Pine Creek Golf Course

I’ve been playing this course for over 20 years and consider it my home course and one of my favorites. After playing here last week, I will have to reconsider my past opinions. To raise your rates for the conditions the course was in is absolutely ridiculous. I realize everything is going up but I am extremely disappointed and feel this increase was definitely not warranted. The value for the money is not there and this course does not warrant a weekend rate of $80+!

I will be looking elsewhere to play from here on out as I cannot justify paying these fees for such a poorly kept course.

This course has been a part of my group’s rotation for about 6 years, but it has never been in worse shape. I used to love playing this course. Layout is solid and scenery is nice. The audacity of this course to charge $72 a round for the condition it’s in is unparalleled.

From tee to green this is one of the most poorly maintained courses I’ve played in years and it’s priced as one of the more expensive public courses in the Nashville area.

1. Tee boxes….. especially from the tips are mostly dirt and dead weeds. Hitting a long iron on par 4s or wedges into short par 3s means that you’re teeing the ball up in an old divot or hitting off dirt.

2. Fairways are mostly patchy Bermuda and dead grass clippings. Maybe try over-seeding with a cold weather grass for colder months. Lord knows you’re charging enough money.

3. Around the greens(if there’s even grass)is patchy dead Bermuda that’s been matted down. Good luck controlling the trajectory/spin of your chips.

4. Greens are wildly inconsistent speeds from green to green with most of the pin locations on slopes. Hole 12 is a par 3 that looks like it hasn’t been cut in a week and is probably rolling at an 8 or 9 on the stimp meter. Hole 13 is a par 5 that’s probably rolling 11-12. Don’t even bother hitting putts on the practice green before your round. It’s probably rolling at a 7.

The price of the course has increased significantly almost every season and the only changes to the course are the addition of bunkers on a 135 yard par 3 and less grass.

If you are a single digit handicap, take my advice, drive 15 minutes down the road and pay the extra $15 to play hermitage. Pine creek’s management need a reality check on what the expectations should be when paying $70+ on a round of golf in spring.

Great course layout. Staff is very friendly. Greens are in great condition

Course has a good layout and the greens are good condition.

Pros - only Wilson County public course, layout

Cons - the pro shop guys, there’s one who drags em down, have cancelled three tee times on me at the course, the holes cut on the only severe slopes on #12 #16 on 12/11 were shameful, cannot play as a single, paid for two golfers to play in one cart, if you get beyond all that it’s mildly enjoyable

Had a great time, course was manicured well pace of play was good… Overall I had a great experience.

I have played this course several times on the years and this was my first this year and the course was in great shape. The best I ever seen it.

Good course for a public venue. Tees are in pretty bad shape and overall maintenance could be much better. Great layout.

Outstanding golf course. Friendly staff and the course has a great somewhat challenging (depending on your tee box selection) for a decent price. Best course I golfed at during my visit to the Nashville area.

Ruberts

Significantly over priced for the quality of the course. Tee boxes are un even and some barely have grass. Greens would be nice if not for all the ball marks that no one repairs. They have no starter so instead of ensuring full groups you often end up with a bunch of 2 somes, which makes pace of play unbearable. At least a 4.5 hour round, likely 5. No ranger to keep pace of play or combine up groups.

Place has a ton of potential but just not well run.
