Golf in Clarksville, Tennessee and Fort Campbell
Don't blink, because if you do, you may miss one of the four major golf tournaments that Clarksville hosts every summer. With the City Amateur, Commanding General's Tournament, Mayor's Classic and the Wendy's Spring Open, golf in this city is well established, and the golf courses that frequently hold these tournaments continue to grow. Most of the city's PGA professionals still reside at their respective courses, and each course offers competitive rates for the public to enjoy.
Mason Rudolph
Mason Rudolph
Jeff Vaughn holds the distinction of being the only golf pro in the area to hold down two golf courses.
He's not only the pro at Mason Rudolph Golf Course but also at Swan Lake. Mason Rudolph offers inexpensive
rates for nine- and 18-hole play. During the week, nine-hole play is only $4 for military and seniors, students
and children age 6 to high school age. Regular rates are $7.50, with a $4.50 cart fee.
Eighteen-hole play is $8 for military, seniors and high school students and regular rates are $15 with a $9 cart fee. Mason Rudolph is at 1514 Golf Club Lane. For more information, call 645-7479.
