Bear Trace At Tims Ford State Park (TN Golf Trail)

About Bear Trace At Tims Ford State Park (TN Golf Trail)

You'll find this gem nestled within Tims Ford State Park, where the natural Tennessee landscape does most of the heavy lifting in creating memorable golf holes. The course winds through rolling hills and mature hardwoods, with several holes offering glimpses of Tims Ford Lake in the distance. What sets this layout apart is how it embraces the terrain rather than fighting it – you'll encounter elevation changes that create blind shots and dramatic approaches, particularly on the back nine where the routing gets more adventurous through the deeper woods. The conditioning punches well above its weight for a state park course, and the greens typically roll true with enough subtle undulation to reward good approach shots. At around $40-50 for 18 holes, it delivers exceptional value for a course that could easily charge resort prices given its setting. The 4.5-star rating from nearly 200 reviews tells the story – this isn't just a convenient option for locals, but a destination worth the drive to Winchester for anyone exploring Tennessee golf.
