Dixie Oaks Golf Club is a private course located in Summertown, Tennessee, in the rolling terrain of Maury County. The course was designed by Dick Gross, a respected architect known for work across the Southeast and Midwest during the latter half of the twentieth century. Gross's design philosophy typically emphasized strategic bunkering, thoughtful routing through natural topography, and playability across a range of skill levels—principles evident in courses he created throughout his career. The layout takes advantage of the gently undulating landscape characteristic of Middle Tennessee, with routing that moves through wooded areas and open fairways. Like many Gross designs, Dixie Oaks features well-defined landing areas and green complexes that reward accuracy without demanding excessive length. The course presents a mix of hole types and lengths, typical of regional private clubs built to serve their membership over decades of play. As a private club, Dixie Oaks maintains a membership-focused culture and serves the Summertown community and surrounding areas. The course remains a fixture of recreational golf in Maury County, offering members a consistent test of shot-making and course management. While not widely known beyond its region, Dixie Oaks represents the solid, understated tradition of American club golf design that has sustained private courses throughout Tennessee and the mid-South for generations.
