The classic Donald Ross design has small, mounded greens with an abundance of slope.  The course has wide-open fairways with strategically placed bunkers. Water hazards also come into play on numerous holes. The last hole is a difficult 446-yard par 4 with a tumbling plateau fairway.  Players can go around the course twice for a full 18 holes playing at more than 6400 yards.

Sweetens Cover Golf Club – South Pittsburg, Tennessee

The design of the course is fun with players trying to figure out whether or not to use or avoid the vastly changing ground contours throughout the course. Most of the bumps, ridges, and swales were created by hand on an otherwise very flat layout. The greens are protected by pot bunkers and steep fronts. Some of the greens feel like double greens. While hitting greens in regulation is the key to any course, landing on the wrong part of the green will provide some of the craziest double-breakers a golfer will ever encounter.
