And there may be no better place than at the “Where the Valley Meets the Sky” Tournament, being hosted on some of the finest holes in golf—McLemore Club, the acclaimed golf club and community perched atop Lookout Mountain, and Sweetens Cove Golf Club, one of the South’s most renowned clubs.

Scheduled for September 2nd to 4th, 2023, the two-player, net best-ball event will feature two rounds of stroke play competition with the tournament field split evenly between McLemore’s Highlands Course and Sweetens Cove on Sept. 3-4.

Players of all skill levels are welcome to form their own teams that will compete in both a gross and net-score division. All participants must have a GHIN Handicap Index and register with their partner on the Tournament website here.

Along with the competition, participants will enjoy evenings of music, food, and drinks, with a kickoff party at Sweetens Cove to open the event on Saturday, and a post-round celebration at McLemore on Sunday. Following the conclusion of play on Monday, live scoring will be broadcasted at both venues, with an awards ceremony to celebrate the champions.

The entry fee for the inaugural “Where the Valley Meets the Sky” tournament is $900 per player and includes both rounds of golf plus access to McLemore’s short course, evening shuttle transportation between evening events, as well as all food and beverage costs beginning with the kickoff party on Saturday evening. The entry fee does not include travel or accommodation costs; however, on-site lodging at both McLemore and Sweetens Cove can be reserved exclusively for players who have registered for the tournament online on a first-come-first-served basis.

Located less than an hour from McLemore and Chattanooga in South Pittsburg, Tenn., Sweetens Cove is a layout that has no equal. The famed nine-hole layout existed as a municipal course, then was reborn after the King-Collins course design team reimagined it as an inland links course. Borrowing architectural inspiration from some of the game’s most stored layouts, King-Collins crafted Sweetens Cove for maximum enjoyment – wide fairways and big greens, with golfers choosing their own adventure in the way they play the course.
