Stonehenge Golf Course gets its name from walls of native stone found throughout the 6549 yard, par 72 layouts. Natural rock outcroppings come into play on several holes, with a 15 foot layered stone retaining wall running along the left and rear of the signature downhill par 3, 14th hole.

The course is proud to feature bent grass tees, greens and fairways and hosts the Tennessee Senior State Open, Tennessee Golf Association Father-Son Championship and The Golf Capital of Tennessee Women's Open. The Brae Course at Heatherhurst, named for the Scottish term for a hillside by a body of water is a 6,499 yard par 72 layout designed by Gary Roger Baird. The front 9 provides the most challenge, including the fourth hole which requires two forced carries over Otter Creek to a green perched on top of a beautiful stacked stone wall. The back 9 is unique in that it has three par 3's, three par 4's and three par 5's. The par 5 10th hole is the signature hole playing 562 yards downhill to the green positioned at the edge of beautiful La
ke Dartmoor. The Brae is the only course in the area to feature Zoysia fairways that provide unmatched fairway conditions.
