About
Franklin Bridge Golf Club (formerly known as The Crossing GC) runs alongside the Harpeth River, which borders 15 of the course's 18 holes. Opened in 1970, the course has a classic layout that will appeal to a wide range of skill levels. Some of the holes definitely present a formidable test, the 16th and 18th for example, which have been hailed by local media as two of the best and most challenging holes in the state, but it is the par-4 ninth with its island green that is the course's signature hole. Although the layout offers a fair challenge, there is also some room for error that makes it more approachable for beginners. In addition to the course, Franklin Bridge Golf Club boasts an 8-acre driving range as well as chipping and putting greens equipped with a practice sand bunker.

Under construction
This is normally a good course. They are making serious changes to 7-9. It’s a hot mess. Very Sandy greens.this would all be fine, but they Did not have any alerts to this on their site or golf now and no discount was offered. I’d wait until the late fall to go back to this one!
Big improvements going on
But not all for the better a 14k putting green nobody was on the 5k green still #8 and 9 still tore up and changing #9 to a par 3 very lame at least make it a long par 3 and still need a bathroom on the back nine though I like the course I recommend it to friends but could b better
Great Bang For Your Buck
Franklin Bridge is one of my favorite courses in the area. Excellent value, and they do a great job of catering to all players. Seemed like they had a tee time go off every 10 minutes, and I only had to wait between shots 2-3 times. I wish the practice area was bigger, but I know they are already expanding it.
Good community track
This course gets a lot of play yet is in decent condition. Ownership is investing a lot to turn this place into the #1 public course in the county. I love the effort and it is paying off.
Played there many times
Charged extra to ride alone during covid concerns. Pro shop employee drove to the first tee to charge an extra $20.00 for cart, after teed off!!! WOW How rude and what about golf etiquette ??? Social grace was lacking. I had to leave without playing my round, and no refund, no apology. RUDE RUDE RUDE and way overpriced for a public course. Gaylord Springs and The Hermitage are cheaper and both are PGA tournament courses from the past.They have nothing posted online or in the pro shop, and claim no liability for endangering your health.
Great condition but
Holes 8 and 9 r tore up lost a ball in the fairway among the piles of dirt on 8 and 9 is a par 3 or 4 at 290
4 foursomes ahead of us at the turn. What is this?
Greens are horrible
Greens are very patchy and dead. Fairways and tee boxes in good condition. Doing some major upgrades and should be great when completed. Don’t agree with full price for bad greens.
Never play here
If you’re looking for a 6 hour round, this is the course for you! The course is horribly run. Greedy management/establishment packs groups right on top of each other. Course marshal is useless. I can sleep better knowing I’ve warned my fellow golfing community.
Disappointing
I am a 3.7 handicap, I have played here numerous times over the years. The fairways are greener than I have ever seen. The greens are bumpy and inconsistent. The areas around the greens are difficult to chip from because there isn't much grass and it is very muddy.
There was a threesome in front of us who were 3 holes behind the group in front of them and the Ranger did nothing.
What good is having a great bar with poor greens and poor apron areas around the greens?
Needs a lot of work
My primary complaint would be the condition of the course. Just rough all the way around. Greens had a good bit of poa which made greens bumpy and the Bermuda still not fully in from winter dormancy. Pot holes and mud puddles present frequently throughout the course. Almost broke my ankle in one. Grass pretty spotty on tee boxes too. And the course had construction equipment working on several holes reconstructing tee boxes and fairways. The course should focus on improving the condition of existing facilities before redesigning
