HOLE 1 - PAR 4

Neyland Stadium

Bruce McCarty is the architect of Neyland Stadium. This sports stadium in Knoxville is the home of the Tennessee Volunteers football team and currently has an official capacity of 101,915. It was constructed in 1921 as Shields–Watkins Field and has since undergone 16 expansion projects. These changes allowed the venue to reach a capacity of 104,079 at one point. Today, it stands as the third largest stadium in the Southeastern Conference. I have spent a lot of time flying over the city, and the sheer scale of this place is always impressive from the air. It is a massive landmark that defines a huge portion of the local area for any visitor coming to see a game.

The institution continues to grow its ranks, having added eight new members with the 2026 Induction.
