Definitely gives you a tough challenge to shoot a low score. Fantastic layout of the course. Had several blind tee shots where I was unsure where to safely place the ball. Par 3s were overall super long playing from the back tees. Fairways had a few rough spots but the greens were in fantastic shape. They kept the greens watered and probably need more attention on the fairways. A bunch of ball marks on the green from people not properly fixing their divots, but looked like the grounds group did well trying to fix them. New management looks like they know what their doing and are definitely moving in the right direction to get the course in great shape. Could easily be a $70 course once all the repairs get done.

Played here twice within a month. Just left the course due to extremely slow play. Course did not have starters or course marshalls. Not just a little slow, like spend hour and half to get in four holes. Will not be back.

If you are looking for a nice course to try look no further. This course has championship features all around. Great tee boxes, fairways, and greens. Lots of bunkers so no bump and runs all fly in. True rolls on greens fast but not lightning. True reads. Only complaint is the pace of play was super slow and most people that were new to the course did not understand that a twosome should play ahead of a foursome.

Great challenge. Course was in good condition. Only downside was you can see where the recent construction had take. Place and there were some spots on the fairways that were rough.

The course itself was when very nice shape, some of the best sand I've had to hit out of actually. The biggest downside to KC is the smell on holes 14-16. There is a sewage plant nearby. Other than that everything was very nice for the money.

I play this course often and as others have noted the course is under new management.
There are two obvious changes. The scorecard is no longer cardboard it's a misaligned photocopy on paper ( like you would get at a mini golf course). The greens fees have been raised ( this may tie to having all 18 holes back??). The staff is young, friendly and accommodating. I'm glad the management group kept them.

The course:
Many of the fairways have huge bare spots. The greens are in decent shape however to my fellow golfers please, please, please fix your ball marks and stop dragging your feet!
Bunkers have little issues, but need more rakes. Folks won't rake if they have to go 20+ yard to get one. There is a visible absence of 150 yd poles on many of the holes. Maybe 3 weeks ago they have opened up the front 9 holes post construction.
The area that were impacted by construction are still a mess. Mostly cart path some of the fairways. I see little efforts to fix them.
Pace of play is the standard for the area on weekends. give yourself 4.5 to 5 hours

Unfortunately these conditions do not justify a $45 -$50 green fee. If they tighten up the course conditions it will be worth it.

All ball washers lacked sufficient water. The tee areas were not aimed down the center of the fairways. There were burn spots in many fairways.

I am from Canada and really enjoyed my round if golf with a friend.
The greens are impeccable and the rest of the conditions are favorable given the expansion and construction presently underway.
There was absolutely no interruptions by the crews during our play. The course is challenging yet forgiving for the higher handicap golfer.
I'm sure before long the new owners will install the 150 yard markers on the front nine but we would also benefit from a 100 yard marker as well on all par 4's and 5's.
I will definitely return. Gloria H. Canada

This course is beautifully difficult. With the Golf Now discount, I feel like I just stole 18 holes of play. Course was a little torn up due to a pipeline cutting through a few holes. This didn't really affect anything though. I'll be back for sure!

I live in the area so I decided that I would give this course one more chance simply based on location. I played seven holes and left out of shear frustration. Five of the holes had staff working the grounds who wouldn't even move off the hole. We literally had to play around them. Two of the holes had sprinklers running non stop because they just laid new sod. Seven of the nine holes are cart path only. Finally, the front nine is still closed! One member described it accurately. Three ring circus.

With half the course closed the staff did a poor job of starting play and managing groups making the turn. We quit after 15 holes after getting behind a slow threesome who started their round right in front of us on our turn. Pace of play was ridiculously bad. Not going to return anytime soon.

Booked on golfnow, but paid at the course. Got behind the SLOWEST people. No marshalls out to monitor it. Paid for 18, but only got to play 9 due to the slowness of play. The course guy said we couldn't have a refund due to the fact that we booked online, even though we paid at the course. Not even accommodating to us at all with a rain check. Makes zero sense. For a course that's under construction and always seeming to be in danger of closing from the rumors I hear it seems, you'd think they would want to have better customer service.

the front nine was closed, which we didn't know until we got there. Half of the tee boxes had no grass, course was in sub par conditions. Don't see a reason to go back.

Course only has 9 holes open and the fairways and tee boxes look like dirt pile.

The front nine is closed due to sewage construction. That was not made known on the booking site. Found out when we arrived at the course. That would have weighed in on my decision before booking.

Course in good shape for coming out of winter.
Played back nine twice as front nine under heavy reconstruction. Course marshall nice and keep pace of play going well. Overall a good round of golf for the price. We got a discount price online. Would like to come back and play in the summer when everything is greened out.

When we arrived at the course, we were told we would have to play the back 9 twice because the front nine is closed. The city is installing a sewage main that runs through the front 9. In addition, the range is closed. Had I known in advance that these are the conditions at this course, I would NOT have booked the tee time. There was no indication when I booked the tee time about the condition of the course. In addition, the back 9 is not in great shape. Several holes smell like sewage and the fairways are poorly maintained.

When we got there we found out that the driving range was not
open. Also found out that golf now did not post that course only has 9 holes open until the end of May. If golf now would have posted information I would have chosen a different course.

I booked a tee time on golfnow. I drive 45 min to course from Hermitage. When I got there, the front nine is closed!! The city is building a huge sewer line through the course on the front nine. They have been dynamiting the place to dig a 20 foot trench. It is not their fault. It is a city fault. However, that being said, they should list that the course is under construction on golf now. No warning at all. You have to play the back 9 twice. And oh, the range is closed so you do not get a bucket of balls with your purchase through golf now like it says. Very loud due to construction. Since course has sold to this group things have gone down hill some there. The course design is one of the best in Nashville. I do love the course. I just wish or I think it is proper to let public know that course is under construction on golf now. On top of that, they punched the greens recently and greens are not in good shape right now. The cups in the holes are lined with plastic just below the cut of the hole. It lips out often. Not sure what the heck they are thinking with that. There is no dirt around cup to grab your ball due to the plastic lining. Not a fan. Change it back for god sake. I am a golf coach and have played for 35 years. Probably will be better in a month. My recommendation is to wait until at least May to play. Greens will be better and construction will be gone. Oh, eat before you go. They have a grill but is was not open today on a Saturday.......really? I had to eat a hot dog and chips. The hostess was working kitchen too so I have no idea why she wouldn't fix me a burger. Seems like they do not want to take care of customers.

Great price and easy to deal with. Course was in good shape for the middle of winter.
