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

I cannot rank this as my #1 course all time as it’s only a 9 hole course but in my opinion this is the far better 9-hole course in Tennessee between Sewannee and Sweetens.

True links layout with a lot of water around. Greens were in good shape but rest of the course was quite dry. Steep price tag but cool track.

Towhee Club doesn’t pretend to be anything it’s not - an unpretentious, fun vibe backed by genuine, southern-warm hospitality. Apparently this place was pretty beat up prior to its post-2020 overhaul, but the renovation injected life back into the property.

How we rank
This ranking uses each golfer’s value rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Value is how worth the price a golfer felt the round was. Only public and guest-friendly courses are ranked, since private clubs rarely have value ratings. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs value 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. State pages include courses across Tennessee. Rankings refresh about hourly.
