About
Cedar Crest Golf Club in Murfreesboro sprawls across rolling farmland accented with groves of mature trees. The fairways on the front nine are wide open but they become narrower and tree lined on the back nine. The greens play fast and true and they are also well conditioned. There are not many sand traps to contend with but a smattering of elevation changes throughout the golf course cause an occasional uneven lie. Seasoned golfers looking for a challenge won't find it here but what you will find is a relaxed atmosphere that is ideal for a quick, casual round that is player friendly enough for beginners. In addition to the course, Cedar Chest Golf Club offers extensive practice facilities including a driving range and a two-tiered practice green.

THIEVES!!! This is a review of the staff that work here. I left my range finder by accident a month or so ago, which we have all been guilty of at some point. I called the clubhouse to see if it was left there and they did confirm that they had my rangefinder. I was unable to make it out there for a few weeks so I would call once a week to make sure it was still there. They continued to tell me that it was but an employee was using from time to time. No biggie. The more I called the more I began to get the runaround. I ended up booking a round there on a Sunday and was ready to reclaim my property. I get there and the gentleman at the desk, who's name was Berry, informed me that the worker who uses my rangefinder from time to time accidentally took it home and "is on his way in". Berry asked if I could get it on the turn. So I make the turn... no rangefinder. "He's running really late" Berry told me. I then end my round and still. I rangefinder. Berry comes up and says "the gentleman who has your rangefinder has been fired for stealing and unfortunately your range finder was one of those items". Berry then told me that he would send me a new rangefinder in the mail for the trouble. It's been 2 weeks and no rangefinder. I call the clubhouse and speak with Berry who continues to tell me it's in the mail. I would expect more from a business! What a shame!
Slownplau
Group of 30 playing slow and backed up whole course. No ranger to ask them to pick up pace. No reason for that when I'm paying $60 and they don't manage course.
April round.
Course other than greens was in rough shape. To be expected this time of year. Greens fees should have matched course condition and the of year. I also used a golf now. Little pricey for time of year and conditions.
Staff was great. Would like to try again after conditions improve.
Average Public Course
Overall, the course is fairly average. It’s well kept and has a decent amenities. The fairways and greens are fine. Some strange hole placements that increased the difficulty of the course, but overall not difficult. Pace of play was extremely slow. We had an early tee time, but it took us an hour past our tee time just to tee off, due to a frost delay. The front nine wasn’t terribly slow, but the back nine’s layout caused long delays.
Look forward to playing in the future
First time playing here. Playing from the gold tee.
Nice layout with little elevation.
Greens were in great shape. Bermuda fairways are rough, but it’s to be expected this time of year.
Had a fun round and will be back.
Good course, good greens
This Greens on this course are consistent and usually in good shape. One of my favorite courses to play in the area.
Not good value for the fees
Other nearby courses in better shape and that promote faster play and for less cost.
Staff seems unhappy working at the course, especially pro shop.
Love the course, but...
This is one of my favorite public courses to play in middle Tennessee. I love the course layout and how it is all put together. However, when I played there today (Nov 7, 2021) there was an extreme amount of ball marks in most of the greens. I am aware that this is something that the course staff doesn't have much control over, but it was crazy to see all of the imperfections in the greens. This is the first time it was like this for me, but definitely something that I will remember about that round.
Like I said, I absolutely love the course layout and the value of the course at this price point. Definitely going to keep coming here in the future.
