Course Reviews
Love this course. All par 3s in my opinion but difficult for an advanced player to shoot 54 or better. Beautiful, well-manicured park, with rolling hills, water hazards, mature trees, and clean lines.
Worth a play if you're in the area. Challenging, but not outrageously difficult. Except the first hole, which is a long throw for a recreational level player to make off the tee across water. Tough way to start with a guaranteed bogey+ if you don't risk it and take the drop zone or do risk it and lose a disc. A few holes are listed as par 4 on the sign and really shouldn't be. My group played them all par 3.
My home course. H.b. Clark design. 18 holes in a rolling wooded park setting.
Pros: Nice signage and teepads. No 2 holes are alike at all. Tests all skill levels to have well placed shots on nearly every hole. Perfect mix of anhyzer and hyzer shots off the tees. Beautiful setting and layout.
Cons: 1st tee is a long shot across water which can be a problem for a cold arm. 4,5,7,8,9,10,11 hold water during extensive rain.
Challenging and fun all around. Well worth the short drive off of I-40.
Well. This course may or may not exist. We couldn't find it.
It is a great course but some not par 4 but besides that it is a good course!
Amazing course!!! We live in Chattanooga and made the hour drive up to Harriman this weekend and we were VERY impressed. Some may say that it is short, but I really appreciate the skilled wooded courses as opposed the the "grip and rip" long open courses. We thought that it was well worth the drive and will revisit many times to come.
The lay out flowed very well and it was a good balance of straight, right hook and left hook shots. Really loved the tight drive windows on many holes. There were two holes (4 and 5) that I thought were too much of a 90 degree angle but still enjoeyed and pared them.
The course was very well marked and maintained and thought that it provided a very good challenge. I shot a 60 (par) and my fiance shot a 68. We both loved it and thought that it is up there as one of the best we have played.
I live about 40mins away from this course and I find myself making the trip weekly to play this course. In light of this park offering activities for my family, it is well worth the trip to just play the course. The course offers a mix of wooded and open holes and they have installed 9 more holes which takes the difficulty up a notch. Worth the trip and time to play this course. One thing to note is that the back 9 do not have signs yet so it is tough to navigate right now. Something that will be very helpful for those who go play this course is that holes 12-14 are on the other side of the road along the lake. See you out there!

Roane County Park DGC (known by RoCo to locals) is a heavily wooded course in Harriman, TN. This isn't a course you hear a ton about but in my opinion it is somewhat of a hidden gem. This isn't a course that you want to take a long road trip to hit, but if you were to find it in travels, you will be pleasantly surprised. Some long tight fairways where shot shaping is key. This course is at a beautiful park where there is water in play on several holes. The elevation at the park was definitely used in the designing of this course as well. Nice concrete tee pads, tee signs, a course sign, and discatcher baskets. In addition to this, there are multiple pin placements for each hole so you could play a different layout on a second visit if you end up there when the baskets have been moved. No real complaints about this course besides the fact that a few of the holes are a little too unforgiving with an overwhelming amount of trees in your fairways.Other than that, this is definitely a course you need to play if you are near the area!
