Caddie's Summary:. The Authur Hills design is a scenic tour through rolling terrain
and flowing rivers. The course offers a much different feel than many of the other elite
Tennessee courses and has a mature landscape with a modern design. Challenges reside in
tight fairways with plenty of water, heavy rough, trees and deep bunkers. The course
plays a bit longer than the 7001yd (from tips) as fairway bends make placement key. The
greens range from extremely shallow landing areas to large and undulating and are most
often very well protected by water, bunkers or both. Staff at River Islands has a wealth
of experience and the Pro Shop is well stocked. River Islands is a beauty, full of
natural flavor and challenging golf. It is and will remain the public place to play in
Knoxville.
