Community Reviews: [Golf Courses](/golf-reviews/) [Businesses](/reviews-new-to-me/) 6 Reviews Black Creek Club Emmett R. • Jul 13, 2026 Played Black Creek Club as a member invite and the Bill Coore/Ben Crenshaw-adjacent design philosophy really shows — minimal earth movement, natural-feeling green complexes, and a routing that uses Aetna Mountain's terrain beautifully. Best conditioning I've seen on a course in this region all year. **Memorable Hole:** Hole #11 — natural ridge fairway with a blind approach **Toughest Green:** Hole #17 — firm and fast, run-off areas collect anything long **Best Food:** Wood-fired flatbread on the clubhouse patio Windstone Golf Club Corinne A. • Jul 13, 2026 Played Windstone up in Ringgold, just across the state line but very much part of the Chattanooga golf scene — the mountain views from the elevated tees are the standout feature here. Layout has some real elevation drops that make club selection tricky. Fun change of pace from flatter courses in town. **Memorable Hole:** Hole #9 — dramatic downhill par 3 with mountain views behind the green **Toughest Green:** Hole #16 — small target green guarded by bunkers on both sides **Best Food:** Turkey sandwich at the halfway stand Brainerd Golf Course Jasmine O. • Jul 13, 2026 Played Brainerd on a weekday morning — Chattanooga's classic city muni and it was busy but still fun. Fairways were a little shaggy from recent rain but the greens held true. Great price point if you just want to get in a casual round without breaking the bank. **Memorable Hole:** Hole #6 — short par 4 that rewards an aggressive tee shot **Toughest Green:** Hole #12 — flat but fast after the morning roll **Best Food:** Hot dog and a Coke at the pro shop window Council Fire Golf Club Preston Y. • Jul 13, 2026 Played Council Fire as a member's guest and the parkland-style layout winds through mature hardwoods with the Tennessee River visible from a couple of holes. Greens were smooth and quick, and the clubhouse has an old-Chattanooga feel that a lot of newer clubs can't replicate. A relaxed, classic round. **Memorable Hole:** Hole #4 — dogleg left through a corridor of oaks **Toughest Green:** Hole #10 — subtly sloped, tougher than it looks from the fairway **Best Food:** Fried catfish plate in the grill room The Honors Course Vanessa T. • Jul 13, 2026 Got a rare guest round at The Honors Course in Ooltewah and the Pete Dye/Bobby Weed design lives up to the hype — pristine bentgrass fairways, no houses in sight, and bunkering that demands precision off every tee. Hosted a Walker Cup and it shows in how championship-ready the conditioning is year-round. A bucket-list round if you can get on. **Memorable Hole:** Hole #8 — long par 4 with a diagonal bunker line crossing the fairway **Toughest Green:** Hole #13 — deep and narrow, back-right pin is nearly unreachable **Best Food:** Chilled shrimp and iced tea in the clubhouse Bear Trace at Harrison Bay Douglas M. • Jul 13, 2026 Played the Nicklaus-designed Bear Trace at Harrison Bay on a cool June morning and the routing along Chickamauga Lake gives half the back nine real drama with water views. Conditioning was excellent for a state-run course and the price is a steal compared to what you'd pay for a Nicklaus design anywhere else. Best public golf value in the Chattanooga area. **Memorable Hole:** Hole #15 — par 3 playing along the lakeshore with wind off the water **Toughest Green:** Hole #18 — large and contoured, tough two-putt from the back tier **Best Food:** Pulled pork sandwich at the halfway house Share Your Round Played a Chattanooga-area course?
