Sweetens Cove
SOUTH PITTSBURGH, TENNESSEE • 2014
Sweetens Cove is one of the most audacious designs we’ve seen. [King-Collins] built one of the most diverse and entertaining set of green complexes found anywhere. This kind of fun, inventive, quick golf is more commonplace in the UK, which is why the game is so much healthier there than in America. If you leave [Sweetens Cove] smiling, don’t panic: golf is supposed to be fun.”
Ran Morrissett
The Confidential Guide to Golf Courses, v. 2
Sweetens Cove was our first project. These hard-fought-for nine holes, which were wrung out of a dead flat clay-bottomed floodplain in east Tennessee, gave life to our fledgling business.
The tale of its construction and operations have been told many times over, most notably in Jim Hartsell’s critically acclaimed book, The Secret Home of Golf. Today, the golf course has become a phenomenon in destination golf, selling its yearly allotment of tee times to visitors from all over the world in a matter of minutes. In addition to nine holes of meticulously crafted golf, the course is the spiritual home of Sweetens Cove Spirits Company.
