Lambert Acres Golf Club
About this course
Red/Orange at Lambert Acres Golf Club represents Maryville's accessible heart of golf, a place where generations have learned the game amidst the rolling foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. While not designed by a celebrated architect, the routing, carved into the Tennessee landscape, offers a no-frills, engaging test that rewards strategic play over brute power. Favoring accuracy over length, the course’s narrow fairways, coupled with strategically placed bunkers, encourage thoughtful club selection and precise shot-making. Doglegs aplenty present risk-reward opportunities for those daring enough to challenge the course’s subtle defenses. The greens, while not overtly undulating, demand attention to detail, as subtle breaks can lead to frustrating three-putts. Lambert Acres, a fixture in Blount County, holds a special place for the local community. It's a gathering spot where you’re more likely to hear laughter and friendly banter than hushed tones of competition. Indeed, it's not just a golf course; it's a place where the ethos of the area is on full display.

Getting there
The journey to Lambert Acres Golf Club begins at McGhee Tyson Airport in Knoxville, a compact regional hub roughly thirty minutes north of Maryville. From there, the drive south follows the Tennessee River valley before turning toward the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, where the landscape softens into rolling pastureland and quiet residential enclaves. Lambert Acres reveals itself not with fanfare but with understated grace - a private sanctuary tucked into the gentle terrain of East Tennessee, where the Smokies rise like a blue-gray curtain just beyond the fairways.
