Golf in Martin

Martin is the seat of Weakley County in northwestern Tennessee and home to the University of Tennessee at Martin, the regional campus of the UT system that gives this otherwise rural community a university-town dimension well above its raw population size. The city anchors a county in the flat West Tennessee upland between the Tennessee River and the Obion River bottomlands, in territory that was among the last of Middle West Tennessee to be settled in the early 19th century. UT Martin's presence brings a younger demographic, collegiate athletics, and the civic infrastructure of an academic institution to a county that would otherwise be entirely agricultural in character. Golf in Martin serves the university community and the broader Weakley County population.
