Concord Park Par 3
Concord Park Par 3 offers a highly approachable 9-hole par-3 layout focused on skill development and relaxed play. Situated in Knoxville’s recreational area, this public course welcomes beginners and families with its short holes, gentle greens, and community-friendly atmosphere.
Course Overview
Concord Park Par 3 in Knoxville, Tennessee, delivers a uniquely accessible golf experience designed to welcome beginners, families, and players seeking a brisk yet rewarding round. This public 9-hole par-3 course stretches just under 1,000 yards, offering short, manageable holes that emphasize approach shots, accuracy, and course navigation rather than power. The layout plays across gently rolling terrain framed by mature trees, creating a natural rhythm that encourages players to focus on shot-making and pace.
Unlike courses that demand high-precision putting, the greens at Concord Park Par 3 are intentionally slower and a bit textured, making them more forgiving for those still refining their skills. This modest green speed reduces intimidation while allowing newcomers to build confidence with putting and short game techniques. The overall design supports a relaxed pace of play, and the course’s compact size means rounds generally take less than two hours.
Located within a broader recreational setting, the course shares space with amenities such as a dog park and walking paths, making it a family-friendly destination where golf and outdoor activity blend seamlessly. Equipment rentals and push carts are readily available at very reasonable prices, lowering barriers to entry for players coming without clubs or those testing the game for the first time.
The atmosphere is welcoming and community-focused, with staff known for their friendliness and helpfulness. Concord Park Par 3 also offers programs encouraging youth participation, including free golf opportunities for kids, fostering a supportive environment for beginner golfers. Players planning a visit will want to prepare for walking the relatively flat, open course and bring comfortable footwear suitable for some uneven turf.
While this course does not cater to low-handicap golfers seeking long drives and complex strategy, it excels as an approachable golfing introduction and a place where families and beginners can enjoy the challenge of golf in a relaxed outdoor setting. Concord Park Par 3 is a practical choice for Knoxville residents or visitors looking to sharpen short game skills on a course designed with accessibility and enjoyment in mind.
Course Highlights
A concise par-3 layout prioritizes approach shots and short-game practice. The course’s slower, slightly textured greens are intentionally designed to suit beginners and youth players. Shared park facilities provide a family-friendly environment, and equipment rentals are affordably available.

We are new to golf so we played slowly, but people behind us stepped on our throat! I felt rushed, and my experience did not feel enjoyable. Besides, my white sneakers were ruined in the dirt it was HORRIBLE! I also felt i was almost going to pass out. I don't think I will go there ever again.

This is a great course for people learning to play golf! it also works well if you just want to do a quick nine holes and not ever have to take a wood out of your bag. My son is learning to play golf, and there's a great program for kids to golf for free. So the two of us play nine holes for $8 total, every time! The greens are not manicured. But that makes sense for a course where people are just learning how to play golf. Imagine beginning golfers negotiating super slick undulating greens! It really is the right thing to do to have these greens be a little slow and a little lumpy and a little fuzzy. They're not terrible! But they're not like the standard Golf course greens. Every time I interact with a staff member, they are extraordinarily nice and friendly. All of them! This course rents clubs, push carts, and just about anything else you need to play a round of golf. And the prices are amazingly low!
