Egwani Farms is a family-run golf course which opened in 1991. It was the dream of Ernest Koella, Jr. to provide the Knoxville area with a top-notch public golf facility. He wanted not only the best maintained course, but also the best total golf experience. To him, that meant friendly service, a round of 4 hours and an ice cold beer. Today, carrying on his dream is his daughter Lisa, who grew up on the Egwani property when it was still a farm.

The name "Egwani" is Cherokee for "little river." The Little River borders Egwani for 1.5 miles. This river bottom was once a summer fishing village for the Cherokee.

Eric Rebmann, a PGA Teaching Professional, has been a vital member of the Egwani family since 1992. This year, Eric was named "Tennessee PGA Teacher of the Year." Eric was a David Leadbetter teaching associate, a Runner-Up to Billy Mayfair in the U.S. Amateur and a participant in the 1988 Masters.

Donald LeQuire is another key member of the Egwani family. Donnie has been our Greens Superintendent since 1998. He and his crew do an excellent job of keeping the course green and in excellent condition year-round.

William H. Roy III, otherwise known as Trey, joined the Egwani Family in July of 2006 as our Clubhouse Manager and Assistant Pro. He oversees our friendly staff.
