Gaylord Springs Golf Links
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.

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
Great course Great Price
A must see in Nashville. I’ve played all over and some very nice tracks. This is a top notch public course in Nashville. Highly recommend.
A must play.
Largest greens ever seen! Exquisitely maintained too! This course is at professional grade and would have you saying WOW on many holes. Want to be challenged? Bring it here.
Cart path
This course should be closed if you are not to drive on the course.
Too early in the season
More than half the course under water, no range available.
Might be a decent track when it drys out in the summer
Wet but fun
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.
Thanks for playing our course. Sorry the weather did not cooperate. We look forward to your return trip.!
Great golf course!
We had a great day. They had a lot of rain, but the course played great. Would definitely come back.
We are glad you enjoyed your round! Hoping the sun is shining the next time you visit.
Best course in Nashville
This course is absolutely awesome. The food is amazing too.
Thanks! We are glad you enjoyed.
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.
Spectacular
I Love playing here, the views, the challenge, the greens and the staff. Everything is always very enjoyable!!
One of the absolute best, public courses you have the privilege to play.
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.
Manicured to perfection!
Absolutely enjoyed playing this course! The greens rolled flawlessly and were playing at a great speed. We will definitely be back to play here again.
Grumpy ranger
We had three some in the morning, we kept in good pace, ranger names joe came in to warm twice for slow play, in fact it was not slow at all, group behind us was one hole behind, he suggest one hole and 1/2 ahead,
Back nine was great
Great course
Well kept, friendly staffs, different levels of difficulty. I enjoyed playing here.
Nice club house, very good practice areas , awesome layout. Fabulous greens!!!!
Always Professional
A wonderful golf course with with a professional staff and excellent amenities. Course is in excellent condition, beautiful and offers a great rate for seniors. A must to play if you are in Nashville.
