About the course

Sweetens Cove Golf Club, nestled in Tennessee’s peaceful Sequatchie Valley near Chattanooga, is a nine‑hole public “inland‑links” gem that has quickly become a cult favorite since its opening in 2014. Designed by King‑Collins (Rob Collins & Tad King), the course transforms a simple floodplain into a thrilling test of imagination and strategy - bold bunkers, massive undulating greens, double-pin setups, and firm fairways evoke classic architecture while offering endless shot‑making options.

Praised as one of America’s top modern 9‑hole layouts—with accolades from Golfweek, Golf Digest, and social‑media buzz dubbed it “golf’s first social‑media course”—Sweetens Cove keeps things fun, informal, and endlessly intriguing .

In short: if you crave bold design, creative play, and a relaxed, player‑driven experience, Sweetens Cove delivers a day on the course like no other.
