Golf in Ooltewah

Ooltewah is a Hamilton County community in the northeastern Chattanooga suburbs, positioned in the varied terrain between the Tennessee River valley and the ridge country of the Cumberland Plateau's southeastern face. The community's name comes from the Cherokee, and the broader corridor through northeastern Hamilton County has grown substantially as Chattanooga's suburban expansion has pushed northeast along Interstate 75. The Honors Course, situated in the wooded hills south of Ooltewah, is one of the most highly regarded private clubs in the United States — a Pete Dye design consistently ranked among the top courses in the country and the top private layouts in Tennessee. That presence lends Ooltewah a distinction in the national golf conversation disproportionate to its size, and the broader northeastern Hamilton County golf scene reflects the community's affluent and growing character.
