Brown Acres Golf Course

About Brown Acres Golf Course

Brown Acres Golf Course is a distinguished municipal 18-hole championship layout designed by Gary Weller that opened in 1971 in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Conveniently located near Hamilton Place Mall just off I-75, this accessible course has become a favorite destination for both local golfers and tourists visiting the scenic Tennessee Valley region.

The 6,742-yard, par-72 course from the blue tees offers a challenging yet fair test of golf with wide open fairways that provide enough variety of terrain to challenge golfers of all skill levels. The layout features strategic water hazards on several key holes, including the opening hole, the challenging 15th, and the dramatic finishing 18th hole, creating memorable moments throughout the round.

Brown Acres' signature hole is the demanding 13th, a 449-yard par-4 that requires an uphill tee shot to a narrow fairway, testing both accuracy and course management skills. The course also features excellent variety in hole lengths, from the shortest hole at #14—a precise 115-yard par-3—to the longest at #5, a strategic 519-yard par-5 that rewards both power and precision.

As one of two public golf courses maintained by the City of Chattanooga, Brown Acres Golf Course prides itself on offering affordable, quality golf with excellent conditions. The course operates from 7:30 a.m. to sunset daily and provides exceptional value with special discounted rates for youth, teens, and seniors during weekdays, making golf accessible to the entire community.

The facility's commitment to golfer development extends beyond daily play with ladies' days, youth programs, and special group activities that enhance the overall golf experience. Course conditions are consistently maintained at a high standard, with reviews noting fair playing conditions year-round that complement the strategic design elements throughout the layout.

Located in Hamilton County with easy access from East Brainerd Road West off I-75, Brown Acres Golf Course serves as an ideal destination for both local rounds and golf tourism. The course's combination of Gary Weller's thoughtful design, municipal accessibility, and comprehensive amenities makes it a cornerstone of Chattanooga's public golf offerings and a must-play destination for golfers exploring Tennessee's diverse golf landscape.
