Course Report
The name 'Egwani' originates from Native American culture and means 'little river,' a nod to the course’s scenic border with the Little River visible from at least seven holes.
About
Egwani Farms Golf Course, designed by D.J. DeVictor, is a par-72, 18-hole public course set along the Little River in Rockford near Knoxville. Established in 1991 on former farmland, it features championship bermuda greens, billy-style bunkers, and five different tees, providing a blend of strategy and challenge for all levels of play.
Caddie Tip
If playing Egwani for the first time, prioritize accuracy off the tee on the tighter holes—especially 6 and the par 5s with multiple blind layups. Do not underestimate the thick second cut; keep drives in the fairway to avoid playing from punishing rough. Trust your green reads—many putts break less than they look.
The Main Challenge
The greatest challenge at Egwani Farms is managing approach shots to small, contoured greens while avoiding thick rough and Little River hazards. Off-line drives are heavily penalized by deep second-cut rough, and water looms on several holes. Strategic play and precision are absolute musts on tighter par 4s and 5s.
The Good
Golfers consistently praise the course's immaculate conditions, with fast, smooth greens and well-maintained fairways. The layout along the Little River offers a peaceful setting and holes that blend playability with challenge. Staff are known for their friendliness and service, adding to the enjoyable atmosphere.
The Not So Good
Some players note that GPS on the carts provides only basic data and not enough detail for hazards or distances to layup spots, especially on par 5s with blind tee shots. Improved directional signage and more robust GPS info would help first-time visitors navigate the course better.
Signature Hole:
#
6
Hole 6 at Egwani Farms is a memorable par 4 featuring a peninsula fairway that juts toward the Little River. The strategic tee shot, with water both left and long, demands accuracy and smart club choice. Approaching a well-bunkered green, the hole offers risk-reward opportunities that define Egwani’s best.
Clubhouse
The clubhouse offers food and beverage service, a pro shop with apparel and equipment, restrooms, and covered seating. While the amenities are not extravagant, they provide all essentials for public golfers and create a welcoming, relaxed environment.
Practice Facilities
Egwani Farms features a full driving range with several chipping and putting greens. The practice area is open and accommodating, though range buckets are not included with the green fee. The elevated tee area provides clear sight lines for warmup shots.
