Caddie's Summary:
. Council Fire is a beautifully sculpted Bob Cupp design with the backdrop of the Tennessee mountains. Large, etched out bunkers, large undulating greens and tight heavy rough make it a test for any golfer and the natural beauty can rival any course around. The photos of the course speak for themselves, but members know that this course can reach up and grab you with penalties or very difficult bunker shots. Fairway bunkers often require a high loft iron to exit. Greens roll exceptionally and have twists and turns that require deep thought on the putting surface. Conditioning is as good as it gets and the entire course stays trimmed and in tournament condition.
