The Courses New Nominees
As members nominate courses for addition to Hidden Fairways, I'll add them to this page. Think of this as the Hidden Fairways version of "Triple A" ball. I will make every effort to get to these courses as soon as possible, because my guess is that anyone going to the trouble of nominating a course has good reason to do so.
Hopefully, there will be no inordinate delays before I'm able to visit nominated courses. In the meantime, if you have personal knowledge of a course listed here, please

with your thoughts. I will post those opinions, and will schedule course visits as positive recommendations build.
NOMINATED COURSES
Course Name: Southern Hills Golf and Country Club
Hawkinsville, Georgia
Nominated by Mike McCollum, 10/4/2010
Course Attributes: Excellent Design, Superior Maintenance, Affordable. Home of NGA/Hooters Tour, ComSouth Classic
Course Name: Greystone Golf Club
Dickson, Tennessee
Nominated by Garrett Roberson, 12/3/2010
Course Attributes: Excellent Design, Superior Maintenance, Affordable. Greystone is a great golf course that is west of Nashville in Dickson. It has a challenging but fair layout. I'm not sure if it is "hidden" enough to be a Hidden Fairway course but it is one to look into especially if in the Nashville area.
Course Name: Ross Creek Landing Golf Club
Clifton, Tennessee
Nominated by Jay Wade, 11/22/2010
Course Attributes: Interesting story. Says Jay, " have not played here, but it is usually rated top in the state, and is in the middle of nowhere. Used to be a part of "The Bear Trace", Tennessee's attempt to copy the success of the RTJ Trail in Alabama. Politics trumped good sense, and they built them in districts of powerful state politicians instead of near cities. Two eventually failed and were sold off, including this one. Owner bought from state at auction and restored it to playing condition."
Course Name: Chickasaw Golf Course
Henderson, Tennessee
Nominated by Jay Wade, 11/22/2010
Course Attributes: The second of the failed "Bear Trace" courses in Tennessee, in Chickasaw State Park.
River Islands Golf Club
Kodak, Tennessee
Nominated by Eric McAmis, 1/1/2011
Course Attributes: Sadly, Eric didn't identify any specific course attributes when he recommended River Islands. Oh, darn! I guess I'll just have to go see for myself! :)
