Golf in Clifton

Clifton is a small Wayne County town on the Tennessee River in south-central Tennessee, in the undulating terrain of the Western Highland Rim near the Alabama and Mississippi state lines. The Tennessee River corridor here is less developed than the TVA reservoir chains to the north and east — Clifton's riverfront is modest by comparison, reflecting the community's identity as a rural town rather than a resort destination. Wayne County occupies the western plateau edge, where thin soils and hardwood forest cover the gently varied terrain that drains west into the Tennessee River. Golf in this part of the state serves a dispersed rural population where courses function as community gathering points across wide, lightly settled geography.
