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.

Challenging but fair

Played in slightly chilly and windy conditions. I like the layout, you are definitely rewarded for hitting it in the fairway but don’t often hit it out of play if you’re a little crooked. The greens were in very good shape considering the time of year. Nice variety of holes. Will definitely return.

Go play this gem

Winter rates made the wet conditions worth it. Greens were amazing for this time of year… rolled true and Stimped 10-11 in my opinion. The summer rates are higher but course would be perfect then. Better experience than Hermitage due to the staff friendliness for less money!

Fun Round in the Fall

We played the course on a cloudy, overcast day. There were not a lot of people playing, so our pace was just fine. The staff were very friendly, and even made recommendations for dinner at the Opry. The course was challenging, but not too difficult. The fairways are wide, but trouble does exist on the holes near the river. I did find the river with one shot. Also, water comes into play on many of the holes which makes the views pretty amazing. It was our fist time playing in the Nashville area, and we will play again in the future if returning to the area.

Gaylord Springs Experience

We had a great round in spite of the weather and course conditions. since it was winter our understanding is that it was Cart Path Only, so we did do a lot of walking. However eh staff was great! Very friendly and professional. We're planning on coming back in the spring or summer when conditions are more favorable.

Freezing Cold - But still had a blast

From the minute we arrived, everything was simple. The staff was incredibly friendly. Literally everyone we talked to was nice. Just ben clear, it wasn't that "pre-programmed" friendliness. It was clear that they enjoyed being there and were not miserable working on a Saturday. It was a freezing cold day, but even so we had an amazing time. There are a couple holes (par 3s), and 16 that you only see on courses that are far more expensive. I would highly recommend this course to anyone that is in the Nashville area for the weekend. Also, if you are bringing a kid (that can keep up with adults), call before you book and ask about rates for kids after lunch. Again, nothing negative to say about this place.
