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.

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.

Great, except pace and staff ageism

Older 4 some in front, not letting us play through. Bumped back “on pace time” 45 mins to an hour, couldn’t get in a rhythm.

Playing with a 40 year old, and me (30) and 2 others similar aged, called marshal, marshal was old too, didnt even talk to them about pace or playing through until a 3rd complaint

Hot deal

Golf now hot deal $50. Well worth that. $90 is really excessive for any course to me, but this one is real nice. Pretty difficult layout with some trouble on almost every hole. Greens were immaculate, fast and real difficult. 1 putted 6 greens and 3 putted 6 greens! Will look for more deals to play!!
