THE NTB TAKE
Why burn
the extra gas?
Green Meadow is only about 86 miles out, and the argument for passing the normal radius is current tournament golf without the enormous back-tee number. Around 6,500 yards sounds manageable; a 138 slope and reports of fast greens say otherwise. Your 150-yard club may get more work than driver, but the putter can still ruin the ride home. For a private invitation, the drive is reasonable and the current golfer signal is strong. Just check the tournament calendar so the boys don't arrive during a closure or immediately after the course has been set up to embarrass professionals.
OFFICIAL / HIGH-CONFIDENCE FACTS
- Green Meadow is a private 18-hole club in Alcoa and the only private country club in Blount County according to the club.
- The club began as nine holes in 1925; the back nine was built in the 1950s and the front nine greens were rebuilt in the early 1990s.
- The official scorecard page supports an 18-hole, par-72 course. 18Birdies lists 6,525 yards at 71.5/138; Golf.com lists 6,534 at 71.5/130. Confirm slope and exact back yardage from the current official card image.
- The club hosts the current Smoky Mountain Championship, giving it a strong active tournament signal.
- Official amenities include golf, full-service lounge/dining, tennis and swimming.
CURRENT GOLFER SIGNAL
- 18Birdies shows 4.6/5 from 87 reviews. Recent written signal describes fast greens and demanding rough, with strong course-condition scores.
- That is useful current golfer evidence, but tournament preparation can change normal availability and course setup.
