No thanks

Course has an easy layout so thought it be a decent course to practice some swing changes on. Course played as hoped, but the greens were so incredibly slow they were virtually unplayable. Ever watch videos of Snead or Palmer back in the 50’s or 60’s putting on greens that look as hairy as todays fairways? It was like that. You’d need to hinge your wrists on lag putts. And good luck reading the breaks with the ball bouncing around everywhere. These greens need a good cut and some legit rolling before they’re actually playable. I’m going to need a whole putting practice session on a real green to recalibrate after that nonsense. If that’s the norm, it’s not worth the drive from Nashville.

Thank you for playing Saddle Creek Golf Club and providing us with valuable feedback. We will always strive to do our best in the operations and maintenance of the course. We lowered the height of the mower to 0.130 Friday morning. We are having issues with Poa Annua and by the afternoon it has blossomed back out. We are taking more action with it Monday to reduce this issue. Would like for you come back and enjoy Saddle Creek Golf Club on us. Call the pro shop and we'll get this resolved.

Worth the drive south of Nashville

The pace of play is always great in this small town 1 hour south of Nashville, TN. It has a fun layout, several unique holes and is usually in great condition.

First time playing and will definitely be back. The 30 mph winds made it extremely difficult. Other than the slow foursome ahead, it was a good day.

Just a GEM!!!

Imagine a course that plays well if you hit your clubs like you should, greens that roll like they should, and a GROUNDS CREW that worked through the winter for you...there you have it...

Wish i could be able to play this course in season, it will be magnificent...your biggest challenge will be to not get too greedy with some shots...the fish will be waiting along the ponds and streams you will see add to the course and its challenges...could use better signage transitioning from hole to hole, but you will see a number of both dimes sized greens to larger greens...putts rolled on line...

If you see this and live within an hours drive, do so...nice to have a NON MAT driving range as well...

Like all courses, do pay close attention to the WEATHER MOHTER NATURE delivers before you play since it does have streams and ponds...

ENJOY!!!

A driver and 3 wood

AN ABSOLUTE MUST PLAY since it is part of the Blackberry Teail of courses inside of Tennessee

Driver and 3 woods…will be needed for spacious fairways and to fly over water hazards… the two “lost” balls were sent swimming due to not enough club

The work the Groundskeeper and his crew have done warrant a raise and bonus for the massive progress made to bring the course to its current level from what it was just three short years ago

Greens are dime sized and need precision chips… greens were soft enough to bring out divot tools for the greens… putts ran true and fast… even after the massive rains over the past weeks

For the summer play bring extra water and sunscreen since there is little shade likely

Nice range(grass) and putting areas and super welcoming staff

Definitely worthy of a trip and will be on to do list next time visiting family in Tn

Windy Day

Course is average. Needs improving from tee to green. Greens are not very good and many of the back tees are in bad shape. Course prices are much too high.
