Thinking About Living in The Club at Gettysvue?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands The Club at Gettysvue and the surrounding Knoxville golf market.
The Club at Gettysvue sits at the center of a 300-acre, roughly 280-lot planned golf community in west Knoxville, built in 1995 on the site of the historic Gettysvue Farm; the clubhouse itself was built to incorporate the farm's original stables and home site into an English-manor-style building. It carries genuine equestrian and polo heritage — it has operated under the name "Gettysvue Polo, Golf and Country Club" and has offered summer polo memberships — alongside an 18-hole, par-72 Bland Pittman golf course. In November 2024, Heritage Golf Group, a national multi-property private-club operator, acquired Gettysvue as its 38th property and its first in Tennessee.
Gettysvue is confirmed as a genuine gated community (listed explicitly among East Tennessee gated communities by at least one regional real-estate source), distinguishing it from Fox Den, whose entrance is marked but not gated. Membership in the club is optional and is purchased separately from home purchase; it is not bundled into HOA dues or included automatically with property ownership.
Golf & Course
Bland Pittman designed the 18-hole, par-72, roughly 6,530-6,540-yard course in 1995, working the layout around rock outcroppings, hardwoods, lakes, and streams at the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, with meaningful elevation change for a Knoxville-area course.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Access is through a standard optional, non-equity private membership — members pay separately from homeownership, and the club is owned/operated by Heritage Golf Group rather than by the members themselves. Two secondary sources disagree on the exact initiation fee ($2,501-$10,000 range vs. a flat $10,000) and annual dues ($0-$5,000 range vs. a flat $4,500/year plus a $100/month food-and-beverage minimum); neither figure is club-published, so buyers should treat any number here as directional only.
Living in The Club at Gettysvue
The Gettysvue community is a genuine gated, planned golf neighborhood on roughly 300 acres with about 280 developed lots, ranging from stone-and-masonry homes in the mid-$400,000s up to large estate homes approaching $2.5 million. It carries a documented equestrian history predating the golf community (Gettysvue Farm), which the clubhouse design still reflects.
Lifestyle & Amenities
Amenities include a junior Olympic-size pool, five tennis courts, three pickleball courts, and a 24-hour fitness center, alongside the golf course and clubhouse.
Location & Surrounding Area
Gettysvue is located in west Knoxville near Fox Den in the broader Farragut/west Knoxville golf corridor, at the foothills of the Great Smoky and Cumberland Mountains.
Costs & Fees
Figures below are labeled Current only when the source itself frames them as presently accurate. Everything else is labeled Historical — a source checked today does not make an old fee a current one.
Initiation (range low)
Historical — as of 2026-09-22$2,501
Aggregator-reported low end of range; see annual_dues/initiation_fee notes on the conflict with other secondary sources.
Initiation (range high)
Historical — as of 2026-09-22$10,000
Matches the flat $10,000 figure reported by a second secondary source for golf membership, giving moderate (not high) confidence this is close to the real top-tier figure.
