Louis Hopkins
Assistant Superintendent

- 30 yrs. experience
- 30 yrs. at EGC

Mr. Hopkins has spent a whopping 29 years here at EGC. This level of experience affords Louis a truly unique knowledge of this golf course and the subtle nuances that make EGC a great place to play golf.

Since our redesign in 1993, Louis has become an indispensable member of our staff. As the EGC1s chief greenskeeper and assistant superintendent, Louis has an intimate knowledge of the golf course as well as the amount of maintenance needed to keep the course in prime condition.

In addition to the mowing and green maintenance that Louis conducts, he oversees the pin placements and tee locations each and every day.

His primary task is the proper irrigation of the playing surfaces and the maintenance and upkeep of the irrigation system. Louis specializes in keeping the tough greens here at EGC very playable.

The challenging putting surfaces here at EGC present quite a problem to any groundskeeper. If the speed and maintenance of our greens were not handled properly they could become extremely difficult. Louis does a superb job of our putting surfaces and is a big part of what makes EGC the most pristine course in East Tennessee.

Louis is also the proud father of an accomplished golfer. His son Travis Hopkins is attending Walters State Community College on a golf scholarship.
