Located just outside of downtown Knoxville, Williams Creek Golf Course is a par 3 championship course that sprawls across 98 acres of rippling terrain accented by creeks and ponds, challenging short game skills with holes that range from 85-245 yards. At the elevated tee box on the first hole, players have the chance to peer out at what lies ahead, from the fast-playing bent-grass greens to any wildlife wildly waving foam fingers along the edges of maincured fairways. Each hole presents a different challenge: number six, for instance, forces shots to soar over water, and number 14 boasts the longest distance at 245 yards. Players can prepare for such hurdles by taking advantage of the other on-site facilities, which include a fully stocked pro shop, a driving range, and lessons from PGA and LPGA professionals.
