About this course
Sweetens Cove in South Pittsburg, Tennessee, is a nine-hole course designed by Rob Collins and Tad King and opened in 2014. It replaced a flat, unremarkable municipal layout on the same piece of ground near the Tennessee River.
The design moves an enormous amount of dirt into ridges, punchbowls and Biarritz-style greens, with the greens averaging far larger than normal and set up to feed shots from wide of the target. Tee locations change from day to day, so the nine can play very differently on a second loop.
There is no formal clubhouse and the course is walking only. It is open to public play, with tee times limited by the size of the property.

Sewanee Golf Course
Sewanee, TN · 15 mi away
The Course at Sewanee is a nine-hole golf course on the campus of the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee, established in 1915. It was originally laid out by Bishop Albion W. Knight without formal design training, using mules and university football players for construction. In 2013, architects Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner renovated the course, preserving the original routing while rebuilding all nine green complexes, bunkers and tees. The course sits atop the Cumberland Plateau and serves as home to Sewanee's men's and women's golf teams while remaining open to public play.
The Keep at McLemore
Rising Fawn, GA · 26 mi away
The Keep is the second 18 at McLemore in Rising Fawn, Georgia, on the western brow of Lookout Mountain. Bill Bergin and Rees Jones designed it, and it opened for play in 2024 alongside the resort's original layout. The routing works along and back from the edge of the mountain, so several holes play toward long views out over McLemore Cove. Wide short-grass corridors, exposed brow-edge holes and a par 3 played from the rim give the course its character, and wind off the valley is a regular factor. The Keep is open to resort and public play, booked through McLemore.
