They started construction in 1971 on what was their family farm with the help of local golf course business owners and a “How To” book written by the USGA. Dead Horse Lake has been the host of the Men’s Knoxville Amateur tournament as well has many High School and Junior golf events. Over the past 20 years Dead Horse Lake Golf Course has made many improvements to its facilities by adding a Driving Range, Chipping area and Restaurant/Bar and continues to look for ways to improve each year.
