Baneberry Golf and Resort in Tennessee
Baneberry Golf and Resort was built back in the 70s and has been through several changes of ownership.
The Kammann brothers took it over in the mid-80s, and conditions have steadily improved to the point where it is now one of the more popular golf courses in the area.
The course itself is located on a peninsula that extends out in the Lake Douglas portion of the French Broad River, though there are no spectacular water views. It is well-treed, though, with white pines and Norwegian firs, and even some weeping willows, lining most of the fairways.
Deer and turkey are commonly sighted. In fact, golfers are sometimes held up by a family of grazing deer that lives in the neighborhood. The golf course has very good elevation in spots, while other holes are relatively flat. Most of the tee boxes have a variety of flowers, a nice touch.
Baneberry is definitely a resort golf course, not overly taxing, though its version of "Amen Corner," Nos. 11, 12 and 13, will make even the best golfers focus.
