Purchasing a second home for vacation and eventual retirement is fast becoming a smart thing to do in Tennessee. And with its low property taxes and no state income tax, the state has become a top choice for retirees. Thus, you’ll find Tennessee National, one of East Tennessee’s premier gated waterfront golf communities, on most visitors’ short list of potential locations in which to invest.
Watts Bar Lake
Nestled in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains near Knoxville, Tennessee National offers a range of homesites and styles and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the 39,000-acre Watts Bar Lake.
Here you have plenty of access from the 3.5 miles of lake shoreline that Tennessee National commands to boating, fishing, water skiing and sailing. You’ll keep your water activities humming with a marina with gas, boat slips and a pavilion. Send me more information about Tennessee National!

Golf by Greg Norman
Residents are fiercely proud of their Greg Norman Signature Golf Course. A private, 18-hole, 7,400-yard layout, the course meanders through the natural Tennessee landscape and along the banks of the waterfront.
Gorgeous views of Watts Bar Lake punctuate five holes that play to or from the water. Add in 13 lakes and stacked sod bunkers reminiscent of Scottish golf club architecture, and you have a memorable layout distinct from many in the southeastern United States.
There are also miles of hiking and biking trails throughout the property. And Tennessee National’s central location—within a half day’s drive of 75 percent of the US population—makes it easy to stay connected. The weather features four mild but distinct seasons. Homesites range from $40,000 to the $300,000s and homes from $349,900 to $800,000. Send me more information about Tennessee National!
New Membership Terms: No Initiation Fee!
A full array of first-class member benefits is now available at Tennessee National for new signees who can make a four-year commitment to being part of the club. Only a small, $150 processing fee applies, and for monthly dues at a modest $395 you get access to the practice facilities including complimentary practice balls, access to member golf tournaments, Troon Privé Privilege and Troon Advantage Programs, plus access to Wellness and Marina Center (upon completion).
Tennessee National, TN: Several membership options.
If you can only make a two-year commitment, you get slightly different benefits and pay $300 a month in dues, along with the one-time $150 processing fee.
