Egwani Farms Golf Course: On the Little River with views of the big Smokies
Egwani Farms Golf Course in Rockford, Tenn. is just a tad outside of oh-wow viewing range of the Great Smoky Mountains. Bubba Watson might be able to hit the Smokies off the tee here, but since they're not really in reach for mortals, you don't have those jaw-dropping, mountain vistas you might get elsewhere in east Tennessee, a wee closer to the southern Appalachian range. Still, the course has its own charms.

If you're looking for a challenging, out-of-the-way, and inexpensive course--and really, who isn't?--you need to go the extra mile and play Henry Horton State Park Golf Course. Having just played four rounds over two days on this 7,060-yard course (6,604 from the white tees), I can unequivocally say that the course is in immaculate condition from tees to greens, and, contrary to the sentiments expressed by some golfers on another well-read web site, the staff is very courteous and accommodating.
