About this course
Honky Tonk National Golf Club is an 18-hole resort course with a par of 72 located in Sparta, Tennessee. The course was designed by PGA professional Peter Jacobsen and architect Jim Hardy and opened in 2012, previously operating under the name Riverwatch. It is situated on a plateau overlooking Center Hill Lake in the Middle Tennessee region.
The layout at Honky Tonk National stretches to 6,900 yards and transforms the natural terrain into a series of challenging holes. Players encounter rolling hillsides and picturesque views of the lake while navigating fairways that move across the high ground. The design incorporates meaningful elevation changes and strategic bunkers to test ability levels from the novice to the veteran. The facility also includes on-site lodging and a restaurant for visitors.
