Blackthorn Club

About Blackthorn Club

Blackthorn Club is an exclusive private championship golf course located in Jonesborough, Tennessee, serving the greater Tri-Cities area. Designed by Arthur Hills and opened in 1995, the 18-hole, par 72 layout winds through the quiet neighborhood of The Ridges and offers breathtaking views of northeast Tennessee's rolling landscape and magnificent vistas.

The course presents a traditional country club layout featuring winding canals, water challenges, and strategic bunker placement. Crenshaw Bentgrass greens are known for their quick speed and smooth roll. From the championship tees the course stretches 7,147 yards with a course rating of 74.5 and slope of 144, while the forward tees offer a more approachable 4,846-yard layout — giving members a wide range of options on every round.

In addition to the championship course, Blackthorn offers a practice range, short game practice area, and putting green. The Golf Shop provides full professional services including PGA instruction, junior programs, tournament events for men, ladies, couples, and juniors, merchandise, club storage, and handicap service.
