Golf in Jefferson City

Jefferson City is the seat of Jefferson County, a small city in the upper Tennessee Valley between Morristown and Douglas Lake. Carson-Newman University, a Baptist liberal arts institution with a history extending back to the 1850s, anchors Jefferson City's educational and cultural identity and gives the town a college-town character uncommon for a county seat of its size in rural East Tennessee. The surrounding Jefferson County landscape includes both the Douglas Lake shoreline and the Appalachian foothills that rise toward the Smokies, creating a geography that is both scenic and productive — the county's agricultural history is visible in the farms and orchards that persist through the valley. Golf in Jefferson City serves a small city with a broad rural county, in a setting that balances the Smokies-adjacent landscape with the everyday character of an East Tennessee working community.
