Sevierville Golf Club: Just North of Pigeon Forge
Sevierville Golf Club: Championship Golf in the Heart of the Smokies
Located in the scenic foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, the Sevierville Golf Club stands as one of Tennessee’s premier public golf destinations. Originally opened in 1994 as Eagle’s Landing Golf Club, this facility quickly earned recognition, receiving a four-star rating from Golf Digest and a nomination for the magazine’s “Best Public Course” honor just a year later.
In 2008, the course underwent significant expansion and a complete transformation. The redesign introduced an additional 18 holes, and the club was rebranded as the Sevierville Golf Club. Today, it boasts two 18-hole championship courses designed to challenge players of all skill levels while showcasing the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape.
The Courses
- The Highlands: A par-70 course that weaves through gently rolling hills and tranquil freshwater ponds, offering a thoughtfully designed layout ideal for a strategic round of golf.
- The River: A par-72 course that follows the winding path of the Little Pigeon River, providing picturesque views and dynamic play across riverside fairways.
Additionally, the club offers a 9-hole option along the front of The Highlands course, perfect for a shorter round or casual play.
Both courses feature tree-lined fairways, rolling terrain, and water elements that come into play on most holes. Originally crafted by DeVictor and Melnyk, the design integrates medium-speed, slightly sloped greens with a standard rough to define the playing areas.
Facilities and Amenities
The Sevierville Golf Club has played host to numerous championship events and offers an excellent range of practice facilities, including:
- A full driving range

The clubhouse provides sweeping views of the Smoky Mountains, the Little Pigeon River, and both golf courses. Guests can also enjoy casual dining at the on-site bar and restaurant, known for its welcoming atmosphere and value-friendly menu.
