Caddie's Summary:
. One of the most unique courses around. Brian Silva (architect) designed an excellent track with a signature "square" look and feel. Bunkers, greens and tees are squared off, providing a very interesting design. The course is in fantastic condition and the backdrops of the Tennessee mountain ranges are breathtaking. Challenging from tee to green, it is the venue for the Nationwide Tour's Chattanooga Classic. The deep fairway bunkers are always in play and are a difficult escape with long irons due to the steep banks. Steep drop offs around greens, water hazards, heavy rough and elevated tees are the normal obstacles and add to the journey. Amenities include a range, grille and a well-stocked pro shop.
