Courses like Stonehenge and Bear Trace tend to grab the headlines, but Dorchester has a loyal following among players who know Fairfield Glade well. The combination of Bobby Greenwood design, tight tree-lined fairways, water in play on half a dozen holes, and a recently rebuilt clubhouse gives Dorchester a distinct identity. Groups that skip it often hear from friends who played it and wished they had too.

Yes. Dorchester offers a driving range, putting green, and individual lessons on site. Rental clubs are also available if anyone in your group is traveling without a full bag. That makes Dorchester a practical choice for the first or last round of a multi-day Tennessee mountain golf trip.

Yes. Dorchester suits foursomes and larger groups that appreciate a strategic layout and a polished clubhouse setting. Bertram specializes in group bookings and can build an itinerary that includes Dorchester alongside Bear Trace, Deer Creek, or other Crossville-area courses, with lodging sized for your group and tee times arranged in advance.

All four are Fairfield Glade championship courses, but each has a distinct personality. Stonehenge is the headline public ranking draw. Heatherhurst Brae and Crag offer two very different nine-hole experiences that pair into 18. Druid Hills is known as a true par-72 test. Dorchester stands out for its secluded, tree-lined layout, water on six holes, and newer clubhouse. Many Bertram groups rotate courses daily to sample the full Fairfield Glade lineup.

Daily green fees at Dorchester are set by the club and can change by season. For current walk-up pricing, contact the Dorchester pro shop at (931) 484-3709 or check Fairfield Glade’s Dorchester page. Through Bertram, Dorchester rounds are bundled into per-golfer package rates that include lodging, greens fees, carts paid in advance, and coordinated tee times, which is how most traveling groups book.

Yes. Bertram packages include play at the courses of your choice, with no course restrictions. Dorchester is a popular pick for groups staying at Country Club Villas or Premium Rentals who want a classic Fairfield Glade test with a newer clubhouse experience. Bertram handles pre-set tee times so your group is not calling the pro shop course by course.

Yes. Dorchester is only a few years removed from a newly built clubhouse that offers a comfortable, golfer-friendly base before and after your round. On site you’ll also find a driving range, putting green, cart rentals, club rentals, individual lessons, and a snack bar. It’s a full-service stop, not just a quick nine-and-go layout.

Dorchester is one of Fairfield Glade’s most scenic and secluded layouts. Tree-lined bentgrass fairways wind through rolling plateau terrain, with water featured on six holes and bunkers placed to force decisions off the tee. The setting feels quieter and more tucked away than some of the community’s more open courses, which is a big part of its appeal for repeat visitors.

Dorchester operates as a private club within Fairfield Glade, but play is available to Fairfield Glade guests and the general public with some restrictions. For out-of-town golfers, the simplest path is often a Bertram golf package, which bundles lodging, greens fees, and pre-set tee times at Dorchester and other area courses so access and scheduling are handled in one booking.

Dorchester was designed by Bobby Greenwood, a noted course architect with multiple layouts across the Cumberland Plateau. Greenwood’s design leans on the natural terrain at Fairfield Glade: tree-lined corridors, elevation changes, and greens that reward accurate approach shots. That pedigree helps explain why Dorchester still draws golfers decades after it opened.

Dorchester is not especially long by modern standards, but it plays tougher than the scorecard suggests. Narrow, tree-lined fairways, bentgrass greens, strategic bunkers, and water in play on six holes demand precision off the tee and smart course management. It’s a strong test for low handicaps and a rewarding challenge for mid-handicap groups who keep the ball in play.

Dorchester is inside Fairfield Glade, a resort community on the Cumberland Plateau between Nashville and Knoxville. The course address is 576 Westchester Drive, Fairfield Glade, TN. From Bertram’s Country Club Villas lodging, Dorchester is a short drive within the community, which makes it easy to pair with other Fairfield Glade tracks like Stonehenge, Heatherhurst Brae, or Heatherhurst Crag on the same trip.

Dorchester Golf Club is an 18-hole, par-72 course at Fairfield Glade Resort in Crossville, Tennessee. Opened in 1978 and designed by Bobby Greenwood, it sits in a secluded corner of the community with narrow, tree-lined bentgrass fairways that reward accurate tee shots. Dorchester is one of five championship courses at Fairfield Glade and remains a favorite for golfers who want a scenic, shot-making layout rather than a wide-open bomber’s course.
