Golfers have long enjoyed playing Whittle Springs, Knoxville’s first public golf course. The course has undergone many incarnations over its storied 75-plus year history, with Whittle Springs offering a fun and enjoyable golfing experience for everyone. Whether you are playing from the par-71, 4,781-yard front tees to the par-70, 5,729-yard back tees, the classic design has small bent grass greens that vary in undulation, and sloping Bermuda fairways.
