The Lambert Acres Golf Club is a 27-hole golf course in Maryville, Tennessee with views of the Great Smoky Mountains. The golf course contains 9,525 yards of rolling hills with slopes throughout the entire landscape.[tone] The course opened in 1965 and was designed by Ray Franklin.[1] The club currently[when?] has three different 9-hole courses which are named White, Orange, and Red.

The course has been the location for the Volunteers' team meets for over fifteen years mainly because of its proximity to campus.[citation needed] Over the past decade,[when?] the course has played host to the Tennessee Invitational nine times, the NCAA South Regional in 2002, 2006 and 2008, and hosted the 1998 SEC Championship meet.[4]
