The Links at Kahite stands as the crowning achievement of Tellico Village's golf offerings, opening in 2002 as the third and most spectacular championship course designed by the prestigious architectural firm Ault, Clark & Associates. Nominated by Golf Digest as the "best new private course in 2003," this true links-style layout represents one of the most beautiful golf settings in the American South, surrounded by the pristine waters of Tellico Lake with panoramic views of the Great Smoky Mountains.
The championship course stretches across over 200 acres of dramatic terrain, offering six distinct tee options ranging from 7,170 yards down to 4,435 yards, ensuring an appropriate challenge for every skill level. The black tees present a formidable test with a course rating of 74.9 and slope rating of 139, while the expertly designed shorter tees maintain the strategic integrity of the layout. The course features bentgrass putting greens and Bermudagrass playing surfaces, providing consistent conditions year-round.
What truly distinguishes The Links at Kahite is its authentic links-style design philosophy, rare in American golf. The layout incorporates 93 strategically placed bunkers throughout the course, with the spectacular 18th hole alone featuring 12 bunkers that guard the approach to the green. The course's most famous feature is the legendary 9th hole, an extraordinary 808-yard par 6 that presents one of golf's most unique and challenging experiences, demanding strategic decision-making and course management skills.
The course has established itself as a premier tournament venue, hosting multiple Tennessee Golf Association events and serving as host for PGA Tour Nationwide Open Qualifiers in 2009 and 2010. This tournament pedigree demonstrates the layout's championship credentials while showcasing its ability to test the games of professional and amateur golfers alike. The Links at Kahite was recently honored as Tennessee's Private Course of the Year by the Tennessee Turfgrass Association in December 2022.
Beyond the golf course itself, The Links at Kahite provides a comprehensive championship experience with state-of-the-art practice facilities including a driving range, practice putting green, and short-game areas. The course is supported by an exceptional staff led by Head Golf Professional Charles Roffers and Head Golf Course Superintendent Jordan Clark, ensuring that every aspect of the golf experience meets the highest standards of excellence.
The clubhouse and community amenities complement the golf experience with a full-service clubhouse, fitness center, outdoor pool, and restaurant with outdoor patio overlooking the course and lake. As the flagship course of Tellico Village's three championship layouts, The Links at Kahite represents the pinnacle of links-style golf design in Tennessee, offering a truly world-class golf experience in one of the most spectacular natural settings in the southeastern United States.
