The Grove
About The Grove
The Grove's 18-hole championship course in College Grove, Tennessee, was designed by Greg Norman and routed across ridgelines, valleys and preserved open space. Elevation changes give the layout movement, with long fairways leading into demanding approach shots and greens that reward accuracy while still allowing for inventive play.
The holes follow the contours of the land rather than reshaping it, and the routing emphasizes strategy without becoming unapproachable. Multiple sets of tees accommodate a range of skill levels, keeping the course playable for golfers of differing abilities.
