Pros:
Well I know why this course is called cutthroat!!!
-not really any short holes on this course bring your Max distance drivers. It's a good place for people who like to air shots out.
- there's some really well designed holes on this course with par 4s and par 5s
Some elevation change plays in nicely on hole 5/17
-hole 10 is my favorite hole a tight shot through the woods with ob road down left side the only wooded hole on this course
The baskets and tee pads are nice
The course loops well from the start to bring you back to the parking lot
There's some variety and some really clever hole designs

Cons:
I don't know what it is...but this course is just kinda boring. Mostly open shots that will test your distance.
This is a great course but I don't see many players wanting to play here when the rest of Farragut offers a lot, and more variety. Rounds can be pretty long and grueling.

Other Thoughts:
I think this is a great tourney course for advanced and open but outside of tournaments I wouldn't imagine this gets picked to play very often.

Pros:
Nice large concrete tee pads
Flow is good, but there is some walking between holes
Much more open than the other Farragut courses, but still has a good number of trees in play
10 par 4's and one par 5 that almost all require a well-placed tee shot for a good chance at birdie
Some elevation in play
Good mix of L to R, R to L, and straight tee shots
Excellent challenge for 400'+ throwers

Cons:
A few of the par 3's are very lackluster
Grass outside of fairways does not get mowed, it can be tall and thick in wet years
Several laminated tee signs missing at time of review
Some footing and run up issues on the uneven ground, but mowing and play is making it better each year
No benches

Other Thoughts:
If you can't throw at least 300' you would be better off on any of the other courses onsite. I max out around 340' these days and only 5 or 6 of the holes on Cutthroat are decent birdie chances for me.
Tree trimming of the bottom 4'-6' of the evergreens in play during the past year has helped the course play much better.
Plan on giving your distance drivers a workout, easily one of the longest courses I've played.
The Hole Info tab shows distances for blue tees, the gold tees are the only tees in play currently.
I was surprised to see six cars parked at the Cutthroat parking area on the day I last played it. It is starting to see more play.
Playing Cutthroat is physically like playing two rounds on an average course, plan accordingly if you have multiple rounds at Farragut in mind.
