About

Holes 18
Type Resort/Public
Style Links
Par 72
Length 6842 yards
Slope 133
Rating 73.1

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.

Great course!

Great course, well maintained, and beautiful scenery. Cart beverages were available on a week day which is a huge plus. The pace of play kept going off and you get a way better deal booking directly with them. The down side is it is hard to find the link to book a tee time directly on my phone and they do not do reservations over the phone. I think it’s the best course I have played in the area and I have played every day this week at a different course.

Awful customer service

I would rate this course so much higher if it wasn’t for the customer service in the pro shop. We were the second tee time and when we arrived you could see a lot of the sprinklers running on the fairways which seemed normal. When we paid nothing was said about the course conditions. When we were ready to tee off the starter says “by the way did they tell you in the pro shop it was cart path only?” We told him no and continued. Around hole number 8 a ranger came by and I told him how unhappy we were not being told about the no cart path rules before we paid and my buddy was having a hard walking due to him being a disabled Vet. He called the pro shop on his radio and nothing was said. He advised me it would be best to go into the pro shop when we made the turn. I believe I spoke with was either the pro or manager l believe named Jim suggested he instruct his staff to notify customers before they pay of the no cart path restrictions and told him about my buddy’s problem walking. His reply you should have told us before you started and I said well if you would’ve told us we definitely would’ve of told you and probably not played. He was very rude and gave no apologies. It’s ashamed because it’s a really nice course but we won’t be back.

Course in great shape. Fun layout. Be ready for 5 hour round

Course was in great shape. Great layout. Played 6655 tees. Receptive fairways. Nice size greens. Would definitely come back. Only downside is weekends members let you know it’s 5 hours. They don’t move people along.

Excellent

If you’re planning on staying at the Gaylord Opry hotel then go ahead and set a tee time at Gaylord Springs! The price is right and the course is in great condition. Links style course that is challenging enough for better players but also wide open for newer players or higher handicaps. There is a shuttle service that will pick you up and take you back to the hotel from the course. Definitely recommend playing this track!

Whats up with the overly cautious gps on the golf carts

With a heat index of 105, there are far too many holes that are cart path only. Additionally, you cannot take the cart within 75 yards of the green. Gaylord Springs Golf links needs to fix this to make the course more player friendly.

Warning to Out of Towners

This course is a good course to play. HOWEVER. It is not and never will be worth $130-$170. There’s 10 courses in the area that are just as good/better for half the price. Do not pay the outrageous prices for this course.

Great staff, course is usually in good shape, but it’s just not worth the money. They know they can charge it because the players from out of town will pay it. Don’t walk away from a round wondering why you just spent so much money.
