Tennessee Women’s and Senior State Opens continues partnership with Fairfield Glade in 2025

FAIRFIELD GLADE, Tenn. — It will be another year of memorable finishes on the iconic 18th hole at Stonehenge Golf Club as the Tennessee Golf Association and Tennessee PGA Section are excited to continue their agreement with the Fairfield Glade Community Club for the 2025 season.

Fairfield Glade will once again be the title sponsor for the Tennessee Women’s Open and the Tennessee Senior State Open, with Stonehenge Golf Club as the host course for both.

"It’s an honor to partner once again with the Tennessee Golf Association and Tennessee PGA Section this summer for the Tennessee Senior State Open and Women’s Open events that bring excitement to our community and the county," Bill Ward, General Manager/COO of the Fairfield Glade Community Club, said.

The Tennessee Senior State Open returns in June with another high-caliber field of some of Tennessee Golf’s Legends. The reason why the Senior State Open consistently draws such a strong field goes beyond the event, and the Tennessee PGA Section Executive Director Clayton Hromadka says it can be attributed to the Fairfield Glade community.

“We are deeply appreciative of the community of Fairfield Glade for their continued sponsorship and gracious hosting of the Senior State Open,” Hromadka said. “Their dedication to supporting the game of golf and providing a first-class venue reflects a genuine passion for the sport and its growth across the state.”

A little over a month later, the Tennessee Women’s Open will return to Stonehenge. A mix of some of the country's best young professionals and amateurs as one of the longest-running women’s open tournaments in the U.S. The unique atmosphere of the tournament continues to draw golfers in every year.

“After every final round, we consistently hear from players how the Tennessee Women’s Open is their favorite tournament of the year, and that is thanks to the Fairfield Glade community,” Tennessee Golf Association Executive Director Allison Brown said. “Having this partnership with Fairfield Glade just goes to show even more how much this event is embraced by the residents here, and we are incredibly thankful for that support year after year.”

In 2024, there were more volunteers and patrons between both events than in years past. This year, all three organizations look to continue growing those numbers to make the events the best in the country.

"We want to build on the success we had last year with increased volunteer support and more fans and look forward to partnering with the Tennessee PGA Section and the Tennessee Golf Association to make both events the highlight tournament for all players," Jeff Houston, Director of Golf at Fairfield Glade Community Club, said.
