About this course
The Highlands at the Sevierville Golf Club offers a distinctly Tennessee golfing experience, carved from the rolling foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. A modern design characterized by generous fairways, strategically placed bunkers and undulating greens, the course provides a challenging yet accessible layout for players of all skill levels. While offering stunning vistas, the terrain favors a strategic approach where risk-reward calculations are paramount. Designed by Bobby Clampett, The Highlands doesn't boast a championship pedigree, but instead provides a classic resort course experience. The course offers an open invitation to enjoy a round in the picturesque setting of the Smoky Mountains. Local lore speaks of a "devil's elbow" on the back nine, a particularly devilish dogleg left where errant tee shots frequently meet their doom in the thick rough. It's a course known for its friendly atmosphere, post-round tall tales, and the hearty Southern fare served in the clubhouse. While not vying for major championship status, The Highlands provides a relaxed and inviting atmosphere for casual golfers and vacationers alike.

Getting there
The Sevierville Golf Club is most readily accessed via McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS) near Knoxville, a straightforward forty-minute drive southeast through the rolling foothills of East Tennessee, or alternatively through Asheville Regional Airport (AVL) in North Carolina, roughly ninety minutes to the west. The final approach winds through the Smoky Mountain gateway towns, where the landscape shifts from pastoral valleys into the dramatic ridgelines that frame Sevier County - a transition that signals your arrival in one of the region's most prized golfing enclaves. Nestled in the foothills just beyond the bustle of Sevierville proper, the club sits positioned to capture both the quietude of mountain golf and proximity to the natural grandeur of the Great Smoky Mountains, making the journey itself a gentle immersion into the Tennessee highlands rather than a remote expedition.
