Yes. Heatherhurst offers a driving range, putting green, cart rentals, club rentals, individual lessons, and a snack bar on site. That makes the Brae a practical choice for the opening round of a trip or a warm-up before tackling the Crag the same afternoon.
Yes. The Brae is built for memorable group rounds: a signature par 5 on each nine, strong scenery, and the option to add the Crag for a second 18 on the same property. Bertram specializes in group bookings and can schedule Brae tee times alongside lodging at Country Club Villas or Premium Rentals, plus rounds at other Crossville-area courses.
Stonehenge is Fairfield Glade’s nationally recognized headline course. Bear Trace is a Jack Nicklaus design at Cumberland Mountain State Park just south of the community. Heatherhurst Brae holds its own with GolfWeek top-five public recognition, Zoysia fairways, and two of the area’s most talked-about holes at #4 and #10. Many Bertram groups rotate all three during a trip to sample the best of Fairfield Glade and Crossville.

Yes. Bertram packages include play at the courses of your choice, with no course restrictions. Heatherhurst Brae is one of the most requested rounds in the entire Bertram lineup because of its rankings and signature holes. Bertram handles pre-set tee times so your group is not calling the pro shop to coordinate schedules on your own.
Yes. Heatherhurst Golf Club offers 36 holes across the Brae and Crag courses, and many groups plan a full day with lunch between rounds. That makes Heatherhurst a popular anchor for multi-round Crossville golf packages, especially for groups who want two very different 18-hole experiences without driving across town between tee times.
The Brae is the only course in the Fairfield Glade area with Zoysia grass fairways, which many golfers prefer during the hottest summer months. It also sits within a 36-hole complex at Heatherhurst Golf Club, so your group can play the Brae, the Crag, or both without leaving the property. That combination of turf, rankings, and dual-course access sets it apart from Stonehenge, Druid Hills, and Dorchester.
The front nine carries most of the difficulty, led by the demanding 4th hole. Overall, the Brae rewards accurate driving and smart approach shots rather than pure power. It is widely considered a top-five public course in Tennessee by GolfWeek, which tells you this is a serious layout that still remains playable and enjoyable for a wide range of handicaps when you manage the course well.
Hole #10 is the Brae’s back-nine standout: a par 5 that plays downhill toward a green overlooking Lake Dartmoor. From the fairway, the view is one of the best in the Fairfield Glade area. The back nine also features a balanced mix of three par 3s, three par 4s, and three par 5s, with undulating fairways and bunkers that keep every hole interesting.
Hole #4 on the Brae is a par 5 with a double dogleg fairway and two forced carries over Otter Creek. Many golfers and local writers consider it one of the toughest par 5 holes in Tennessee. The hole combines genuine scoring danger with scenic beauty, including Otter Creek and a covered bridge, and it is the round golfers talk about long after the trip ends.
Heatherhurst Brae is at 421 Stonehenge Drive, Fairfield Glade, TN, inside the gated Fairfield Glade community on the Cumberland Plateau between Nashville and Knoxville. From Bertram’s Country Club Villas lodging, Heatherhurst is a short drive within the resort, which makes it easy to pair with Stonehenge, Druid Hills, or Dorchester on the same trip.
Heatherhurst Golf Club has two distinct 18-hole courses: the Brae and the Crag. The Brae is the more celebrated layout, with a tougher front nine and signature holes at #4 and #10.
