Tennessee's golf epicenter is Nashville — Troubadour, Richland, The Grove, Belle Meade, and Hillwood all call the area home. The Honors Course in Ooltewah stands alone as the state's crown jewel, a Pete Dye masterpiece ranked among America's 100 Greatest for decades.
Tennessee's top 15 stretches from the Memphis suburbs to the Chattanooga hills, with Nashville emerging as the state's golf epicenter — Troubadour, Richland, The Grove, Belle Meade, and Hillwood all call the area home. The Honors Course in Ooltewah stands alone as the state's crown jewel, a Pete Dye masterpiece that has ranked among America's 100 Greatest for decades. The trail is almost entirely private, with TPC Southwind the lone tour-quality public-access stop.
