FAIRFIELD GLADE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Golf Association and Tennessee PGA Section are excited to announce a new partnership with Fairfield Glade as the new title sponsor for the Tennessee Women’s Open and Tennessee Senior State Open.
The partnership with Fairfield Glade will not only keep both tournaments at Stonehenge Golf Club but also elevate the events for competitors and spectators alike.
“Crossville has long been considered the Golf Capital of Tennessee and we want to thank the City of Crossville for their sponsorship for many years,” Fairfield Glade’s Director of Golf Jeff Houston said. “It was time for Fairfield Glade Community Club to take over the leadership of these great championships, enhance the player experience and continue our roles as the focal point of the Golf Capital of Tennessee. We look forward to the players challenging their skills against the Stonehenge Golf Course and crowning a deserving champion for this year and many years to come.”
The Tennessee Golf Association and Tennessee PGA Section are thrilled to welcome Fairfield Glade to bring new life to the Tennessee Women’s Open and Tennessee Senior State Open while also preserving some of the history of both events.
“Fairfield Glade was already a wonderful host since the Tennessee Women’s Open first came to Stonehenge Golf Club 16 years ago,” Allison Brown, executive director for the Tennessee Golf Association said. “To have them make this additional commitment to this event shows just how strong the community is here. We are proud to partner with the Fairfield Glade community that stands as a beacon of support and engagement in our endeavors.”

Their sponsorship not only elevates our tournament but also highlights the vibrant spirit and communal harmony that defines Fairfield Glade. We are immensely thankful for their partnership and look forward to continuing this journey together, making each swing a testament to our shared values and vision.”
