Holston Hills Country Club

Detailed description of Holston Hills Country Club

Holston Hills Country Club is a Private, 18 hole golf course located in Knoxville, Tennessee

Holston Hills Country Club first opened for play in 1927. The course was designed by Donald Ross.

This old, traditional course is a mix of links and parkland style. It has small, undulating greens. Water hazards (ponds) come into play on at least two occasions, a number of mature trees can affect your shots.

Donald Ross was proud of his work on hole #7, a 475-yard, par 5, which he considered a par 4 1/2 because of its split fairway that offers a longer but safer route to the right.  

A challenging shot is also needed on hole #11, a 200-yard, par 3, requiring a carry over a small valley.

Par for the course is 72. From the back tees, the course plays to 6932 yards. From the forward tees, the course measures 5351 yards. The longest hole on the course is # 5, a par-5 that plays to 614 yards. The shortest hole on the course is # 8, a par-3 that plays to 152 yards from the back tees.

Watch out for # 5, a 614-yard par-5 challenge and the #1 handicap hole on the course. The easiest hole is # 16, a 304 yard par-4.
