[Music] jungle so you've made the move here to 
Tennessee or you're planning a trip down and   you want to know about the best golf courses that 
Tennessee has to offer well that is great because   today we are going to talk about the top three 
golf courses here in the state of Tennessee so   for the non-golfers out there you probably need 
to know a little bit about Golf Course rankings   so Golf Course rankings are typically published 
each year by popular golf magazines and websites   with the oldest being Golf Digest banial rankings 
of the greatest golf courses in America this list   is voted on by a group of golf course experts and 
has been published since 1965 but how do the Golf   Digest experts determine the golf course rankings 
well the score is actually a combination of   factors and those factors are shot values meaning 
does the course offer a variety of different shots   next we have resistance to scoring and that's 
going to mean how well does the golf course   test a professional golfer next is design variety 
meaning is there a variety of dog legs distance   and Hazards after that we have memorability 
meaning does the course create a memorable   experience next is going to be Aesthetics 
pretty simply put how memorable or how Scenic   is the course then we have conditioning so are the 
fairways tea boxes and greens in great condition   finally we have our last metric and that is going 
to be Ambiance meaning can you send the traditions   of the game of golf while you're on the course 
all of this is combined and the final scores   are the average of these seven criteria with the 
shot value score being doubled so now that you've   got a little bit of insight on how our courses 
are ranked let's dive into the top three golf   courses here in Tennessee number one on our list 
is going to be the honors course in ulaa Tennessee   for those unfamiliar udawa is just a small City 
Northeast of Chattanooga Tennessee the land that   would become the honors course was purchased back 
in 1981 and construction of the worldclass golf   course began on July 23rd 1981 just two short 
years later on July 2nd 1983 the honors course   officially opened and immediately took its place 
among the great golf courses of the world and over   the years has played host to the top an amateur 
tournament golfers in the country the course   is described as being radical in its early days 
because of its Acres of tall native grass rough   durable Fairways and terrifying greens perch
