Hidden Falls at Mt. Airy Golf Course

Hidden Falls at Mt. Airy Golf Course occupies terrain in the Sequatchie Valley region of southeastern Tennessee, near Dunlap in the Cumberland Plateau foothills. Dennis Mills designed the course to work with the natural topography characteristic of this area—rolling elevation changes, hardwood corridors, and water features that include the namesake falls. The layout takes advantage of the site's natural movement, with holes routed through wooded sections and across more open valley floor. The course serves the local golfing community in this part of Tennessee, situated between Chattanooga to the southwest and the more mountainous terrain to the east. Mills, who has designed several courses across Tennessee and the Southeast, typically emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating the existing landscape features rather than imposing dramatic earthwork. At Hidden Falls, this approach means golfers encounter variety in hole character—some holes play through tighter tree-lined corridors while others open up with longer views across the valley. The facility operates as a public-access course, making it a regional option for golfers in the Sequatchie Valley and surrounding counties. The setting provides a relatively quiet, natural golf experience away from more developed areas, with the course maintaining a straightforward character suited to regular play rather than tournament competition or resort golf.
