aside from being a public golf course the lambert acres golf course is currently used by the cross country teams at the university of tennessee. the course has been the location for the volunteers' team meets for over fifteen years mainly because of its natural beauty and close distance from campus. over the past ten years the course has played host to the tennessee invitational nine times, the ncaa south regional in 2002, 2006 and 2008, and hosted the 1998 sec championship meet.
