Play is just way too slow.

They should have kept the old clubhouse and spent $ on rangers. Lol. The pace of play here is so horribly slow it’s ridiculous. I finished 9 holes on a Wednesday and had to quit because I was tired of watching others golf. The course was packed. You NEED rangers when a course gets this much play by a bunch of players who don’t know how to golf.

They also stopped giving you a range ball token and took the water cooler away on the first hole and at the turn.

Place has gone WAY downhill. 👎🏻

Course Condition

Only April so course needs to grow in but a lot of spots that have no grass, only hard packed mud. And who came up with the idea to use those hole liners? Hard enough to make a putt when the Greenskeeper doesn’t tamp down the hole when it is cut, leaving a dome but the lip outs because of the idiotic liners just adds to the frustration.

Limited / bad range, too expensive for how nice the course is.

I believe there is 18 total range spots. Not in great condition. For 100 dollars, this course is over priced.

The actual course itself is enjoyable to play. Should be a 70 dollar course.

Course wants a premium price

I have been playing here for years, and I love the layout but the last couple of years the course is always in the same condition, and the price has gotten completely out of hand. They don't water anything but the greens the tee boxes are always rock hard and uneven the fairways are also rock hard and are down to almost no grass. The time of the year does contribute to some of this but so does maintenance. If you want 80 dollars in April and over a hundred all summer long, then you need to be an outstanding course and this one doesn't come close. Very disappointing for a course, I used to love that is just out to suck all the money it can out of people.

Awful condition

Towhee could be great if the owners would spend money on the course. Layout is great. It is an Arnold Palmer design that he pulled his name off several years ago due to conditions. Like many courses in the Nashville area, there are limited public courses and this is far from a $100 course. The first hole is challenging, but floods when it rains due to lack of drainage. The new owners promised upgrades, but are just happy overcharging and keeping it in the shape it is. These rankings are hilarious

Course is worth paying $60-75 range, WAY overpriced if you are paying more for the conditions and layout. It has improved, over the last year and half, but still overpriced.

This could seriously be one of the best courses in Tennessee if they started putting in the same effort on the course as they did on the new clubhouse and hired a course marshal to enforce pace of play…… Pretty embarrassing this was a US open qualifying site last year

Not at its best

I’ve played this course before when it was in phenomenal condition, which made this visit pretty disappointing—especially for $90+. There was a significant amount of maintenance going on throughout the course, which clearly impacted the overall experience.

The greens were the biggest issue—extremely slow and appeared not to have been mowed recently. It just wasn’t playing anywhere near the level I’ve come to expect here.

I know this course can be excellent, but right now it’s simply not in that kind of shape. Hopefully conditions improve soon.

Terrible Pace of Play and No Parking

The pace of play was terrible. Over 5 hours to complete 18. Not a course Marshall anywhere in sight to help push things along either.

Also, arrived 30 minutes before my tee time and couldn’t find a spot to park anywhere at the course. Took me 20 minutes just to find a spot so I wasn’t able to warm up before my round.

Both of these are unacceptable for a golf course, and both should easily be controlled by management.

Great Potential

I love that the course seems to be investing recently. The clubhouse, restaurant specifically, is outstanding, beautiful, and a must do either pre/post, or even just going there without playing golf.

The course needs to be tended to, but to be fair the weather has been horrible thus far this year and it's only February. However, if they keep it up, it'll be great.

Just watch the price and don't let them get too high.
