Crossville - TN Golf Capital

If you enjoy golfing, consider driving to Crossville, the Golf Capital of Tennessee. Crossville has many championship courses, and people play more than half a million rounds there each year.

Heatherhurst Golf Club The Brae

Heatherhurst Brae Course was named in the top 5 courses you can play in Tennessee by Golfweek Magazine!

On the Brae course, the front 9 provides the most challenge including a double

dogleg fairway with two forced carries over Otter Creek on the 4th hole, said to be one of the toughest par 5’s in Tennessee. The back 9 offers three par 3’s, three par 4’s and three par 5’s with undulating fairways and encroaching bunkers. Number 10 is a par 5 that moves downhill to a green overlooking Lake Dartmoor. The Brae is the only course in the area with Zoysia grass fairways.

Heatherhurst Golf Club The Crag

The Crag course is player-friendly with tee locations ranging from the most forward Green tees at 3,600 yards to the Blue tees at 6,200. Bentgrass tees and greens, wide fairways—great for short hitters—and strategically placed bunkers add to the fun. The 17th is the Crag’s signature hole. The teeing areas sit on an overlook that will have you pausing to take in the view. Although the 17th is a short hole, driving accuracy is important. A favorite among our furry and feathered friends, don’t be surprised to see deer, turkey, squirrels or other passersby on the Crag course.

The Bear Trace at Cumberland Mountain State Park

In 1999, the Bear Trace at Cumberland Mountain State Park was named “One of the Top Ten You Can Play in North America” by Golf Magazine. In 2001, Golf Digest named it “One of the Top Ten Courses in Tennessee”

and the course has been named by Golfweek Magazine as the #1 Public Course in Tennessee for 2012 and for 2013. Today, The Bear Trace at Cumberland Mountain is one of the most sought-after sites among the Jack Nicklausdesigned Bear Trace courses in Tennessee. The

6,900-yard (gold tees), par 72 layout features a design that capitalizes on elevation changes as well as natural features such as flowing brooks and clustered, mature pines. As is typical in Jack Nicklaus Signature courses, there are many risk/ reward opportunities for all levels of golfers.

Dorchester Golf Club

With its secluded, scenic views, Dorchester Golf Club is a favorite among Fairfield Glade residents and guests. By today’s standards it’s not long, but the Bentgrass greens, narrow tree-lined fairways, strategically placed bunkers and water on 8 of the 18 holes, make it a challenge for even skilled golfers. You may want to talk mulligans before you even tee up your first ball.

Dorchester has a mean starting hole, with water coming into play off the men’s tee box and again approaching the green. A creek running through the back nine comes into play on three holes you’ll be talking about for a while. Along with Stonehenge, Dorchester co-hosted the Tennessee State Open for several years during the eighties and nineties.

Druid Hills Golf Club

On a clear day, you can see forever. Druid Hills is perched at the highest point on the northeast side of the county. Its up and down pitch creates dramatic mountain views that extend for miles. The course has rolling treelined fairways, plenty of water and undulating Bentgrass greens. The second shortest of our five courses, Druid Hills is also the second most difficult. What’s on the menu? Side hill lies, elevated approaches and greens that are difficult to read. It is a position/placement course with several doglegs, so ball placement off the tee (not always with a driver) is essential. Also, Druid Hills is surrounded by homes/out of bounds. “Hello neighbor.”

Stonehenge Golf Course

Stonehenge Golf Club ranks as one of Tennessee’s top courses. It is host to four statewide championships throughout the year, the Senior Open, Women’s Open, Father/Son Championship and the Tennessee Cup Team Matches. Architect Joe Lee took the rolling, wooded Cumberland Plateau and created a beautiful mountain layout with Bentgrass greens, tees and fairways. Now the fun begins! Natural rock outcroppings come into play on several holes, and a stone retaining wall runs along the left and rear of the signature 14th hole, a downhill par 3. Mixed in are 65 bunkers just to make it interesting. After golf, Stonehenge Grille is the perfect place to cap off a memorable day on the course.

Lake Tansi Golf Course

The Lake Tansi Resort Golf Course is one of the top-rated courses in the state, host to the TN Section PGA Team Championship and the Johnny Majors Invitational.

Lake Tansi golf course is a past winner of the Crossville Chronicle People’s Choice Award as the “Best Golf Course in Cumberland County.”

The course puts a premium on accuracy off the tee. With lush green grass to play on all year long, the rolling fairways and undulating greens provide a true test of golf for the average handicapper from the forward tees as well as the low handicapper from the back tees.
