Crockett Ridge Golf Club
About this course
Crockett Ridge Golf Club sits in the rolling terrain of northeast Tennessee near Kingsport, a city positioned in the state's Appalachian highlands close to the Virginia border. The course was designed by Ed Ault and Tom Clark, both architects known for their work across the mid-Atlantic and southeastern United States during the latter decades of the twentieth century. Ault in particular built a substantial portfolio of daily-fee and municipal courses throughout the region, often working with natural land movement to create strategic interest without excessive earthmoving. The routing at Crockett Ridge takes advantage of the area's characteristic topography, with elevation changes and wooded corridors typical of courses built in this part of Tennessee. The design likely incorporates doglegs and approach shots that require attention to club selection given the terrain, and the property's tree-lined fairways frame holes while defining playing corridors. Water features and bunker placement provide hazards that reward accurate shot-making. Crockett Ridge operates as a public-access facility, serving both local golfers and visitors to the Tri-Cities region of Tennessee and Virginia. The course fits within the tradition of accessible mountain-foothill golf in the southern Appalachians, where natural land character shapes the playing experience. The club provides a straightforward golf experience reflective of its regional setting and the practical design approach of its architects.
