The Golf Club of Bristol

The staff was incredibly welcoming, the greens were immaculate and the course was challenging & fun to play. We will definitely play again when we visit Bristol. My

Fun course with a variety of holes. Flows really well.

First time at course, Bad experience, were holding a college tournament. When they let us tee off, got to the 1st green, 4 groups standing on 2nd tee. Took 3 hours to play 9 holes, so only got to play 9 holes.

This course in TN advertises itself as the oldest golf club in TN, founded in 1894. It was actually a tale of two golf courses for us.
First, the course itself. Incredibly well maintained, great from every tee box straight through the greens. A couple bunkers had a rough edge or two, but overall, it was remarkable. The terrain, the layout the whole works. The Superintendent there KNOWS what he is doing!
But then, the rest of the story. The "amenities" of the course were virtually non-existent! A bare-bones pro shop, no snack bar at all on Monday and Tuesday (closest food about two miles away), some rough carts, no signage, no ball washers on any hole, no toilets -- nothing! Man in pro shop said they had been through 12 pros in 12 years. No question about it.

I would tell anyone "Come play this course. At $40-ish a round it is more than worth it, but be prepared for a truly minimalist experience when it comes to the "extras."

I’m actually a little upset we didn’t find this course until today...what a fantastic round. It was immaculate, best fairways hands down in 100 mile radius of public courses. Greens were true and smooth with the tee boxes the best we’ve seen. The hubs and I can’t wait to go back - only recommendation would be a ranger on duty for busy days. We had a situation where a couple of younger players skipped some holes and shot in front of us. But overall, you could not ask for a better overall experience!

Played this course while travelling through the area. The fairways were wide. The length was good with elevation changes that added to it. The conditions were good at tee and greens. Harzards and traps protected some greens.

This is the best course I have played in the Tri-cities area...great grass conditions and really fast greens. Actually it plays a bit harder than my abilities but was quite enjoyable

Not in great shape. Very unfriendly pro shop and restaurant staff. Lacking leadership. Could be memorable. Evidently this was the last day of public play, going private Nov 1. Very evident they did not want outsiders to be there. Super slow foursome in front of us all day who had no desire to let a twosome play through. Three open holes ahead of them.

This was without a doubt one of the nicest courses I have ever booked on Golfnow. We were warmly greeting in the pro shop as soon as we arrived and were given a verbal course tour that was both entertaining and informative. The course was manicured to perfection, the greens rolled well and were receptive to shots despite being aerated 18 days ago. This course was very well laid out with great use of the rolling terrain. The par 3s are long yardagewise but most play downhill so they play a little shorter than the distance on the card. Everything about this course was near perfect. If I lived in the area, this would be high on my list for membership.

Course is I. Immaculate condition. It is a fair test of golf and has plenty of challenges for every level player. It is a course one could play every day and not tire of it.

Course is in excellent condition. Greens are fast and true. Cart paths need work in places. Enjoy your round!

Golf course condition is as good or better than any other area course. Aerification holes have healed and greens are excellent. Appears tournament ready to me. Course is now semi-private and membership fees are very competitive. Fourth trip back to this course in the past two years and have never been disappointed. Highly recommended.

Tee time at 2:39 on a Saturday. Expected it to be busy since it was such a nice day, but the pace of play was horrendous. A five hour round of golf is crazy for a course that was under 5,900 yds from the white tees. My friend and I were paired up with a very nice Father and son who had played the course before and local knowledge did help a bit. Course was in very good condition considering all the grass isn't fully in yet. Greens are very undulated and fast which made them difficult but fun. I would say in another month the course will be in fantastic condition. Would definitely play there again but if it's another 5 hour round it would probably be my last trip up there.

The course was in good shape considering that the day before rained all day. Temp was only in the 40's too. Would love to play this course again when warmer. Staff was very nice and accommodating.

Our foursome had a great time. Great facility for the price. Will be back!
