Smyrna Golf Course - Regulation Course

Except for a few bald patches off the main fairway, course is in excellent shape for early spring. Greens are in great shape…rolling true with some subtle reads. Staff is friendly and helpful as usual. Pace of play was good even with a match in progress in front. Paired up with Brad on the back and had an enjoyable round and played better because of his company. Always enjoy playing here.

Greens were ok about a week or 2 after areation still bumpy

To be fair it’s mid March, the issue is Bermuda grass. It was last cut very short and now is presently completely dormant. This basically leaves you mud with straw fairways and tee boxes. I found it more pleasing to play from the rough at least their was some grass. For this time of year the greens were in good shape. Thumbs up there. Recommend recommend temporarily practice mats next to tee boxes in winter/ early spring til the grass starts growing again especially on the par 3’s.

While the greens were in exceptionally good condition and putted true and consistent all day long, the fairways had been / were cut down to the "nubs" which made them like hardpan. This made shots off the turf very difficult with little or no grass in a lot of spots, and on top of damp / wet conditions due to rain the previous evening. We were thankful on occasion to hit our ball into the rough where we had some semblance of grass to play on.

I told my playing buddy at one point that I could count the sparse number of bermuda grass runners on the turf. Recommendation: Keep bermuda at higher length for winter months. Again, to the credit of course caretakers, the greens were in outstanding condition and ran fast and true! PS - Smyrna Golf Course keeps their prices well below all the other golf courses in Rutherford County, and even on Fridays - the best bargain for a round of golf.

Staff is great here and course is alway in good shape.

Course seems to drain well after two days of rain. They let us drive on the course and no damage to the fairways were apparent. Good times but limited selection for players over lunch at snack bar.
