About
The Golf Club of Bristol was founded in 1894, making it one of the longest running clubs in the country. It's also considered the birthplace of organized golf in Tennessee and is still recognized as one of the best courses in the state. The current address is the fourth physical location of the club. The course that stands today was the created by A.G. McKay, a Tennessee native. The layout is challenging but fair with long, narrow fairways and fast, undulating greens. With several risk-reward holes throughout, it's a golf course that will make you think. The par-4 ninth, one of the tougher holes, is a dogleg left that plays uphill and over water. Besides the excellent game it offers, The Golf Club of Bristol is known for having some of the most well manicured fairways and greens in the area.

Fantastic experience
This course was a true gem. From the time you pulled in to the last putt it's a true golfers dream to play a course like this. On my list to play again
Good value, fun time
This course is a good value for the money, especially since I used the golfnow app! The course from the blue tees is not very long but it's challenging. Those golfing from the white tees will have a great experience. I would recommend this course to anyone. It has super greens, good bunkers and great fairways. You'll be glad you played!
nice course
Wintertime golf, so not much to go on. The course is pretty well maintained as far as the basics go...(tee boxes, fairways, greens...greens were in very good shape, rolled very true... lots of undulation, so i would guess in warm weather they could really cut them and roll them to make them brutal to putt on, but they werent terribly fast this weekend). The course isnt long, and its a little tight in spots, but really believe the greens could be this courses biggest defense. Its a little pricey at the normal rate, but occasionally you can get a really good deal on golfnow. We played for 20 bucks apiece, which is a steal. Sometimes, you can find it for 30, which its worth. The 50 bucks...ughhh, id have a hard time paying.
Course tests your aim!!
Great course! Always in great condition! Relatively short course, but it plays tough and fairways are narrow with plenty of bunkers!
This course is very nice!
I love playing here, the greens are always very good and the course set up is great!
