Reece Thomas talks about work being done at Sequatchie Valley Golf and Country Club.SOUTH PITTSBURG, Tenn. – The old Sequatchie Valley Golf and Country Club property in South Pittsburg these days looks more like the moon than links to nine holes.
Reece Thomas and his family are rejuvenating the 60-year-old course along Sweetens Cove Road, aiming to reopen Marion County’s only golf course by summer with a redesigned layout and hilly topography topped off with new sand and water obstacles.
“We want to provide the Marion County area, and the larger area for that matter, with a quality golf course,” Reece Thomas said. “We’re trying to keep the costs [of membership] low but we’re trying to really keep the quality up.”
The course will get a new name before reopening, and by next summer he’ll know more about membership pricing, he said.
Golf fans might recognize a couple of the names associated with the project, he said.
