Dandridge

As one of the first golf courses built in the area, Dandridge Golf & Country Club has developed a reputation as an enjoyable round of golf for the beginner or the seasoned professional.

The original 18 holes, designed by Dan Maples, meanders its way through valleys, hills, and woodlands. Then, in 1991, nine more holes were added with the same characteristics or the original design, bringing the area’s first 27-hole golf complex. And if the course itself doesn’t offer enough scenic beauty, you will often find yourself pausing to admire the views of the Great Smokey Mountains and Douglas Lake. Dandridge offers the same lush bermuda fairways and bentgrass green as its sister course (Patriot Hills).

All combinations are par-72 and measure approximately 6,100 yards from the back tees, 5,800 yards from the regular tees, and 4,900 yards from the forward tees.

Tee times are recommended daily. Dandridge is a public course.

The par 72 course measures 6,710 yards from the back tees, 6,068 yards from the regular tees, 5609 yards from the senior tees, and 4974 yards from the forward tees.

Patriot Hills is open to the public. For tee times call (865) 475-4466, or visit their web site at www.patriothillsgolf.com.
