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.

Slow!!!

As of receiving this email to write a review we are still on the course. A ranger to keep pace of play would go along way. Otherwise course is nice.

Single Golfer

I am coming in town and had an extra morning so was excited that I could play golf. Guess I am good enough to pay to stay at the hotel for 4 nights but not play golf. Thankfully Hermitage will let me book 10 days out as a single and not have to just walk up. I get not having a bunch of singles fill up a tee sheet but at least take down our names and if others call in hook them up so they can play. Enough business comes through the Opryland resort that there has to be enough singles to make this worthwhile. Guy on the phone was rude when I expressed my displeasure at not being able to book at all with what I paid to stay at the resort. Curtly told me he would get a pro on the phone but they would just say the same th.....transferred to hold too quick to finish his sentence. I hung up as I am not going to be treated like that as nobody should. I travel a lot and play as a single all over but this is the rudest i have been treated in trying to book a tee time.

Sitting on the Fence

First off, I can’t begin to say that the staff at this facility ranks in my top 5 of the friendliest staff’s that I have ever come across. It appears to me that they enjoy working at this facility. The course was in good shape and certainly presented some challenge especially when the winds picked up. I was frustrated with the pace of play on our back 9. The Ranger was not circulating and some groups started slowing down and really needed a push. I will be back when we come back to the area!!!

I’ll be back!

The course played well for early in the season. The golf staff were very pleasant, the bar staff, not so much. Almost like we were putting them out by being there. I would highly recommend the golf experience and will be back..Great greens and challenging holes..

Fabulous

Absolute pleasure to play where the pro’s have. Once the host site for the Bell South Classic the course is as if the pro’s are coming tomorrow. Tight fairways but emmaculate greens. Definitely worth the time and money, which is not over the top

Super wet and muddy. Given the storms I understand! This course is amazing with fantastic service. The lay out is great and will challenge your game. A true links course with rolling hills. I will return when I come back.

People are fantastic here. Bravo!

Great day in November! Course well maintained. You could sense the pride the staff has in their club. Met several members: friendly and welcoming to out of town guests. If I lived in the area, I would definitely take advantage of the annual membership. Tremendous value for this experience.

Great course and a great time

Played in a threesome. The course was not busy on an October Wednesday so pace of play was basically up to us. The last time I played this course, the rough was way too high which made the course extremely difficult if you missed the fairway. Today it was just right.

The course was in excellent shape all around. Tee boxes, fairways were very good with very few bare spots. The greens were outstanding.

The staff was extremely friendly at the bag drop, pro shop, and 19th hole.

My only complaint is there is OB on the interior of the course due to a driving range. I did not hit into the OB area, but I have a problem with that interior OB in general.

To sum it up, this is one of my favorite courses in Nashville and it didn’t disappoint today. Thanks!

Best Nashville Course on GolfNow

Course was in outstanding condition. Played 18 holes in 4:30 on a Friday morning. Greens were tricky to read but very fair. Fairway lies were excellent. Rough was decent height and not too challenging. Great track and worth every penny to play it. I have paid 2-3 times as much to play similar courses. Scenery is outstanding as well.
