Golf Courses in Tennessee
Tennessee's golf landscape encompasses 117 named courses and country clubs distributed across 110 cities and 49 counties, according to data drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System, the federal government's official gazetteer of named places. Each entry in this geographic record represents a real, named facility cataloged by its location.
The GNIS database provides an authoritative geographic snapshot, though it reflects the limitations inherent in a federal system designed to catalog named geographic features rather than track active business operations. As a result, newly established courses or recently renamed facilities may not yet appear in the listings, and operational details such as public or private access, current fee structures, and course layout specifications fall outside the scope of the federal record. Those seeking to visit a specific course should use this geographic directory as a starting point for locating and identifying facilities by city and county, then consult the course's own website or contact information to confirm current hours of operation, rates, and booking availability.
How to use the Tennessee directory
Start by narrowing to where you want to play — by city, or more reliably by county — then open a course for its locality detail. Every listing is a real, named facility from the federal gazetteer; for tee times, green fees and public-or-private status, check the course’s own site, since those aren’t in the GNIS record.
Directory note. Listings come from the USGS GNIS named-feature gazetteer (2021 vintage) and are partial — public/private status, green fees and course layout aren't in the federal record. Confirm details on each course’s own site.
