Lambert Acres Golf Club

Lambert Acres Golf Club sits in Maryville, Tennessee, in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains south of Knoxville. The course was designed by Ray Franklin, a regional architect active in the mid-to-late twentieth century who worked primarily in Tennessee and the surrounding states. The White/Orange combination represents one of several nine-hole routing options at this facility, which operates with multiple nines allowing for varied eighteen-hole experiences. The property occupies rolling terrain characteristic of East Tennessee, where elevation changes and tree-lined corridors shape the playing corridors. Courses in this region typically feature a mix of hardwoods and pines framing fairways, with seasonal color particularly notable in autumn. The layout reflects a straightforward approach to golf course design common to community-oriented facilities from this era, emphasizing playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating the natural topography. Lambert Acres serves as a public-access facility in the Maryville area, providing golf to both local residents and visitors exploring the gateway communities to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The club maintains a traditional structure with a clubhouse offering basic amenities and food service. The course sees steady play from area golfers and benefits from the moderate climate of the Tennessee Valley, which allows for an extended playing season compared to courses at higher elevations nearby.
