SWEETENS COVE GOLF

2040 Sweetens Cove Rd, South Pittsburg, TN 37380
(423) 280-9692

Pure golf. No frills. All magic.

Just 30 minutes outside Chattanooga, tucked into the foothills of Appalachia, lies Sweetens Cove Golf Club — a place that’s become nothing short of legendary among golfers. No grand clubhouse. No driving range. No putting green. Just a trailer, a few carts, and nine of the most unforgettable holes you’ll ever play.

This unassuming nine-hole masterpiece delivers a golfing experience unlike anything else in the Southeast. Designed by King-Collins Golf, Sweetens Cove has been praised by golf historians and purists alike for its artistry and throwback design reminiscent of the original Augusta National. As golf writer Anthony Pioppi put it, “Sweetens Cove harkens back to one of the most influential golf courses ever built… MacKenzie could have been describing Sweetens today.”

PEYTON MANNING & THE SWEETENS LEGACY

In May 2019, NFL legend Peyton Manning joined an all-star ownership group alongside Andy Roddick, Rob Collins, Skip Bronson, Tom Nolan, and Drew Holcomb — bringing his passion for Tennessee, teamwork, and tradition to this one-of-a-kind course.

That same spirit inspired the creation of Sweetens Cove Bourbon, co-owned by Manning and born from the golf course’s storied “first tee shot, first sip” ritual. Together, the golf club and the bourbon celebrate craftsmanship, camaraderie, and the shared love of good stories told among friends.

Small-town charm, delicious prepared foods, unique gifts, and one of the quaintest shopping spots around — Market on the Mountain is more than just a market.

The McLemore Book Club gathered last night to discuss The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot by Marianne Cronin — and let’s just say it wasn’t exactly a crowd favorite. While beautifully written, many of our book club members found it a bit too heavy and emotional for their taste.

So now we want to hear from you! If you could recommend one book our followers should pick up instead, what would it be? Drop your favorite reads in the comments!

Next on the McLemore Book Club reading list: Theo of Golden by Allen Levi.
