Belle Acres Golf Course

Detailed description of Belle Acres Golf Course

Belle Acres Golf Course is a Public 9 hole golf course located in Cookeville, Tennessee.

Belle Acres Golf Course opened on May 1, 1930. Built by Dr. J.P. Terry with the help of Arnold Mears, a pro at Richland Golf Course in Nashville, Belle Acres had only 7 holes originally, and sand greens. Two more holes were added about a year later and the greens were eventually converted to cotton-seed hulls. A later conversion to Bermuda was troubled by crabgrass prompting a change to today’s bent grass greens.

Par for the course is 36. From the back tees the course plays to 2,934 yards. From the forward tees the course measures 2,290 yards. The longest hole on the course is # 5, a par-5 that plays to 450 yards. The shortest hole on the course is # 2, a par-3 that plays to 173 yards from the back tees. The signature hole at Belle Acres Golf Course sharp dogleg right, short par 5, 7th hole offers a chance at eagle with a precise drive and a deft putting stroke on the extremely sloping green.
