This course is one of the most popular in the Tennessee State Parks system. The par 72 course was designed by George Cobb and opened for play in 1972. It measures 6,601 yds. from the Championship tees and 5,204 yds. from the front tees. It is along rolling countryside and has a scenic view of the Lake from #5 tee.
