About this course

Paris Landing State Park Golf Club sits along the western shore of Kentucky Lake in Buchanan, Tennessee, part of the Tennessee State Parks system. The course was designed by Gary Roger Baird and opened in 1970, offering a public golf experience within a state park setting that includes lodging, marina facilities, and recreational amenities. The layout takes advantage of rolling terrain typical of the Tennessee River valley region, with elevation changes and wooded corridors framing many holes. The course plays through a mix of open and tree-lined fairways, with several holes running near or offering views of Kentucky Lake. The routing incorporates natural topography, requiring golfers to navigate uphill and downhill lies while managing doglegs and strategically placed bunkers. Water hazards come into play on select holes, adding variety to the shot-making demands. The property's parkland character provides a scenic backdrop, particularly during spring and fall when the hardwood forests display seasonal color. As a state park facility, Paris Landing serves both local golfers and visitors to the Kentucky Lake recreation area. The course maintains a straightforward, accessible design philosophy consistent with public golf in the region, emphasizing playability across skill levels while incorporating enough challenge to reward thoughtful course management. The club operates as part of the broader Paris Landing State Park infrastructure, which draws tourists and anglers to one of Tennessee's largest reservoirs.
