Gaylord Springs Golf Links
Rating Snapshot
About
The Cumberland River gave birth to the Scottish links-style Gaylord Springs Golf Links, a par-72 golf course that provides 18 testing holes that border limestone bluffs and wetlands protected by the feds. The golf course, designed by the former U.S. Open and PGA Champion Larry Nelson, has collected several distinctions over its days.
The big draw on the Gaylord Springs Golf Links is the signature fourth hole, home to the hundred-plus-year-old springhouse that gives the golf course its name.
After a round on the Gaylord Springs Golf Links, head back to the 43,000-square-foot antebellum-style clubhouse to shop, dine, and take in the views of the golf course.

Rain
Be forewarned this course expects you to play in the rain. We had to drive two hours in the pouring rain, to not be charged a no show fee.
Don’t play on weekends
If there is a hot deal on the weekend DO NOT BOOK. It is usually part of an outing and you will be in a shotgun start. This was not communicated before hand. If a weekend deal seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Great, as always
Undoubtedly one of the nicest Public tracks in Nashville. Greens are always firm, fast, clean and true. Pace is always pretty good, the course is never truly backed up. Always worth the time and money.
Rolling Gem
Course is in incredible condition! Greens are receptive to good iron shots but roll pure and quick! Course is not incredibly long from the Gold tees(5-10hcp) but not very many flat lies out there! Water and sand play a part on many holes so a precisely planned and executed tee shot are essential!!
Nice track
Even though we had carts, it was cart path only.so a lot of walking!
Wonderful retreat!
Beautifully maintained golf course. I played with my 22 year old daughter and the variety of tees was appreciated and definitely lifter her experience. Really nice Proshop with lots to choose from.
Great Course for the Price!
First time playing Gaylord Springs Links. We really enjoyed it. The course layout was fantastic. The course was in great condition, the greens were very good. The tee boxes were a little weird, but not a big issue in the end!
First time here. I’ll be back.
Cool layout. Several of the holes were scenic and photograph worthy. Greens wonderful. Staff pleasant. Pace of play was a tad on slower side. Price was a good value for the quality of course. I’ll be back.
The best staff
The staff was great from bag check to bar tender. The course was in great shape. The greens were in nice shape. Did not have one negative playing this course.
A Gem
This is a beautifully designed and maintained links style course in Nashville. I had heard about it for years and finally had a chance to play today. Very impressed. Great experience.
First Class from Top to Bottom
Staff was super helpful and friendly. Course was perfect. Pace of play was a little slow this morning, but other than that it was a perfect golf experience.
loved it
I was paired up with a 2 some, a nice father and son tandem who regularly play the course, and they gave me some insight into the course. That was helpful as a first timer. Bottom line, it's beautiful, it's in great shape, it's fun, there's nothing negative I can say about it. You'd think by the price that you might be playing an average, ordinary course. You'd be wrong.
Awesome
I didn’t know what to expect. Back north where I live, a course this price would’ve been average at best. So I wasn’t expecting much. But holy cow, the course is absolutely gorgeous and in wonderful shape. Your short game is a premium on this course. You can spray your Tee shots almost anywhere and get away with it because of the wide-open layout, but elevated greens with deep swallows to the sides require a good touch in close. Unquestionably worth the price, a pleasure to play.
