Spent last week in Chattanooga and got to play a few courses that I think are worth mentioning and recommending.

Played Wind Stone, Moccasin Bend, and Council Fire.  All three were challenging and in very good shape...Played Wind Stone and Moccasin Bend on days that were pretty breezy and Council Fire after a heavy rain the night before.

If you are going to be in Chattanooga and want to play, I would recommend any of these courses...

Reviving a very old thread..It's posts like this, even old ones that help someone down the road.   

The wife is looking to drive to Sarasota, Fl possibly the third week in February for two weeks.   10 hours in a car would be her max.   From our abode to Chattanooga, TN is close to the 10 hour trip.    I am taking my clubs, she wants a day spa or something relaxing (non-golfer).     

What's the weather like around the 3rd week of February, recommendations or comments on the courses that were listed by @Osnola and can I get recommendations for golf courses near Sarasota.   

The trip isn't a definite one but a high probability.

As it gets colder, I've toyed with the idea of taking a long weekend down that way.  My own frugality hasn't allowed it yet, but I've had a decent year and could probably afford it.

The thinking is that it might be just far enough south to be comfortable and just north enough to be inexpensive.

I was thinking about the week after Christmas though.

If you are stopping in Chattanooga - Sweeten's Cove is a must. It's only a 30 minute drive.

Sweetens Cove Golf Club is a nine-hole golf course in South Pittsburg, Tennessee, just 30 minutes from Chattanooga. Featured in The New York Times and ranked #50 on Golfweek's list of the Top 100 Modern Golf...

 

Absolutely agree. Play sweetens!

Just across the TN-GA line, Nob North is a great course to play.  It's not far from Chatt; just take 75 down and come back up.

You can also check out Bear Trace at Harrison Bay.  I played high school playoff golf there.

Very nice.   We've booked the Sarasota week in February and will probably hit Chattanooga either on the way down or back home.  Thanks

Afternoon all,

Looking for some recommendations for a couple courses to play in the Chattanooga area. My daughter has a volleyball tournament in Atlanta and we're stopping in the area on the way down.  Staying right off I-75 and Lifestyle Way if that helps for recommendations.  

Hoping to play a round with another volleyball dad the afternoon of Wednesday, March 31st and morning of Thursday, April 1st while the girls enjoy the pool at the hotel. 

I see Brainerd Golf Course and Brown Acres are very close by. Worth a go?

Thanks in advance.

Driver - Callaway Epic Flash, 3 Wood - Callaway Mavrik, 4 Hybrid - Callaway Big Bertha,

Irons - 5-AW Mavrik Pro's, Putter - Odyssey White Hot OG 1, Ball - Callaway Chrome Soft

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By DeadMan · Posted

      Day 16: range night! Worked on long game for about 40 minutes, with a good solid 20 minute focus on my priority piece. Things improving there. Bookended that with some wedge and driver work. Finished up with about 30 minutes of short game. Working on distance control and all types of shots and lies. Short game is probably as good as it has ever been.

      Edel Putter Grip and Rattle

      By iacas · Posted

      You should be able to install it yourself, honestly. You could easily blow it on and use some one-sided duct tape or something so it stays in place. That's what I've done with one of my grips.

      Edel Putter Grip and Rattle

      By Shindig · Posted

      Hi all, My Edel putter seems to have developed a rattle.  I don't think it's a big deal, as I mostly hear it when I'm tapping down ball marks on greens.  However, I am debating getting it fixed, especially as I intend to play a lot of golf in August and September, and to continue playing regularly after that of course too.  My issue is I think fixing it would entail the fixer (golf shop repair station?) removing the grip and, presumably, applying a new one.  My problem is two-fold.   First, I like the grip on it, although after eleven years, maybe it's worth replacing.   The bigger (second) issue is getting the grip.  I don't like the flat-fronted putter grips anymore.  I have the round one on my putter, and I suppose I could buy one from Edel's website, but would a golf shop install a grip I bought elsewhere and brought in?  Or could they order one if Edel is not a supplier of theirs?  I don't recall ever seeing any Edel products in a Roger Dunn or PGA Superstore, although the era when I would go to a store and browse has long since ended (for better or worse).  I'd also wonder what the timetable is, as I'm leaving for a seven week trip in under three weeks. Any suggestions on what to do would be very welcome, whether about the rattle or the grip, together or independently.  Thank you!

      Gauging Wind

      By Shindig · Posted

      I'm glad to know that picking up grass and letting it go doesn't help.  It felt like it shouldn't, but I'm glad to hear there's a good reason why.  It makes sense that wind is different higher up than it is near the surface. For a while, I was in the habit of checking the prevailing wind direction before playing.  That helped if I wasn't sure.  However, I still am not really sure whether something is a 5% wind or a 10% wind (and, of course, I know that a "helping" wind helps about half as much as the same wind hurting).   One of these days, I'll learn how to figure out what to do differently if the prevailing wind is 10mph vs 20 mph.
