Municipal golf in the South is a statement of democratic access in a region where private clubs dominate the conversation
Municipal golf in the South is a statement of democratic access in a region where private clubs dominate the conversation. Four tee sets stretch from 6,669 yards up to 6,669, with slopes running between 116 and 126. That consistency means the course plays honest from any set of markers. A 71.8 course rating from the middle tees tells you the layout has teeth without being punishing. Four par-5s provide length, and the 6,669-yard eighth carries the number one handicap for good reason. Walking-only policy in the Southeast is an anomaly worth supporting. Summer mornings in Tennessee are the window for comfortable walking golf. Green fees in the $8-$20 range make this a walk you can afford to take twice in a weekend.
