Old style parkland right on the Tennessee River. Bermuda greens are usually speedy and course is a good test for being around 6,600 yards and a Par 71

A brilliant Dye with rolling zoysia fairways and tough greens, this is one of the hardest courses in the US. Holes 7, 9, and 14 are the highlights but the entire course is unique and fun.

A bit overrated after 2 loops through. Congestion backs groups up and the real variety is in the greens that make for some fun approaches, pitches, and putts

Lookout is a scruffy mountainside Raynor that with a little more time post their renovation by Kyle Franz and Tyler Rae, is going to be on everyone’s bucket list that doesn’t already have it. You get massive green complexes and the ability to feed balls into pins off huge slopes.

How we rank
This ranking uses each golfer’s conditions rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Conditions is the golfer’s overall conditions score, or the average of their greens, fairways, tee box, and bunker scores when no overall was given. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs conditions ratings from at least 5 different golfers. Ties go to the course with more golfers, then the higher Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Chattanooga, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
