📍 407 Wild Plum Ln, Crossville, TN 38572, USA
★ 3.9 (305) Good availabilityBear Trace Cumberland Mountain is an 18-hole course in Crossville, rated 3.9 on Google from 305 reviews. Golfers praise the layout, which rolls through the hills, along with well-kept fairways and tee boxes and a friendly staff from the pro shop to the starter. Some reviewers found the greens rougher than expected in late April and the cart paths in need of upkeep, but the course is described as fun, championship-level, and in good shape overall.

$80/ for a 5hr3min round on a Wednesday is not a value. Too bad. The layout is amazing. Greens were rougher than expected for the end of April. Really only 3 tees, sometimes 4, but all very good. Bunkers were well maintained. Carts were just ok, no GPS, just basic, but walking the back 9 would be difficult; lots of distance green to tee. Fairways and roughs well kept. Cart paths were not good. Had the local old folks played a better pace, we would have enjoyed it more. Great staff, pro shop, and grill. Again, pricing and pace kept this from a 5 star review.
Beautiful. Perfectly manicured fairways rolling through the hills. Super nice pro shop folks, extremely helpful starter. Championship level, plays long and the 90 degree rule will have you doing some walking up to elevated greens. 4 holes have hazards you might want to drop a stroke and lay up or you'll pay for it. The bunkers aren't in the usual nightmare locations for this designer so they're manageable in shot placement. The back nine has respectful elevation changes, you'll get some exercise. It's a beauty, a challenge and memorable. (First time through bring a couple extra balls if you're human).
Had a good time here. Played by myself on a morning where it was not very busy. Every staff member I talked to was very nice and welcoming. The course is in good shape. - Tee boxes, fairways, sand traps, and greens are in good shape. -a couple of greens had a few weeds on the fringe but not bad. -The rough off the fairways is somewhat weedy but manageable. -The greens aren’t overly fast but rolled pretty true. The course layout is very fair. It’s not a long course so I usually had a wedge or short iron on approach shots. However, the greens are small so distance control is important. A good amount of risk/reward. From the divots on some tee boxes, it looked like a few people hit irons off tee for positioning. I was hitting/controlling my driver well so I hit driver on all par 4s and 5s.
Very well maintained course. Friendly staff. Fairways and tee box area in exceptional shape. Cart paths need some maintenance
Very fun layout and the greens were really nice. Fairways were solid, and all a round pace of play was fine for a Friday.
