Lost Creek is a very unusual and challenging course. The back 9 holes are built inside the perimeter of the front 9 holes. Built on hilly terrain in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains, all the holes are bordered by beautiful, mature trees, and ponds affect play on two of the holes. The greens are medium-sized and slightly elevated, and the majority of the fairways are wide. However, hole 16 will challenge anyone's skill. This 532 yard, par 5 winds up a very narrow fairway to a small, elevated green.
