Holston Hills Country Club

Overview: Holston Hills Country Club follows the Holston River in Knoxville, Tennessee. Donald Ross's parkland design uses the river corridor, wooded edges, and rolling ground to create a course that feels closely tied to the landscape rather than isolated from it.

History: The club was founded in 1927 and the course is credited to Donald Ross. Later work has included a 2024 bunker restoration led by Kris Spence, part of an ongoing effort to recover the strategic character of the original design.

Did You Know? The fifteenth hole is known for its rounded 'chocolate drop' landforms. These mounds are a recognizable example of the shaping vocabulary associated with classic American parkland courses.
