Crossville, Tennessee
Situated in the heart of Tennessee`s scenic Cumberland Plateau, The Bear Trace at Cumberland Mountain was named "Top Ten Courses in Tennessee" by Golf Digest in 2001. Cumberland Mountain was also named "1998`s Best New Golf Course in Tennessee," by local and regional golfers that was followed in 1999 by Golf Magazine`s "One of the Top Ten You Can Play" in North America. Today, The Bear Trace at Cumberland Mountain is one of the most sought-after sites among the five Jack Nicklaus designed Bear Trace courses in Tennessee. The 6,900-yard (gold tees), par 72 layout features a design that capitalizes on elevation changes as well as natural features, such as flowing brooks and clustered, mature pines. The signature 7th hole, a 393-yard, par 4, incorporates another of the region`s natural resources, layered flagstone, along the front of the green.
