About

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.

A must play in the Nashville, TN area

This is one of the best courses in Tennessee. You must play this course if in the Nashville area. A links type course with lots of risk/reward holes where you can make birdies but be careful a miss on the wrong side or going above the could lead to bogeys or worse. Most of all don't forget to enjoy the round and the beautiful course.

Awesome

A true pleasure to play this beautiful course. It is links style, so it has a tricky layout, but it is fun. The scenery is beautiful and the staff and grounds crew were very friendly. I’d highly recommend Gaylord Springs!!

Amazing

This course is one of the best in the area. Wide open fairways and a great layout. A few holes had newer sod around the green but it was easy to miss. Definitely worth the money and worth the drive. Will recommend to anyone and will play again.

Great course, a must play if in Nashville

Course was doing some upgrades to the course so a couple of holes were closed. Even with that the course was in excellent condition and very playable. Can be a very tough course from the back tees especially if it is wet. Plays over 7000 yards and you do not get that much role when wet. So it plays more like 7500/7600 when wet from the back tee. Course is open for the most part and has several risk/ reward holes. I think it is a very fun course to play for anyone due to the several tee options.

Disappointed

Have played this course several times and it is always in great condition. today was very disappointing as they had 3 holes closed and no notification when the tee time was purchased! Round should have been discounted deeper than it was!

First Time, Won't be my last! Fast Greens

First impressions driving down the hill is wonderful. First time playing a links style course. Practice area is awesome, carts are very nice, layout is a little tight but only had 2 close call. There is a lot of maintenance work going on throughout many areas of the course. Really look forward to seeing the course later in the year. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Windy day but a great day!

Tell us what we're getting

Very disappointed.... Drove 180 miles one way to play with a friend at a nice place only to find 2 holes closed and they should have closed the others as well. First... who plays 16 holes? Second, how is golf hard when EVERY hole (I think) has multiple huge areas that have been re-sodded and you're told to move the ball you hit into the junk into drop zones in the fairway and most of the time closer to the hole or the fringe of the green. Tell us before we pay what conditions we are going to be playing in.... and don't feel justified by saying you reduced the green fee by 2/18'ths.... Greens were great.... and I'm sure the course will look and be outstanding once everything is finished and grown in....... but in the meantime :(

Gaylord

Loved the layout of the course. Only 16 of 18 holes were open due to bunker repairs. Very nice facility. Greens are in great shape and are like ice.

Amazing Greens, , Good test of golf, Errors of Omission

I really enjoyed this course. A good blend of challenge and fairness. Maybe it was timing but the fairways were soaking wet. I got tired of cleaning mud off my ball and getting no roll on my drives. The greens were perhaps the smoothest I have ever played. They had two holes closed and a par four changed to a par three with a temporary green but no mention of it when we paid our greens fees.

A tale of two experiences

First I have to say I love this course. Third time playing it over the last two years. Last year we played it as part of my future son-in-law's bachelor day and had a great time. My brother is a 5 handicap and plays all the best courses in the U.S. and even Scotland. He said if he lived in Nashville Gaylord Springs would be his home course he liked it so much. So I was excited to play it today.

Heavy rains the previous 3 days made the course a bit soggy and cart path only for carts. No worries, I get it. The disappointing part of the round is that there is some major construction going on. Two holes on the back nine are closed and one other is being played with a temporary hole (which I despise), so could only play 15 holes. The web site and pro shop were both very forthcoming about this which I appreciated very much.

All that said, the course is in very nice shape, the greens roll very true and pretty fast, despite the rains. I played the blue tees and they are fair but challenging. Rough is forgiving, though when you miss the fairway the links style hills can make finding your ball a challenge. The only balls I lost were in lakes due to errant shots on my part!

Pro shop staff and the starter are very friendly and helpful. The Grill is excellent and service very fast and friendly, despite COVID limitations.

I still love this course and will definitely be back, but not until they finish the construction.
