Since 1986, the Hermitage Golf Course has established itself as the best in Tennessee public golf. With two 18-hole champion-level courses, golfers of all capabilities thoroughly enjoy the scenery and hospitality Hermitage has to offer. Roaming both courses are the renowned Scottish Blackfaced sheep that joined the course in 2012. What started with 12 ewes and 1 ram have now grown to more than 45. Overlooking the property sits eight luxury cottages where guests can stay and play, putt on a private green, and hang out by the fireplace. Hermitage also offers a full events operation for corporate outings, weddings and social celebrations. Just past the 18th green is the Hickory Sticks Grill. Run by an outstanding team of chefs and bartenders, everything from traditional bar items to seared salmon and steak is served.
