We spend the day here, playing a round in the morning, eat lunch on site, and play one more round in the afternoon. Here's what we like: the green fees are fairly decent, and the replay rate is only $10. The restaurant is outstanding and I always order the grilled chicken salad with blue cheese dressing. The dressing is homemade and is incredible. The staff at the pro shop and restaurant are very professional. Very courteous. The not so good side: The golf course is in terrible shape. I sense that they are trying to make improvements but it's really rough right now. The layout is fun and a decent challenge but it's hard to find a good lie anywhere. The bunkers are hard packed. The fairways don't drain well. I'm hoping things turn out better over the spring and summer. Their weekend rate begins on Friday morning. I've been working for 40 years and my boss has always said that the weekend begins Friday night. $44 for the round, cart included. So, overall the rate is good when you add in the replay for $10. Some advice, don't call it a weekend rate, call it your Friday - Sunday Rate.

I will start by saying that this place is great! My wife and I visited recently for a weekend…read moregetaway in the off-peak winter month of February and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The initial booking interaction with the front office manager was excellent, and she went out of her way to make sure we were familiarized with the property, how to get in and out of the coded gate, and where to find our documents/keys, etc. as we were checking in late upon arrival. The cabin was beautiful, if not a tad outdated in the typical "Gatlinburg mountain-style" motif, and was settled nicely by itself without an immediate neighbor, so we felt very comfortable, secluded, and able to fully relax - the ideal weekend getaway environment! What was even better was the pricing. Our cabin was a 2 bedroom, 3 bath, fully stocked kitchen with all appliances, dishware, silverware, etc, and a living room area with 2 couches, a lounge chair, including a flat panel with tv access, and all across 2 stories. Everything was very well cleaned, the loft area was beautiful, and even had an in-room whirlpool-jetted tub. Everything they said they'd do, they did. Great service, nice location very close to the Fall Creek Falls State Park, and within 15 mins either way of the nearest town for additional options. Overall, we'd most certainly visit here again the next time we're looking for a hike along the beautiful falls nearby!

Played this course for the first time a few weeks ago and for the price I was very impressed. A…read moreshort drive south of Nashville, Blackberry Ridge is now owned by the Phillips family and they were absolutely wonderful hosts to us when we arrived at their course. Very friendly and accommodating. The course itself needs some work, but they will be the first to admit that and it sounds like they are going to put in the work that it needs. I'm excited to return next summer and see the progress. Even when we played in November, the greens and tee boxes were still OK. My one main complaint is that the distance markers at the tee boxes and on the scorecard don't match up, and even when they do it is obviously apparent the distance is incorrect (I play frequently and know how far I hit my shots -- a few times I ended up in the water off the tee or WELL short of some hazard; so that's how I know the distances are off). Hopefully this is fixed come next spring. All in all, can't wait to play here again.

Unfortunately, however, the secret is out. Getting a tee time here is near impossible now. The course only opens up tee times five days out, and if you are not waiting online within 15 minutes of them going live, you have no chance playing anything but twilight on the weekends. If you are one of the lucky few who do manage to get a tee time, however, you won't be disappointed! Good luck, Clayton Cohn

GOLF SNOBS BEWARE If you want ideal conditions, perfect…read moregreens and PGA quality everywhere this course is not for you and please stay away. But if you want someplace to hone your game with real people who care and a price you can afford, this place is for you. Yes it is your basic rural golf course with sand greens and some ragged places on site. It is also priced right and has several levels of play. The front nine is just right for the beginning to intermediate player. The front nine does reward good play but does not inflict pain upon mishits. The second, third and eighth hole encourages target golf and is a prelude to the back nine where the good to experienced player is challenged by target golf at its best with the fourteenth through seventeenth having bite if you do not place your shot in the right spot at the right distance. In short you can get yourself ready to play the type of courses that only the GOLF SNOBS play. This course is in the second year of upgrading and you will enjoy if you like golf.

My friends and I wanted to play Sweetens Cove GC very badly, we heard it was a nice golf course…read more But we did not get to play it. It is extremely difficult to play. The teetime reservation system is the worst I've ever seen. It is online only and open only a couple times per year. The customer service is even worse than that! I made a $40 reservation on a teetime for a week ago when it was raining, so I called the clubhouse to see about a rain check. I called four times and never got a hold of anyone in the pro shop, and never received a callback from anyone either. I emailed the pro shop as well and again had no response to my email either. So, I'm out $40 now and never even got to change my teetime. I will say it is very disappointing to have this type of customer service from any business. We will not be going back.
