Need a new starter

I’ve played this course 15 times but will never again because the starter ruined the whole experience for an other wise solid course. I came up to the starter at 6:50 for my 7am tee time (checked in at the pro shop at 6:45) and he was incredibly rude.

He told me “Well I’m showing past 7 so your group is already almost done with hole 1”. After showing him 6:50 on my phone and his phone, I asked him if I should go ahead and tee off and he looked at me and said “no you should not have missed your tee time, it’s not my problem…”

I had to skip hole 1 to catch the group I was supposed to play with (who were incredibly kind and also very perplexed at the whole situation). Needless to say, I won’t be coming here anymore as long as that starter is there.

Guest in Town

I hosted a friend who was in town to a round of golf. We were able to play 18 holes in three hours and 15 minutes. The course was in great shape and the staff could not have been friendlier. Overall we had an outstanding time.

Very Poor Conditions

I don't like to knock on State Park golf courses but this course has been very nice in the past. Not totally faulting the maintenance leaders as it has been very dry. But this course would be better suited shut down for a couple of months and let some mother nature do some healing. BARE are the tee boxes, very poor fairways and rock around all edges of fairway.

Greens were OK, good for them.

It is not worth paying any amount of money to play here right now.

This is a beautiful course

It was a busy day with a lot of players on the course. The extremely dry weather left the course very rigid. The greens were fast but in pretty good shape.

Best Value in Nashville Area

This golf course, for the money is the best value in the Greater Nashville area. It is subsidized by the County, so, this savings translates to the golfer. Fairway to green, you are playing a private country club level course. Very wide and open, greens are great... beautiful scenic golf course located in a large park.

Rough

I was very disappointed in the overall condition of the course. Other than the greens, the place is a mess. I think we counted one tee box with grass on it.

Pretty rough shape..3hrs for 9 holes

Staff is nice. About the only thing I can say about it. Drove from Nashville (45min)out to this course in the country. Once I saw the driving range. I knew we were in trouble. After the first hole we waited about 5-10 minutes per hole...alot of doubles and singles playing. After nine holes and seeing that there were 3 groups waiting to take the turn, decided it wasn't even worth getting a rain check. Will never be back..
