Course Overview
Crockett Ridge Golf Course offers a compelling experience for golfers seeking a well-maintained, 18-hole challenge in the Kingsport, Tennessee area. This public course spreads across gently rolling terrain where fairways weave through a mix of natural woodlands and water hazards. The layout invites players of all skill levels to engage thoughtfully with a design that balances accessibility and strategic demands without overwhelming novices or failing to test seasoned golfers.
The course features a classic parkland style, with holes framed by mature trees that influence shot selection and shot shaping. Water comes into play on several holes, requiring both accuracy and strategic planning especially around the mid-to-late stretch, where a pond guards the approach to a well-contoured green. Bunkers are positioned with purpose along the fairways and around greens, creating subtle traps that challenge distance control and precision.
Greens at Crockett Ridge are generally receptive with a moderate undulation pattern, encouraging creative putting lines without punishing less confident putters. The practice facilities complement the playing experience well, including a driving range, putting green, and short game areas where players can fine-tune their game before heading out. Rental clubs and instruction are also available, providing convenience for newcomers or visitors traveling light.
The peaceful setting benefits from attentive maintenance, with the course’s rough kept low and the fairways in sound condition year-round, making walking a pleasure for those who choose it. Walking is encouraged, and players are advised to bring comfortable shoes due to gentle elevation changes across the course.
Crockett Ridge welcomes golfers looking for a solid public layout with enough character and challenge to merit repeat visits. Its combination of natural beauty, thoughtful design, and supportive staff make it a standout in the Northeast Tennessee area for those seeking both improvement opportunities and an enjoyable day on the links.

Beautiful golf course. Very nice people work there.
Steven Enfield
Excellent course, want lose no balls here unless you put it in the pond. They keep it in tip top shape. Vert low rough. Highly recommend this course. My favorite in the area! Green are in great shape. Call to set up a tee time. Beautiful course.

I wish I would have took photos from today’s round. The worst kept greens I have ever witnessed, basically putting on bunkers. All greens are lost. Won’t be back until I hear they are cleaned up. $55 is a joke for how awful shape they are in. Wouldn’t even play for a half off special.
Ale Guti

My brother in law and I went here a few days ago. Neither of us had ever been before. We had an absolute blast! I personally recommend paying for the sessions with the pros out there. I learned so much from those guys. They taught us etiquette, techniques, and when to use them. The staff is really helpful and friendly. They rent clubs too if anyone is wondering. If you have been wanting to play golf, just try it. I'll definitely be going back.
Jeff Couch
In good shape compared to other courses in the area. Really good practice facility. Greens were in very good shape. If you get a chance or want to play it, I would recommend this course. BTW, the layout and scenery is very nice.

Too expensive. The golf carts are a pain in the ass. It constantly stops your cart if it doesn't like where it thinks you are. Your own beverages aren't allowed. They want you to pay 4.50 each for theirs. Their snack bar is pathetic. For 4$ you get a cheap weenie on hot rollers. A cold bun. No chili. No onion. They obviously don't care about the average golfer, and instead think their course in the boonies is first class, but it simply isn't. No wonder we were pretty much alone on the course on Sunday at 11 AM. The course is fun, but the "smart" golf cart ruined the day. I won't go back.
