The course needs time to grow in. The layout is very goofy . But the views are incredible.

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 battle with this one a lot. This course could be really good but I don’t think the environment which the course was built is intended to sustain a golf course. Fairways/green were patchy. Restaurant was great though. Can’t recommend the turkey sandwich enough.

Best public golf course in the Chattanooga area, great value. No real “Wow” factor to it.
