Gunter’s Landing is named after John Gunter, a white settler who located salt deposits on the southernmost bend of the Tennessee River and began to trade with the nearby Cherokee tribe. He married a Cherokee woman and they opened a store called Gunter’s Landing which led to the local town adopting this name in 1784.
Feature holes include the two par threes on the front nine, with water coming into play on both the 193-yard 3rd and the 168-yard 5th. On the back nine, the 352-yard 17th appears rather benign because of a stroke index rating of 17 but this hole doglegs markedly towards the green, making it a lot more difficult than the score card might suggest.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
