Milligan College

Nice 9 hole layout with 3 holes over 300' (Hole 2 is listed as a Par 4). Hole 3 is on the sign at 249' but is actually 320' or so. Holes 2 and 3 feel like you are on a ball golf course by their appearance. Some short ace runs (1, 4, 5). 6 is a challenging blind downhill dogleg left. 7 is listed as 315' and is a bit downhill but I feel it is longer. 9 is a picturesque steep downhill 290' that requires an accurate shot or you end up in the woods on the right or down the slope to your left and down ...

If the course had real tee pads of some sort, this would be an A course for the variety and visual appeal. Some poison ivy on holes 6 and 9 if you miss the fairway. The walk back from 9 to 1 is also a bit long, but it looks like there is room to add more holes to make it more of a circuit. Park at the back of the Milligan Village housing, then the 1st Tee is in the lawn of the housing behind the retaining wall, From 9 walk through the Field House parking lot and take your first left and walk back up the hill to the parking area you started from.

Milligan College DGC is a short but fun little 9 Hole course that can be found in the hills of East Tennessee. Obviously located on the Milligan College campus, this course has some beautiful elevation changes which make this course stick out as one of my favorite college campus courses. This course has natural tee areas, which aren't my favorite, but that small con is combated with two huge pros with Orange DisCatchers (which I had never seen before playing this course) and nice tee signs.

Milligan College DGC is a short but fun little 9 Hole course that can be found in the hills of East Tennessee. Obviously located on the Milligan College campus, this course has some beautiful elevation changes which make this course stick out as one of my favorite college campus courses. This course has natural tee areas, which aren't my favorite, but that small con is combated with two huge pros with Orange DisCatchers (which I had never seen before playing this course) and nice tee signs. It can be a little tricky to find this course on the campus if you have never been there before, so make sure you go there with someone who has played it before. As far as play of the course, don't expect to see a big tournament or weekly event here, but you will definitely have fun playing this one. Some short little ace run holes as well as several long holes that you can really open up on. Finishing with the beautiful downhill tunnel shot in Hole 9, this course will leave you wanting more! Don't travel out of your way to get here but if you are near the area, it is definitely worth a stop for you bucket list! If you want to see this course on video, check out my crew playing the course in the video below...
