The Bear Trace is situated on a peninsula surrounded by picturesque Tims Ford Lake. This visually compelling golf course has been recognized nationally as a “glittering newcomer…an intriguing 6,763-yard layout (Bear tees) with several different looks.” The course features five sets of tees, 419 Bermuda fairways, and TifEagle Bermuda greens. The opening holes are a blend of links-style creations that gently roll across former pastureland, then gradually transition to wooded sites dominated by giant oak trees. Tims Ford reservoir is visible and comes into play on several of the 18 holes, creating an excellent balance of challenge and playability, typical of Jack Nicklaus Signature courses. The course is approximately an hour drive from Chattanooga and Huntsville, Alabama.
On-Site Amenities: driving range, practice green, on-site lodging, snack bar, and club rental. Lessons are available.
