Uneven tee boxes, trash everywhere and a rude staff.

Lambert Acres is a true gem. The greens are always phenomenal, the course is challenging and the staff is friendly. Beer is reasonably priced considering it is course beer and the food is plenty to get you through a round.

The improvement this course has seen over the last few years is truly remarkable. I would consider this my home course despite the drive from Knoxville. As I said, the greens are absolutely incredible and play fast. The Smoky Mountains are on full display on Red, White and Orange. The beauty of the mountains creates a perfect atmosphere for a round of golf. If you are just getting into golf, this is a great place to start. If you are a low handicapper, you are still going to find shots that challenge your game.

Additional comments/areas to improve: Since Pine Lakes closed, a lot of their volume has shifted to Lambert. This isn’t a bad thing, but don’t expect to show up and breeze through a round at “prime time.” Even with 27 holes, it can get jammed. That’s what happens when a course is as good as Lambert! An area I would like to see improvement is with the carts and the cart paths. The paths could use a good smoothing over in many places and many of the carts are getting worn out.

All in all, Lambert Acres is a 5* experience that doesn’t break the bank.
