Patriot Hills Golf Club



About this course
Patriot Hills Golf Club sits in Jefferson City, a small community in eastern Tennessee between Knoxville and the Great Smoky Mountains. The course was designed by Jerry Hodge, a regional architect who has worked primarily in Tennessee and the surrounding states since the 1990s. Hodge's designs typically emphasize playability for a range of skill levels while working within the natural terrain of their sites. The course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the Tennessee Valley region, where elevation changes and native hardwoods shape the playing corridors. Layouts in this area generally feature tree-lined fairways, undulating greens, and strategic bunkering that rewards accurate shot placement. The setting provides views of the surrounding foothills and agricultural landscape typical of Jefferson County. Patriot Hills serves as a daily-fee facility accessible to both local golfers and visitors exploring the region. Courses of this type in smaller Tennessee communities often emphasize a welcoming atmosphere and straightforward golf that suits recreational players while offering enough challenge for more accomplished golfers. The routing likely takes advantage of the property's natural movement, with holes playing across ridges and through valleys common to the area's topography.

Getting there
The journey to Patriot Hills Golf Club begins at McGhee Tyson Airport in Knoxville, a comfortable forty-minute drive northeast into the rolling foothills of East Tennessee. The route traces Interstate 40 before peeling off into quieter state highways, where the landscape softens into pastureland and wooded ridges characteristic of the Cherokee Lake region. As you approach Jefferson City, the road narrows and climbs gently, trading suburban sprawl for the unhurried rhythm of small-town Tennessee, until the entrance to Patriot Hills emerges - a secluded retreat carved into the natural contours of the land, far removed from the noise of the valley below.
