Caddie's Summary:
. Beautifully nestled into the Tennessee pines and woods, Chickasaw is a great golf escape. If your hitting your driver well, you can score here, but the woods are very tight to the fairways and the bunkers are ideally placed for grabbing tee shots. Rolling fairways can play short if its dry and that can mean as much trouble as assistance, as the inclines and slants often run directly into the trees or heavy rough. The holes are well scattered and all offer seclusion from any signs of the modern world. As always, the Bear Trace staff is a treat and sure to assist with anything from your swing to club requirements.
