"Very rarely does a golf course come along that has everything; beautiful scenery, outstanding layout, and challenges around every corner.  The new Bear Trace course at Ross Creek Landing is all of those things and more.  The course is challenging for every type of golfer and is an incredible value for golfers in Tennessee today." - Dick Horton, Ex Dir. of the Tennessee Section PGA

As one of the most naturally beautiful states in the Southeast, Tennessee now boasts a classic collection of Jack Nicklaus-designed golf courses offering a proper balance between challenge and playability.

The name itself pays the ultimate tribute to the most noted name in golf and to the historic Natchez Trace, which originates in Tennessee. The symbolism is clear. Jack Nicklaus, the Golden Bear, has contributed as much to the game of golf as any player in history, earning worldwide acclaim as a player and as a golf-course designer. The Natchez Trace, as a well-traveled thoroughfare, played an instrumental role in the growth of the South
in the late 1700's.

The present Bear Trace lineup features exhilarating playability layouts at five select Tennessee locations: Cumberland Mountain near Crossville, Harrison Bay near Chattanooga, Tims Ford near Winchester, Chickasaw near Henderson and Ross Creek Landing in Jackson. Each Bear Trace course provides golfers in Tennessee and from throughout North America the opportunity to play championship golf
at truly affordable rates.
