Harrison Bay State Park

Played an early round in late October, course was in great shape, the bunkers are in phenomenal condition. Course is really inexpensive by my standards, with a sleeve of ProV-1x balls it was still less than sixty dollars!

I walked the course and there’s really only one hole that had a long walk between green and the next tee. There were a ton of leaves on the ground but, it’s the fall. They also have the woods marked as lateral hazards which helps with pace of play. I got around in three and a half hours even though I had to wait on every tee around the back. Play this course, it’s one of the better ones around.

Really enjoyed the course. Fairways and greens were in great shape. The view of the lake was pretty sweet as well.

The golf course was very nice.·

The yellow flowers and the lake around the hall were so beautiful.·

I will recommend this golf course to my friends.·

This place is always a good choice. It’s a little pricey in the on-season but not terrible. I do recommend this place to anyone in the Chattanooga area. Among the public courses, this is my favorite in Chattanooga.

Played here for the first time today and loved it. Great layout, friendly staff and beautiful scenery everywhere. The course is in great condition.

Had played two days prior as well and got caught behind some slow play - it was a little frustrating but nothing that we all haven't experienced at some point. However on this day the pace was really bad. Enough to ruin the round - I quit after nine. Course was jammed up and there were 10+ minute waits on some tees. As I left the course I could see three groups on number 10 which assured me I made the right decision to abandon the round. Doubt I'll try to play here again.

My wife and I are avid golfers and like playing different courses throughout the country. Bear Trace was an excellent course. We shared a most enjoyable 18 holes of golf. Staff, course and quality time with my best friend made our day.

This course was in excellent condition. I was fortunate enough to play with a couple of regulars which really helped to know where to hit tee shots. Greens were great! Nice fairways. Can’t wait to go back!

Typical state park layout, with fairways wider than they appear from tee. Jack employed more right-to-left doglegs than he usually does in his designs. Greens were excellent. Wish there had been more memorable holes, particularly playing around the bay.

First time playing here, took a couple of holes to get the green speed down. This is a tight course, nice views of the water and eagles nest on 10. Will be playing here again.

This is a Jack Nicklaus course, and it shows. Was incredibly challenging and beautifully constructed. Overall in great shape, though a number of the greens had recently been accidentally killed and were under significant repair. The other issue was the pace of play was particularly slow - took us about 5 hours to get around.

This course has some incredible views, especially on the front nine. Being a Nicholas course you would expect a great layout and design and it doesn’t disappoint. They only downside was the conditions of the greens. They are experiencing issues and I hope they get this turned around soon. Will definitely play again!

Loved this course: extremely scenic, course has numerous signature holes and is routed over bold hilly land. Course conditions could have been better, but greens were in great shape.

The greens need work and I believe were not well prepared during the winter months. Over the past 13 years I have seen staff changes. Not a big fan of some of the newer folks, especially for the new pricing.

The golf course design however is pleasant. It offers an enjoyable experience for all skill levels.
