Tommy Schumpert

Tommy Schumpert DGC is likely the most wooded and technical course in the entire Knoxville area. There are definitely several crusher holes where you can really open up and care less about lines, but for the most part, you better make sure you are ready to hit your lines when you go out to this course.

Tommy Schumpert DGC is likely the most wooded and technical course in the entire Knoxville area. There are definitely several crusher holes where you can really open up and care less about lines, but for the most part, you better make sure you are ready to hit your lines when you go out to this course. A couple bad kicks on some of these fairways can make for a really high score as I have noticed on more than one occasion. This is of course, not the courses fault, as much as it is my own fault for missing my lines. The first time I played this course was years and years ago when only the front 9 had baskets and the back 9 had tone poles. I enjoyed the course then and still enjoy the course now. This course has come a long way since I first played it. The course now has two sets of tee pads per hole AND 2 baskets per hole. This means you could play this course 4 days in a row and play a different layout each day so if you are looking for variety, this is the course for you! Sort Tees to Short Baskets offers a great short layout for beginners and less experienced players while Long Tees to Long Baskets offers a definite professional level layout. Furthermore, if you really want to mix it up at this course, you could always flip a disc twice per hole to decide long/short tee and basket which honestly would give you a never ending supply of different layouts to play. As for the course design itself, this course also features a great selection of left/right holes, uphill/downhill holes, and short/long holes so you definitely have to be ready for diversity on this course. Overall, would I say this is an enjoyable course? For sure! Get out to Tommy Schumpert DGC and play a couple of the layouts. I promise you will never get bored with this course! If you want to see this course on video (Long Tees to Short Baskets) check out the videos below where a couple buddies and I filmed a round there. Of course, we will eventually film all 4 of the layouts here so definitely make sure you check out this Tommy Schumpert DGC playlist as well!
