Bear Trace at Harrison Bay, Tennessee, United States
4.5 (23 reviews) Friday: 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM Spent Ranking #1 in Harrison Golf Courses
Real nice Golf Haven
The second Bear Trace course to open, Harrison Bay is destined to become a true classic in this collection designed by Jack Nicklaus. Located approximately 20 minutes north of downtown Chattanooga, the Bear Trace at Harrison Bay is surrounded by both water and heavily-wooded land, making an ideal setting for the course. Referred to as “the best natural piece of land for a golf course,” the course features Champion Bermuda greens and 419 Bermuda fairways lined with soaring pine and hardwood trees. Although water touches 12 fairways, there is more than sufficient room to play safely. Most greens are open in front, which makes the course more user-friendly for high-handicap players and allows run-up shots. Fairway and greenside bunkers are designed in the traditional Nicklaus fashion and add notable character to the overall integrity of the course. Like other courses in the collection, the emphasis on playability is clearly evident.

Visiting friends in Harrison, TN
While we were in Harrison, TN visiting friends. We decided to play a round of golf at Bear Trace. They had just aerated the course. So the greens were not in the best shape. But we still had a very good time. They only thing that didn't make any sense to me was, we were not allowed to take the cart to our truck to pick up our clubs or drop them off after playing 18 holes. There must have been some mishap in the parking lot, to not allow golfers to take the carts to their vehicle. Other than that, the folks were very friendly!

Beautiful, well maintained course
Played 18 here on June 21. Awesome course, layout is open and I hit a few bad shots that would have really hurt my score at most other courses I played, the miss hits I had were forgiving. Water views abound everywhere, but water in play on just a couple of holes. The staff were nice and polite, but my wife felt totally ignored by the grill staff. One big disappointment for me was that the water coolers were empty on a very hot day. Told the pro shop staff and and they were like, yeah we know. Too bad such a nice place, to have staff that doesn’t care.
