Courses
Sweetens Cove Golf Club
If you know you know. The special feeling when you stand on the first tee of this hand-crafted masterpiece by King-Collins Golf Course Design. It's different here. For NewClub, Sweetens Cove in the Sequatchie Valley, Designed by Rob Collins is one of our most cherished places on the planet. It has received critical acclaim in The New York Times described as a modern masterpiece for its unique design and captivating atmosphere. Also named one of the best courses in the world by Golf Digest and Golf Magazine.
Black Creek Golf Club
Black Creek Golf Club is an 18-hole championship course, located less than an hour from Savannah. The course displays acres of rolling countryside, surrounded by nothing but lush meadows and hills.The golf course winds through scenic coastal marshes and wetlands, which come into play on 13 holes.
Lookout Mountain Club
The Lookout Mountain Club's golf course holds a cherished place as a community landmark. Designed by the renowned architect Seth Raynor in 1925, this championship course stands as a world-class gem, earning recognition from Golfweek magazine as one of America's top classical golf courses. The architecture fits the land with cascading dimensions filled up with spacious greens, staggered bunkers, and sloping landing areas.
The Course at Sewanee
The Course at Sewanee was renovated by Gil Hanse in 2013, Golf Magazine’s 2009 Architect of the Year.
While the original hole routing remains the same, Hanse has brought a fresh perspective to nearly every aspect of the golf course. He's reimagined, redesigned, and reconstructed everything from the nine green complexes to the introduction of challenging new bunkers and a unique set of alternate tees. Throughout this transformation, Hanse has maintained a deep respect for the fragile ecosystem on the Cumberland Plateau.
When you stand on the newly shaped tee of #5, aptly named "The Edge," it becomes evident why Gil Hanse was chosen to design the 2016 Olympic course in Rio de Janeiro.
