Ross Creek Landing Golf Course

4-star: Above average course - well worth a visit.

Est. 2001

Originally one of the five Bear Trace courses designed by Jack Nicklaus for Tennessee State Parks (see Did You Know section below), the layout at Ross Creek Landing benefits from a wonderfully natural setting. Roads and housing play no part in proceedings here, but an excellent golf course and many scenic views are much in evidence.

Generally recognised as one of Tennessee's top-quality golf courses, the layout roams its way across a wide expanse of pleasantly undulating open terrain, and occasional woodland. Throughout, the layout reflects the wonderful surrounding Tennessee countryside, with a distinctive change of scene coming as the course takes you over a small ridge after the par-4 10th.

Although there's a generally open feel here, you'll need to navigate your way past a plentiful array of hazards that Nicklaus has stylishly deployed. Small lakes and ponds, fairway-crossing wetland areas and abundant bunkering, all call for accurate driving and good approach work.

Occasionally, small rock features and even garden-like flower beds are included in Ross Creek Landing's attractive mix. There's even a small airstrip running alongside the par-5 8th hole, but it's unlikely this will cause you even a moment's distraction.

This big-dimension, roaming golf course, provides a wonderful, and at times tightish test for your all-round game with many excellent holes to enjoy.

Did you know?

The cemetery located behind the 13th tee dates from 1810 and contains the graves of some of the area's first European settlers.

Originally five Jack Nicklaus-designed golf courses made up The Bear Trace quintet, which is spread out from east to west in southern Tennessee. Still in operation as Bear Trace courses are those at Tims Ford, Cumberland Mountain and Harrison Bay. In western Tennessee, the former Bear Trace courses at Chickasaw and Ross Creek Landing are now operated independently of the Tennessee State Parks' "Bear Trace" golf collection.
