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.

Course under construction

Several of the fairways and a few of the greens were in pretty bad shape. The fairways were completely dug up in some spots with huge sections of plowed up, hard packed dirt. It think the price $42 should have been about half that considering if you hit a shot perfectly down the middle of the fairway you could end up in this unplayable surface. Yeah, it's a free drop but why am I paying so much when you know your course is under construction. I don't remember seeing any signs prior to teeing off and none of the staff gave a warning either. This course could also use a marshall. We got backed up behind a foursome that was literally hitting one shot at a time. I mean, each player remained in the cart until the other player hit and completed their shot. Then he would walk to the cart and another player would get out of the cart, walk up to the tee box and then commence preparing to hit his tee shot. And they did this all the way to the green. And they were hitting the ball sideways about 80 yards each hit. I might play here again but it will be for $20 or less for 18 with cart. Be advised, it IS NOT worth more than that.

Course in transition

I booked tee time on Golf Now for a really good rate. I have always liked the design on this course and it seems that the ownership is making repairs and modifications to the course. They were leveling areas of some of the fairways and trees were being removed in some areas. I look forward to playing again once those improvements have been made. Hopefully the greens will improve as well. Most are great but a few are in very bad shape.

Greens

Due to the extreme heat the greens were constantly being watered, which made them slower than expected and a couple greens on the back nine needed attention (patchwork sod had been put down which made the surface horrible for putting and one green had tire tracks on it which appeared to be tractor tires).

Can't control the heat but need to repair those greens.

fun layout, poor conditions

Cedar Crest has a fun layout. Not difficult, but fun. However, the condition of the fairways was the worst on any course I've ever seen. Grass is non-existent in many of the fairways. I would gladly recommend the course, if they put effort into improving the fairways. Greens are smooth and filled in nicely, but run slow. Also, the range balls are whatever they have found lost on the course and they don't appear to clean them between cycles.

Mr. Washburn

Haven't played here in a while, so I thought I'd check it out. When I checked in I requested a small bucket of range balls and was told there was some on the range. Little did I know that that meant self serve out on the range. The course was somewhat more challenging than I remembered and the greens were in good shape, that was about it. The tee boxes need a substantial amount of h2o applied before the resodding will start to grow.

Updates needed

This is a very good course. They need seed. A lot of seed. They also need a pitch sand practice area. Almost got hit by ball putting on 18 from driving range slicer. However course is challenging fair and fun.

Rainy Day

Cedar Crest is probably the best draining course in the area if a lot of rain has come. Front 9 is fairly wide open, the second 9 is very tight and can eat your lunch if not precise off the box. It had rained 4 straight days and still allowed us to drive in the fairways.

Nice lay out

Course has potential but to raise the price from last year and have bare patches 100 yards and in sad. They have a ways to go before the rates should go up.

Country Golf

This is an old school golf course. No irrigation for the fairways so there are bare spots. I like the layout. Open on the front and tighter on the back. Greens were aerated last week and have not been mowed. Rolled about a 2. This course needs some love.

Nice greens and variety in the layout

It was a cool day, but the course played nice. The undulating greens putted very true and are a great draw. There's a nice variety with the layout of the course.

Challenging, but not too Difficult

I played this course from the white tees and had an enjoyable round. The fairways are generally in good shape but had a few bare spots due to the rough winter of 2014. The greens are bent grass and putted true; they would get 10 out of 10 if more players would repair their ball marks. There are a few par fours where you absolutely have to hit it straight -- there are no "bail out" areas. Its location is a plus as well -- very quiet, no jets overhead or busy streets adjacent to it. I definitely recommend giving this course a try.

make golf shots

Really enjoyed playing this course it demands that u make golf shots, you will be tested to use all your clubs and you must manage this course. Greens had been aerated but they was still in good shape fairways was in excellent condition. Make a good shot and be rewarded, but if you make a bad tee shot, well good luck from there lol.

My local favorite

I like the course as it is a challenge for this older senior player but yet it is not to difficult. It has some fun holes that you can score on if you are on your game. I worry about the trees in the fall as bag worms seem to be overpowering.
