The golf tournament will take place at The Ooltewah Club located off Snow Hill Rd.

 

 

Under new ownership, in the last two years, over 5 million dollars has been invested in dynamic course updates, upgrades, and improvements. Some of the many changes include rerouting of the golf course, a redesign of the clubhouse with an expanded kitchen, a major pool renovation, a new short game facility, a professionally installed multi-sport/use simulator room with lounge spacing and furniture, and new top-of-the-line course maintenance equipment. 

 

All 18 holes had their greens stripped and re-sodded with a new variety of TifEagle Bermuda grass and Zoysia was placed on all the tee boxes.  And finally, a full course install of bunker capillary concrete drain systems, a completely reworked driving range, and new course directional information and signage round out almost all of the major improvements.
