GreyStone Golf Club

a great course was in excellent shape if you are anywhere near this course you must stop and play it had the fastest greens I putted on

This is one of those courses that causes me to really question lists of course rankings. When I walked off the 18th green I had to laugh at what I had discovered in the days leading up to this round. Top 100 public lists are hard to crack, and in my opinion once you get past the top 60, the bottom 40 are pretty interchangeable. Yet, for GreyStone not to show up in GD, GM or GW's "Best in State" rankings or "top places you can play in each state," lists, is a head-scratcher.

GreyStone is a formidable golf course and a lot of fun to play. The shot and scenic value for me at points on this course were off the charts. There is a balance between holes that ascend and descend steep elevation changes, and flatter holes that rest in a valley near a rock quarry.

There is no easing into the round here. In fact, it may be my favorite opening hole I've ever played. The tee shot is framed by hardwoods and your target is blind, resting over a large sloping edge of the fairway, which reminded me of a dragon's tail. The yawning fairway resembles a ski slope and drops dramatically to the green. The saddle-like effect also keeps balls funneling toward the middle of the fairway, but miss it off either edge and good luck saving par.

Zoysia fairways provide for excellent lies and were among the best fairways I've played in recent memory. Two-thirds of the course is pretty open, but there is some thick stuff if you get too off line that will swallow up balls.

The bentgrass greens were very good and deceptively quick past the hole.

I loved the closely-mown areas around the green that made chipping exact. The large scallop-shaped bunkers were very consistent.

The par 3s on the front were rather pedestrian, but the two on the back are stellar - as good as you'll find.

True to the namesake of the course, rock outcroppings are prevalent throughout. The stone walls on several holes, particularly No. 10, were beautiful. The intermittent outcropping on the par-5 12th added an awesome element to the hole. It was like playing through a mine field.

There are several short, straightforward par 4s scattered throughout, so take advantage of these to score well, then soak in the uniqueness of holes like Nos. 1, 5, 9, 10, 12 17 and 18. In fact, 16, 17, 18 provide a tremendous closing stretch.

This is a highly underrated track that you can get awesome hot deals thru Golfnow on. If in the Nashville area, it is a must-play.

Tip: in lieu of a traditional yardage guide, be sure and grab a yardage card from the pro shop. It is very helpful in seeing the layout of holes and does provide yardages to hazards, etc.

Spent a few enjoyable hours on one of the best courses around Nashville on a GolfNow "Hot deal" so the $ was excellent. Course was in good condition except for greens. We followed District high school playoffs and greens were not in best shape. Coaches need to teach their players how to fix their pitch marks on the green. Knock on layout is #1 as it's a blind tee shot and can get backed up & slow as it is cart path only. 18 is hard finishing hole. I love tee shot on 10 and think flipping 9's would be interesting because 9 would be a great gambling hole to wrap up round.

great course, bad weather. definitely will play again.

One the best courses in the state. Even ranked by golf digest. This course offers a pretty stiff test from the tips. Very gettable if you keep the ball in play but penalizing if you can't control your shot. Overall it's a really nice course and a beautiful, scenic course. Would definitely be worth playing.

Course was in great condition. Greens and fairways were well kept and the pace of play was excellent.

My favorite course in the area. Everything is in great shape. Not crazy about the greens. Just enough sand sometimes that prevents the ball from checking a bit and it seems like no one wants to fix their darn ball marks. I fixed 5 or 6 every single hole just to try and help. Staff does a great job here and the course is in beautiful shape, but we need to do our part as well. Keep up the awesome work Greystone, I'm planning on becoming a member next year. Cheers!

I'm just gonna tell you all that this course is currently in stellar shape, the layout is great, and I got to witness a solar eclipse during the round. How can you beat that on a "hot deal" on golf now?!?? Can't.

The very best course. Hands down really no questions asked. I mean the course is always in the very best shape anywhere in TN but what separates them from any other course is the staff. Greatest staff for a golf course I've ever played. I've played proli about 100 different courses throughout the U.S. My 1st choice when left up to me where to play and btw I live an hour and 10 mins away. Great job Greystone as always.

GreyStone Golf Club in Dickson, TN is worth the short drive from Nashville, TN if you're looking for a first class golf experience that won't break the bank. Hats off to Charlie Blunt and the rest of the crew at GreyStone Golf Club for an excellent golf experience. For a beginner, this is a very challenging course, but the conditions and staff friendliness made it a very enjoyable experience. The course is in outstanding shape right now and the layout and design elements are top notch. Only complaint was that the grass on the tee boxes was pretty high which made tee shots a bit more challenging than normal. Great driving range and practice area. If you live within an hour of GreyStone Golf Club you should definitely play it!

First time out at Grey Stone this year, it was definitely worth the hour and a 1/2 round trip drive. If I lived closer, it would be my go to course! Jim is great!

Probably the best course I've played all around. Difficulty wise it was equal to a couple courses I've played, but the Beautiful rolling hills, sand traps, large rocks and water hazard on 17 made it special. I will return for sure!

Was out on a Saturday morning, men's club was going slow and yet refused to allow people to play through. One of the players began using profanity towards myself and my son and was yelling back at us several times. I will not be returning to this course and I will be advising people to stay away as the men's club seems to run the place. Ownership needs to re-evaluate if the men's club is that important to them or if they would like to succeed with other patrons. Last owner lost the course due to lack of players. Maybe this is why.

Stopped here on a drive from DC to Memphis. Not too far north of I-40 I found this place. Pretty impressed at the quality and value here.

The outstanding feature of this course is the layout, especially the holes clustered in a valley below the clubhouse - #9, #10, #11, #17 and #18. #9 and #17 are strong par-5's with daunting tee shots and approaches. #11 is a pretty peninsula par-3. The dogleg #10 features a severely downhill tee shot - plenty of landing room, but you have to figure out how far you're going to hit it to find your proper aiming point. And #18 is a beautiful and challenging finishing hole, with a (dry, at the time I played it) creek bed along the right edge of the fairway ready to swallow a wayward drive (which I barely avoided).

In addition to a terrific layout, the greens are top notch, firm and fast. Fairways and tee boxes in good shape. A few places in the rough had some dead patches from cart traffic - maybe some better traffic management would help there.

Tee shot on #1 and second shot on par-5 #11 are totally blind, you really need to drive up and do some scouting (and make sure it's safe to hit).

Grass driving range is a plus (but it was a little shaggy), nice big chipping green to practice on.

Overall the experience was a memorable one. Very glad I stopped off here.
