”Golfers are constantly looking for new and unique experiences, and the ‘Where the Valley Meets the Sky’ tournament will deliver on that expectation in a huge way,” said Executive Vice President of McLemore and former PGA Tour player Charlie Rymer. “In a first of its kind collaboration between McLemore and Sweetens Cove, two of the most talked about courses in the Southeast, a feast of the senses will be served up to tournament participants.
“Sweetens Cove delivers one of the most visually interesting courses in the country, while the top-100 Highlands Course at McLemore quite literally lets golfers play above the clouds. It’s a match made in heaven. Join us for an exceptional event you’ll have to experience to believe.”
Located in the mountains of Northwest Georgia, McLemore’s lifestyle attracts discerning families who prefer to enjoy life “above the clouds.” The club features a Bill Bergin / Rees Jones-designed golf course that boasts a finishing hole considered one of the best in the world and a short course ideal for every golfer.
Located less than an hour from McLemore and Chattanooga in South Pittsburg, Tenn., Sweetens Cove is a layout that has no equal. The famed nine-hole layout existed as a municipal course, then was reborn after the King-Collins course design team reimagined it as an inland links course. Borrowing architectural inspiration from some of the game’s most stored layouts, King-Collins crafted Sweetens Cove for maximum enjoyment – wide fairways and big greens, with golfers choosing their own adventure in the way they play the course.
