Andrew Johnson Golf Club
About this course
Andrew Johnson Golf Club sits in Greeneville, a small city in the foothills of northeastern Tennessee, approximately an hour from both Knoxville and the Great Smoky Mountains. The course was designed by Robert C. Walker, a regional architect active in the mid-to-late twentieth century who produced several layouts across Tennessee and neighboring states. The club takes its name from the seventeenth president of the United States, who made Greeneville his home and is buried in the town. The routing occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the Tennessee Valley region, where the landscape transitions from agricultural lowlands to the Appalachian highlands. Walker's design works with the natural elevation changes, creating a variety of approach angles and stances throughout the round. The course features tree-lined fairways typical of parkland layouts in this part of the state, with hardwoods framing many holes and providing definition to the playing corridors. As a community-oriented facility in a town of modest size, Andrew Johnson serves both members and public play, functioning as a gathering place for local golfers. The club offers a traditional small-town golf experience, where the focus remains on accessible golf in a pleasant setting rather than championship length or tournament pedigree. The course provides a straightforward test suited to a range of skill levels, with the surrounding East Tennessee scenery offering a backdrop of wooded hills and pastoral farmland.
