The best courses you can play in Tennessee

“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 cannot rank this as my #1 course all time as it’s only a 9 hole course but in my opinion this is the far better 9-hole course in Tennessee between Sewannee and Sweetens.”

“Golf at hermitage will certainly be a unique experience. The course is shared between golfers and free roaming sheep that graze in the high grass and lay in the shade. Shockingly I did not run into any sheep shit and the round was incredibly pleasant.”

“Played a college tournament here every year. Very fun. Not overly hard, not easy. Good shot value with a couple cool holes up in the hills.”

“Hermitage is one of the best public golf courses you can get in Tennessee. Just 30 minutes outside of national sits this hidden gem. Very reasonable price for the quality of the course.”

“Towhee Club doesn’t pretend to be anything it’s not - an unpretentious, fun vibe backed by genuine, southern-warm hospitality. Apparently this place was pretty beat up prior to its post-2020 overhaul, but the renovation injected life back into the property.”

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

“True links layout with a lot of water around. Greens were in good shape but rest of the course was quite dry. Steep price tag but cool track.”

“Played on the way home from the 2025 Masters. Such a unique track. Loved the variability in the layout. I feel like most “river” courses give you a hole or two on the water, but Island Pointe gives you more than you could ask for.”

“Beautiful, interesting course. Generally well maintained. Sections are quite challenging, but greens are not particularly difficult.”
