Championship Golf on Watts Bar Lake
A Greg Norman Signature course ranked among Tennessee's top 10. Designed for every golfer. Built for a community.
Book A Private TourA Course Worth Knowing
Greg Norman designed this course with a clear vision: create something that challenges serious golfers while remaining playable for members of all levels. What emerged in 1998 was a championship layout that sits among Tennessee's top 10 courses, managed by Troon Golf and shaped by dramatic elevation changes, strategic water features, and views of Watts Bar Lake that remind you why you love this game.
The course spans 7,393 yards at par 72, with five sets of tees so you choose your own challenge. Scottish-style bunkers, dramatic routing, and hole designs that reward strategy—this isn't a course you forget. It's one you come back to, week after week, always finding something new.

Whether you're a 25 handicap or a scratch golfer, the course fits your game. The design philosophy is clear: reward smart play, punish poor decisions, and make you want to come back tomorrow to try again. That's why members don't just play here. They belong here.
The Social Golf Scene
Golf at Tennessee National is as much about community as it is about the game. Regular members form their own groups—the Tuesday morning crew, the weekend warriors, the couples who play together. These aren't just foursomes; they become friendships that last for years. You don't just play golf here. You belong to something.
Throughout the year, the course hosts events that bring the community together: the Club Championship, the Member-Guest Tournament, pro-am events, the Josh Dobbs Tournament, our popular Couples Costume Tournament, and the Memorial Day Tournament. Ladies' Golf 101 introduces newer players to the game in a welcoming format. These aren't stuffy competitions—they're celebrations of the sport and the people who love it.
The Sunset Saloon sits at the end of the back nine with views of Watts Bar Lake. Cold drinks. Golf stories. The place where rounds end but friendships deepen. Managed by Troon Golf, one of the world's premier golf management companies, every detail is handled by people who understand: great golf communities aren't built on scores. They're built on people.
