Bear Trace at Harrison Bay (TN Golf Trail)

Played there yesterday, the course is not in good shape. Most all the tees had no grass on them and were very hard, many of the fairways were bald in many places. The greens were excellent and rolled very nicely. Also, the course was not marshaled very well. Huge backup when we turned to the second 9 holes. It is certainly not worth $85 right now 04/18/25

Amazing course ! Front 9 has lots of water view holes. Couldn’t have been more pleased after making the drive down from KY. We walked 18 and it’s beautiful, quite, and no wait times. Highly recommend!

I LOVE this golf course. Amazing views, great greens, reasonably priced on weekdays. However, what I'm not a fan of, is being forced to play with other groups. There are only 3 golf courses in all of Chattanooga that I'm aware of (concord, valleybrook, montlake) that never make you play with strangers. I always get told it's because they want to maintain a good "pace of play". I'm a fast golfer. Last time I tried playing with randoms, for 9 holes it took almost 3 HOURS, when it would normally take me about an hour and 15 if I was alone. I don't want to be paired up with 3 randoms who might play very slowly and what happens if your personality doesn't mesh with other people? I know most people don't like playing with random people anyway. Growing up, I played at a course where if you were slow, you had to pull over and make the faster players through and we never had any issues. Why can't golf courses go back to this? You would in theory make more money this way as well. This place would definitely have my business more if they would stop pairing people with randoms.

The course was in great condition for the season. The staff was accommodating and every golfer that I talked to was friendly. The pro shop was clean and every staff member was professional. As we were finishing up I watched a technician meticulously sweep in front of each entry door. Even the starter was beam of positivity! Do your self a favor and book a tee time at the 🐻!!

Wow What A Great Golf Course!! Conditions on this course were excellent! Bermuda Greens were insanely good... they were running at 12 or so and smooth as a pool table! Fun layout and friendly staff, you cant go wrong here! Play it, you will not be disappointed.
