History
Sweetens Cove Golf Club in South Pittsburg, Tennessee, a remarkable 9-hole course designed by Rob Collins and Tad King and opened in 2014, has achieved cult status as one of the most celebrated short-form golf experiences in America. The architects found extraordinary terrain in the valley below Sequatchie Mountain and created nine holes of thrilling strategic variety with boldly contoured greens, multiple tee options, and compelling risk-reward decisions. Its affordable green fees, playful design philosophy, and spectacular mountain setting have made it a pilgrimage destination and one of the most written-about courses built in the last decade.
