South Pittsburg, Tennessee
Sweetens Cove Golf Club is a municipal-in-name-only public layout in South Pittsburg, Tennessee. It is best from spring through fall.
Tee times are open to the public, though the good ones go fast. Green fees run ~$75 (9 holes). The property offers lodging close by, which shapes how we build the days around it.
Sweetens Cove is nine holes, public, and has built a cult following among serious golfers despite being nowhere near a major city. No. 79 on our list, and a genuinely fun detour on a Southeast buddies' trip.
Spring through fall plays best in Tennessee. Lodging sits nearby, and it pairs well with a longer regional trip rather than standing alone.
