Nathville National Golf Links

The greens were totally unplayable, i have played hundreds of golf courses being on the Golf Digest top 100 raters and this is the worst conditioned golf course i have ever played, shouldn't be open at this time...greens are completely unplayable, beautiful property but the conditions totally ruin the experience...may want to consider closing for a year to get it in better condition to be at least playable

Short and Fun

Course was on the shorter side, but a ton of fun to play. The hilly layout plays over and around stream, rock out croppings and has many memorable holes.

Pace of play was quite slow for the first 9, but picked up on the back.

Hidden gem course that is very affordabl.

Worst I've ever seen it. Maybe worst I've ever seen.

I'm sure these owners are doing nearly the best they can and because of that, I hate to say anything negative. On the other hand, reviews are for the consumer and consumers should know that right now, the place is a small step above pasture. The greens have some sort of damage in most locations. The fairways and tee boxes are hit and miss. The rough ranges from hard pan to too tall. Some of the pin placements are ridiculous given the green conditions and the driving range is easily the worst I've ever seen. I wish the best for the owners to get it back to what it can be but right now they ought to be paying ppl to play it, rather than charging ppl to play it.

Decent shape

Greens were extremely slow but rolled decent. Practice green is awful. Staff was very friendly. Course was in decent shape for this time of year. We went off around 9am & pace of play was no issue at all. Always enjoy the course & the views, very short course.

Always a good time

Course was crowded but that is what you get with a good course on a December day when it is 68 degrees. I always enjoy playing at Nashville National.

Course that is on its way up

I like the direction this course is headed. It offers a different experience from a lot of golf in the Nashville area and has a number of elevation changes, blind shots, tight targets to hit and overall require a bit of strategy on a lot of the holes. I think this course has good "bones" and you will hit a number of different shots out here instead of just hitting driver/wedge into all the par 4s. The very small greens rolled fairly true and were above average speed. Also, I would note the course plays a fair bit shorter than the distance advertised (which is a good thing for most people) since a lot of the holes are downhill and/or the far back tee boxes don't see to be used often. The uphill #13 is a beast of a hole compared to the rest of the course. Pace of play was great as the course was not overly crowded. We only had to wait on one or two shots.

The cons I would note may or may not be significant depending on what you are looking for. Con #1 is most of the greens are tiny. They appear to have shrunken over time (particularly on hole #9 where it looks the green is less than 1/2 the size of what is originally was) and I would hope the new owners would endeavor to restore them to their original size. Con #2 is the bunkers are still under some construction, most notably the fairway bunker on 2 (which you can't see from the tee box). Con #3 is rather specific, you cannot put a pin location on the top shelf on the first par 3, which is hole #3. Literally an unpinnable location as this green slopes DRAMATICALLY from back to front. There are really only 2 pinnable locations and that is front center and front left. I saw a few other pins that were literally 3-4 paces on the green which is due to how small these greens are but really more care should be taken when setting the cups.

Nice course

Friendly staff, course in better shape than expected. Need to work on drainage in front of a few of the greens. Lost one ball totally buried in the mud in front of one of the par 3’s and a few of the others had to take relief because of poor drainage. Greens were in very nice shape. The course is short but a challenge. Very good experience here. Will be back.

Chilly foggy morning

Proshop was very friendly at check in. We went off at 730am, very cool and foggy start to the day at 51*. The pace was very good as we finished in under 4 hours and never really had to wait on the groups ahead. Very heavy rain the night before but still not cart path only which was nice. The course was wet but did not have standing water but balls needed to be lift clean and place almost every hole. The fairways were in nice shape and most of the tee boxes were as well. Greens were fantastic, very firm and quick yet responsive. First time playing since they added gps monitors to their carts which is always a nice bonus, we will be back!!!

Narrow

The course is narrow, but it is fun.

Plenty of grass in the fairway

Greens are fast, and in great shape.

Can't wait to play again!

Beautiful Course, Poor Conditions

Great course with a beautiful layout and out in the country. A shame that people chuck their beer cans in the woods 10ft from a trash can.

Firm greens, clean fairways, friendly staff.

Look forward to coming back next year.
