PITTSBURG, Tenn., June 20,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Sweetens Cove Golf Club and
Sweetens Cove Spirits Company are hitting the road this summer

Dreamed up by Sweetens Cove Golf's venerated general manager and
toastmaster, Matt Adamski, the tour

Whiskey Collection, including historically sold-out releases.

"This summer while we are closed for re-grassing portions of the
golf course, we are excited to bring the magic of Sweetens Cove on
the road," says course designer, architect, and co-owner
Rob Collins, who opened Sweetens
Cove Golf Club in 2014.
Known as one of the toughest tee times to secure in public golf,
Sweetens Cove typically sells out of passes for the year not long
after they become available. A longstanding tradition at the course
is to take a shot of bourbon on the first tee which inspired the
ownership team, including celebrities such as Peyton Manning and Andy
Roddick, to found Sweetens Cove Spirits Company and launch
an award-winning bourbon in 2020.
According to Adamski, Sweetens Cove has welcomed thousands of
golfers from around the world and has become a place of pilgrimage,
fun and friendship.
"We're going to do a one-day takeover at these courses and run
them like we run Sweetens Cove—that means unlimited loops to
multiple pins, event swag, food, bourbon and a very memorable
experience," says Adamski.
About Sweetens Cove Golf Club and Sweetens Cove Spirits
Company
The New York
Times has called Sweetens Cove, a 9-hole, public
golf course located between Nashville and Chattanooga, Tennessee "The Little Course That
Could," for its heart-warming story and world-class
architecture. GolfWeek Magazine's Modern
100 List has placed it as America's highest-rated 9-hole loop and
one of the Top 50 in the nation, ranking higher than six courses
that have hosted a U.S Open. It has been described as "Field of
Dreams Meets Tin Cup," for its cult-like following, summer
camp-like vibe, and breath-taking design and
environment. In 2019, the course was acquired by a group
of friends, including Peyton
Manning, Andy Roddick,
Skip Bronson, Tom Nolan, and Drew
Holcomb (along with original creator Rob Collins). Other owners include Eli Manning, Cooper
Manning and Jim Nantz. In
2020, the same group debuted the acclaimed Sweetens Cove Tennessee
Bourbon, created by Master Distiller Marianne Eaves, in a limited
edition, inspired by a ritual at the golf course where first-time
visitors take a celebratory shot of whiskey at the first tee. The
second limited-edition ultra-premium release followed in 2021,
followed up with a core offering of Kennessee, a unique blend of
Kentucky and Tennessee whiskies, that recently earned
double gold at the SF Wine and Spirits awards and gold at the NY
International Spirits Competition.
