Located in the scenic South Pittsburg of Tennessee, just a breezy drive from Chattanooga, Sweetens Cove is set to enhance its already reputable golf experience. In collaboration with Reef Capital Partners, this top public-access golf course, famed for its lush landscapes and golfer-friendly amenities, is introducing a portfolio of new features.
Enhancements at Sweetens Cove
We’re excited to share that our offerings will soon include an innovative par-3 course designed to challenge and delight golfers of all skill levels. Accompanying this will be cozy, comfortable stay-and-play cabins perfect for longer visits, a sprawling winding putting green, and numerous amenities aimed to transform every visit into an unforgettable experience.
Recreational and Dining Expansion
Alongside our golf enhancements, guests can look forward to a new fishing dock for serene afternoons and a skeet range that offers a slice of adventure. For culinary delights, a new restaurant will cater to diverse palates, supplemented by a distillery, enriching the social and dining scene.
Restoring and Innovating Post-2024 Winter
Following a challenging winter in 2024, we made the difficult decision to close temporarily to undertake significant renovations to our greens and fairways. These renovations were essential to uphold our commitment to providing top-tier playing surfaces. This fall, we were thrilled to reopen, showcasing lush, rejuvenated grass that promises to restore the fiery and dynamic playing conditions by 2025 that our golfers love.
New Developments Galore
The masterplan for expansion doesn’t just stop at physical amenities. It reaches into enhancing our community and golfer experience as well. By shifting from traditional tee times to offering all-day passes, we provide a flexible golfing schedule, accommodating our guests’ varying preferences. The relaxed dress code and vibrant music from our patio overseeing the first tee and ninth green are part of what makes visiting Sweetens Cove an exclusive, joy-filled experience.
A Commitment to Our Unique Appeal
Preserving the unique charm of Sweetens Cove while expanding is a top priority for us. Soon, guests will enjoy ‘Sweetens at Night,’ an evening golf experience, along with enhanced food and drink options to ensure every visit is memorable. We cherish the simplicity and camaraderie found here and strive to maintain these qualities as we evolve.

Since its opening in 2015 on the grounds of a former golf course, redesigned masterfully by Tad King and Rob Collins, Sweetens Cove has quickly ascended as a beloved site by golf enthusiasts, ranked No. 90 among the top 100 modern courses in the U.S. This remarkable transformation from a traditional golf course to a highlighted destination reflects our dedication to excellence and guest satisfaction.
