Holston Hills Country Club

The setting amplifies everything. Knoxville sits where the Ridge and Valley region of the Appalachians gives way to the Tennessee River system, and the rolling, wooded terrain at Holston Hills is exactly the kind of land Ross preferred: enough natural movement to create drama without forcing it. Mature hardwoods frame nearly every hole, giving the course a cathedral quality that feels entirely of its place.

As a private members' club, Holston Hills offers the unhurried, relationship-driven golf experience that has largely disappeared elsewhere — a course worth knowing someone to play.
