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.

Offensive Price

I've played Gaylord plenty of times, but when I saw they're charging $141 for a round there, I was so offended I felt the need to write this review. It's a solid course on a smallish piece of property with some interesting holes, but many of them are right on top of each other. It's well maintained and their greens are always great, but in no way shape or form should anyone pay $141 for this place. I thought it was bananas when they were charging $100, but now they're like $40 more than Hermitage (which is a better course). Absurd

Rude golf shop staff

I play Gaylord Springs very infrequently due to less than friendly bag staff and golf shop staff. Played this round with a friend that likes the course. I would not book this course myself. The rudeness of staff has not changed in 3-4 years. I was hoping it might have improved over time but it has not. Staff are not welcoming or congenial and give you the impression they are doing you a favor by letting you play their course. Golf shop staff doesn’t give a welcoming impression and seldom speaks during interaction. Actually threw the cart key on to counter at me. Since the course is affiliated with Marriott, their actions are very disappointing. Marriott management needs to reiterate and retrain the staff in customer service or perhaps replace them. I’ve played over 300 courses across the country and this is rudest staff I can recall encountering. Their actions are also contrary to what I’ve experienced with Marriott as a lifetime Platinum member.

Great experience from out of town.

I had a blast playing this course. Top notch service, wonderful staff. The course was in phenomenal condition. We played in a downpour for the front nine, but the back cleared up. We had a great time. Only complaint is that I paid something like $25 for a small bucket of range balls, after dropping $120-130 on the round, which seems excessive. Also, no rye bourbon at the bar is a sin. Will definitely be back, thank you so much!

Gaylord Springs

Beautiful layout. Excellent greens. Very fast.

Fairways in tough conditions … attributed to time of year, weather, etc… Really questioned Cary path only requirement for how dry the course was!

Unexpected

Decided to check out a different public course 25 miles from my home. It was an excellent experience. Greens were in great shape. The fairways need some more spring weather but that’s being petty. Definitely recommend

Walked

I will play Gaylord Spring House whenever i can!

Arrived early to a packed parking lot, but attendants quickly found a parking place. Check-in was quick and practice has range, traps, chipping and putting excellence. Of course, the links course between with Cumberland River and mountain shelf is beautiful. By the way, the pimento cheese sandwich was too good.

Lies

I called to ask if the course was CPO and was told no, they were off the path, but then showed up and it was CPO. I would not have reserved a tee time or showed up had I known that. Waste of money and time.
