DeVictor and opened for play in the spring of 1984. The layout moves through rolling hills with running streams and wooded stretches, giving it a varied character across its 18 holes.

The City of Knoxville owns the course, which is operated under contract by Purple Horse Hospitality alongside Whittle Springs Golf Course.
