Montgomery Bell State Park Golf Course

I have never been more disappointed in a course than here. The management is horrible. The starter was yelling at people and then got times mixed up. Let a 3-some go out and then a single with people waiting to go. Why would you ever do that? Not to mention when questioning the start why someone jumped in front of me when I was standing there to tee off, i was told they are regulars. WOW, so they get more privileges even though we all pay the same. Then when leaving the start continues to yell at me from questioning him. Went inside the club house to speak with a manager and then just said how he is and that he is a volunteer. Well, I won't be going back to get harrassed again.

Let me start by saying, I know it’s early in the year. No one is blaming the course for muddy, grassless patches, or bumpy patchy tee boxes. But what is up with the greens? I used to LOVE the greens here. The state parks have been known for having some of the best greens in all of middle Tennessee, so it was a big surprise to find these greens completely ruined with crabgrass. There isn’t a true putt on the course. It’s literal bumper pool out there. Never mind the inch thick clumps of sand all over the greens that you have to brush away to give yourself a line to the hole. What actual green that is there is as smooth as ever. But that crabgrass is a PROBLEM. It’s unplayable, to be honest. I can’t come back until it’s addressed. It’s not worth it.

Excellent, we’ll-maintained course with appropriate levels of difficulty. If it were closer to Nashville I’d play all the time. Which I understand is part of what makes the course what it is - heavily treed and off the beaten path.

This course and park is 5 minutes out my back door always a go too. Tee boxes need work, fairways are great hard and fast greens might be the fastest around town.

Green putting green and driving range

Course overall in good condtion, but greens have just recently been punched.

The course was dry, some tee boxes were vey patchy for grass. The greens had just been aerated otherwise they’d receive 5 stars. Hats off to management for discounting the rates to compensate

I only played the front nine as nine holes seems to suit me these days especially in the heat. Even with rather crowded conditions the pace was fine. The greens were good along with fairways and bunkers. The only mild complaint is that the tee boxes were hard and not enough grass. Hopefully the rain this week will help. I’ll definitely be back

Walkable

Fast greens

Very little water

Well worth the 30 minute drive from Nashville

Pretty location

I only played the front nine that day. I started alone and there were two in front of me who weren’t really playing slow but were hitting balls all over creation. I waited for a twosome behind me to catch up, joined them and all was well. The course was in great shape as usual. Greens were soft but fast. Great time and even though I live almost an hour away now, I’ll definitely be back

Tree lined fairways on every hole. Greens were perfect with lots of speed. Good for all skill levels. Short from the white tees. Will play the blues next time

Good value for money. Greens great . Pace of play should be quicker.
