Bear Trace at Harrison Bay (TN Golf Trail)

Great course, tee boxes, fairways, sand traps, and greens are all in great condition. Beautiful views, we even some some wildlife near the course. Friendly staff. Nice grill to order food from. Great food, fast and friendly service.

I really like the course. It is challenging but very playable with wide fairways and a smattering of bunkers protecting the greens. Most holes are forgiving for those who slice but a draw will be rewarded. In general the staff is friendly. The views are quite pleasing.

I'm giving this course 2 stars because of the beautiful views of the lake and the scenery on the course. But if I was rating the shape of the course I would have to give them a 1 star bc I couldn't give them a 0. We brought 8 golfers down from knoxville today. And the course was in awful shape. Definitely was not worth the 65$ to play. More like a 35$ course. Greens weren't mowed this morning, greens were in rough shape all the way around also Slow, bumpy, bare some greens had areas of new sod like they had lost their greens a hit. Fairways were in decent shape. If you were off the fairway it was bare, rocky, dirt, mud ( you name it). Approaches were thin and bare. Newly soded areas in the approaches were poorly done. Tee boxes were thin, bare might as well been hitting from sand bunkers off the tees on all par 3's. Bunkers had no defined edges. Just all around awful experience and waste of money.

Played the course the first weekend of October and couldn't be more pleased. The course is absolutely beautiful. Tree lined fairways, plenty of water - if you're good off the tee, you can be successful at this course. Greens rolled perfectly and fairways are in perfect condition. The only downside was the clubhouse being closed due to COVID - still have food and drinks but you can't go inside to eat or shop.

The course was fantastic and beautiful. The greens emaculat keeled. We were never pushed or rushed at anytime and could enjoy the wildlife and the views.nI was a little disappointed in the fact we were not told about the club house being closed and no drink cart on the course. We were told we could bring a cooler with water but couldn't take it out on the course. I understand about the epidemic but you should be open and honest to your guest.nnThank you.
