About this course

Chattanooga Golf and Country Club, resting along the Tennessee River, is a portrait of Southern golf heritage, established well before the Roaring Twenties. Its gently rolling parkland layout, a walkable design easily favoring precise iron play into subtly contoured greens, belies its vintage. Original architect Donald Ross blessed this land in 1919, and the course has seen careful stewardship over the decades with Rees Jones implementing a strategic restoration in the early 2000's, respecting the ground’s Golden Age character while subtly modernizing its defenses for the contemporary game. While Chattanooga Golf and Country Club may not clamor for national headlines, it holds a distinctive place in the region’s golfing landscape. The membership is noted for its deep roots in the city’s civic and business leadership. Stories abound of deals brokered on the fairways, and generations have learned the game within its manicured confines. Beyond the course, the club maintains a reputation as a social center. A particular highlight is the club's revered 'Riverview Burger,' a simple yet cherished culinary staple amongst members, as much a part of the Chattanooga Golf and Country Club experience as the 18th green.

Getting there

Chattanooga Golf & Country Club is reached most conveniently via Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport, a compact regional hub situated just minutes from the club's gates on the city's eastern flank. For those traveling from major hubs, connections through Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson typically offer the smoothest routing, while private arrivals often favor Lovell Field's discreet FBO services. The drive from downtown Chattanooga traces a gentle climb eastward along tree-canopied boulevards that rise toward Missionary Ridge, where the club's storied grounds unfold across elevated terrain overlooking the Tennessee River Valley - a quiet enclave above the hum of the city below.
