Sitting at the highest elevation between the Rocky Mountains and the Smoky Mountains, Fairfield Glade has a claim most golf destinations can’t make: the views come standard. Perched on the Cumberland Plateau above Crossville, this resort community is surrounded by 11 lakes, dense hardwood forest, and four championship golf courses — two of which GolfWeek ranked among the best public-access courses in Tennessee in 2024.
Whether you’re planning a weekend trip or scouting a place to put down roots, Fairfield Glade makes a strong case for itself on the fairway.
Golf Courses in Fairfield Glade, Tennessee
Stonehenge Golf Club
Stonehenge is the crown jewel of Fairfield Glade golf. Designed by Joe Lee — known for crafting courses that reward strategic thinking over raw power — this 18-hole, par-72 layout features bentgrass greens and tees with zoysia fairways. Water hazards, well-placed bunkers, and meaningful elevation changes make it a course that plays differently depending on where you miss. Golf Digest has ranked it among Tennessee’s top public courses, and GolfWeek echoed that in 2024. It also hosts the Tennessee Senior State Open each year, drawing competitive play from across the region.

Druid Hills Golf Club
Open since 1973, Druid Hills is the most established course in the Glade and has a loyal following for good reason. The 18-hole, par-72 layout rolls through the plateau with well-maintained greens and a classic feel that doesn’t try too hard to impress — it earns it. The signature moment is hole #14, a par-3 that plays over water and has ended more than a few otherwise solid rounds. A good warm-up for Stonehenge; a satisfying round on its own.

Heatherhurst Golf Club
Heatherhurst offers something rare: two distinct 18-hole courses on the same property, each with its own personality. The Brae plays like a Scottish links course — open, exposed, wind-dependent, and unforgiving in the best way. The Crag is more traditional, with tree-lined fairways that demand accuracy off the tee. GolfWeek recognized The Brae as one of Tennessee’s top public-access courses in 2024, and it regularly appears on Golf Digest’s “Top 10 Courses You Can Play in Tennessee.” If you’re only playing one round at Heatherhurst, The Brae is the one to book — but serious golfers will want to play both.

Dorchester Golf Club
Dorchester is the quieter option — 18 holes, par-72, tucked into wooded terrain with water features woven throughout. It draws golfers looking for a more contemplative round, away from the tournament atmosphere of Stonehenge or the prestige of The Brae. The natural landscape does most of the design work here, with undulating greens and bunkers positioned to punish the impatient. If you’ve played the others and want something more low-key, Dorchester delivers.

When to Visit
Spring through fall offers the best playing conditions on the Plateau. The elevation keeps summers cooler than much of Tennessee, which makes a July round here far more comfortable than one in Nashville or Memphis. Fall is particularly striking — the hardwoods turn and the course views become something else entirely.
