Golf in John Sevier

John Sevier is a small Knox County community along the Holston River corridor southeast of Knoxville, named for Tennessee's first governor — a fitting tribute in a county that bears his legacy at multiple locations. The area sits between the Holston River and the ridgelines of East Knox County in the Ridge and Valley terrain that defines southeastern Knox County. Development in this corridor has been less intense than in western and northern Knox County, and the landscape retains more of the agricultural and woodland character of the original river valley. Golf in this corner of Knox County serves a community that is part of the broader Knoxville metro while maintaining a distinctly less-urban character than the city's other suburban quadrants.
