pushing us throughout our play, even though no one was within sight behind us. The price tag of $70 per person is more of a tourist rate than rates you will find in the Knoxville area for courses of similar or better condition. This course is a beautiful layout, in a gorgeous setting, but it is not being maintained to the level of $70 per player rates. I was disappointed.

Employee Threatened Me!!! 3 minutes ago…read moreNew My wife and I had a tee time this morning for our 35th wedding anniversary. We ask if we could play the back nine and the guy at the register said yes go ahead. We went out and started playing and the grass cutters were still working. I hit my shot at least 20 yards away from the guy on the mower. He then proceeded to threaten me saying that if I hit him he would kick my f....ing ass. He repeated it several times. His name I learned later was James when I went back out and ask another guy on a mower who he was. The other mower operator was very nice and apologized for his coworkers behavior. He agreed it was totally wrong. I went back into the clubhouse and told another guy what had happened. I had already gotten my money back so he said he didn't know what else they could do because it's hard to get people to cut grass. Really? It's ok to threaten customers because you have a hard time getting employees? I'm a retired service manager. I managed anywhere from 20-50 employees for over 20 years. So do you let 1 bad apple rot iin the basket till the whole basket goes bad? Or, do you throw it out and set an example for the rest of the company that it is unacceptable to treat customers in this manner? Thanks for a great start to our anniversary
