Donald Ross's 1927 Masterpiece
Holston Hills Country Club stands as one of Tennessee's most revered golf destinations, featuring a virtually untouched Donald Ross masterpiece from 1927. This championship layout has been recognized as one of the purest Donald Ross courses in America, maintaining its original character while hosting some of the region's most prestigious golf events.
Built on the historic MacDonald Farm in East Knoxville, Holston Hills showcases Ross's legendary design philosophy with trademark crowned greens, strategic bunkering, and natural elevation changes. The course gained national recognition immediately upon completion, being hailed as the finest course in Tennessee and earning its place among America's elite golf destinations.
The 6,932-yard layout features Ross's signature green complexes with multiple pin positions and gentle undulations that create natural spectator areas. This pristine private club has preserved Ross's original intent while maintaining championship conditions that continue to challenge Tennessee's finest golfers nearly a century after its opening.
