| Golfing around Fall Creek Falls is exceptional when you visit The Reserve at Collins River. Panoramic vistas of the mountain ranges framed by the tranquil serenity of the Collins River; golfing on the natural contours of the land makes this one of the most picturesque and best kept secrets on the Cumberland Plateau. Warren County, known to many gardeners as the “Nursery Capital of the World”, has earned its claim to fame by the enormous variety of luscious plants, trees, perennials, and annuals that are grown by hundreds of family nurseries that respect the land. These nursery professionals have taken what God has given them to produce a bountiful harvest to beautify homes, lands and gardens across the county. Dwight and Hannah O’Neal saw what God had created for them and used it for fifteen plus years as their family nursery business while sending their children through school. However, Dwight knew all along that this precious land would make a sensational golf course. He decided it was time to follow his vision and created a wonderful golf course for enjoyment and relaxation. Today, the Reserve at Collins River is a links type course, where very little dirt was moved. Jerry Lemons, a golf course developer, was brought in to assist Dwight in crafting his dream. Though worthy of club status, the course is open to the public and offers the warm southern hospitality that is so common in the area. The bent grass greens are maturing well, with the fairways of 419 Bermuda coming along nicely. The roughs are a hybrid Bermuda. The mild climate is perfect for a variety of grasses – warm and cool season. Son, Chris maintains the golf course and enjoys giving the golfers an exceptional experience. He loves being outside caring for the grounds. A driving range and practice green are available for golfers to practice their skills before an enjoyable game of golf. Many of the holes are along the picturesque Collins River and the view of the Harrison Ferry mountain range is spectacular, especially in the fall when the colors of the fall foliage can take your breath away. The clubhouse is a popular place after a round of golf or if you are just coming to have a bite to eat amidst the fabulous scenery. Truly a family business, Dwight and Hannah’s other son, Joe, is a magnificent chef and shows off his signature BBQ at the clubhouse and at the McMinnville farmers’ market. He offers pulled pork sandwiches, smoked wings, whole chickens, barbecue ribs, brisket and occasionally - Boston butt. Visiting the clubhouse one beautiful fall day, my family and I got to take pleasure in the aromas of over 75 Boston Butts going around Joe’s special hickory cooker in preparation for a special catering event. The O’Neals are wonderful people and would like to invite you to stop by and experience their little piece of “heaven” called The Reserve at Collins River. Come see what southern hospitality is really all about. You can visit them on the web at www.CollinsRiver.com or give them a call at 931-668-7749. |
