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.

Below expectation

The fairways are in fair condition a good bit of bare spots. Condition of tee boxes are spotty at best a few are bare mounds of sand dirt mixture. Greens are in good condition. I didn't see anyone who worked there but the starter who was over 25 maybe that's the issue. There are better courses in the area for the same price.

The winter was not kind to the fairways

This is a decent course for the prices you can get on golf now. The winter was rough on the fairways but the greens are in great shape. Some very strategically placed trees make the course more challenging than it appears.

Excellent Course

I thoroughly enjoyed playing this course. For 18 holes and riding, $30 was well worth the experience. The fairways were some of the nicest fairways in the middle Tennessee area because of the harsh winter we had. There were still some bald spots, but there weren't many and the greens were very soft!

Average

There are good things about this course but they do not out weigh the average and below average items for me. The greens were in terrific shape, but like most public courses people are too lazy to fix their ball marks. The fairways were average, several holes had bare spots in the fairway. The range only has mats for warming up and only has 5 positions to hit from. The most unpleasant issue of the day was slow play! Since we played as a twosome we expect some waiting, but we waited up to 10 minutes to hit on multiple holes, we drove up to tee boxes before the group in front of us teed off multiple times and with an open hole in front of them they would not let us play through, a marshall would be nice!

Cedar Crest is awesome

This place is amazing. I played from 2:30 on the dot for $26 and I got stuck in the rain so I waited in the cart barn with a young blonde fella that parked his truck in the cart barn since it was raining and his window didn't roll up. The short guy with the beard was funny. he helped us a ton. The snack bar girl was gorgeous and very friendly. The Mexican fellas were nice as well. The carts were in great condition and the cart boy didn't stop working even in the rain.

Pretty good shape

As opposed to most area courses that lost some fairways due to our extremely cold winter, Cedar Crest was in better shape than I expected. The greens were really good but the tee boxes needed some work...mostly, how about making them flat? At the snack bar, beware the pulled pork BBQ sandwich. It was called "phenomenal" but looked like and tasted like dried-up crumbled beef jerky.

Nice greens, fairway problems

My friend and I have forever labeled this course as "Lumpy Crest". Fairway conditions were terrible on the front 9, not as bad on the back. Our cart's suspension definitely got a workout.
There is an overabundance of trees and wooded areas to lose strokes. At least 2 of the holes have tree lines that intersect the fairway with very little room for error. The greens were in much better condition than the fairways.
Small driving range, mats only. The balls were obviously only those which were lost during rounds; some were busted, others were muddy, others were laden with dried grass.

Memorial Day 2014

Course wasn't crowded. Weather was great. Greens were 8 out of 10. Fairways and tees had lots of bald areas. Hard winter has made summer grass come in slow. Still a great day on the course. Once the fairways fill out it will be in tip top shape. Always an enjoyable round at this course.

The fairways were a bit rough as far as condition but the tee boxes and greens were in great shape. Some if the other courses in the area are in much worse shape after the cold winter even this far into the season. Compared to the other courses in the area and the costs for those courses, this was a much better deal considering the condition of the course compared to the others.

Played in tournament this past weekend and had a good time at the course. Staff was friendly and helpful in regards to information about the course and the tournament. Greens were in nice shape! Fairways seem to be coming along well.

Not in good shape except for greens

Greens are good. Fairways have many bare spots and some clover patches that have not been treated. Rough is terrible as usual; rocky and bare requiring ball to be moved to avoid damaging clubs. Staff is not overly friendly in my brief encounter with them.

All in all overpriced for condition of course.

Kind of upset with staff

I found the course to be fairly nice and very enjoyable. Although, I was not happy with the staff. First off, the kid in the clubhouse was nowhere in sight and finally found him back in the kitchen talking with some young girls. When he finally came to the desk, he had a open jar of peanut butter and nutella he was eating in front of us with a spoon. Extremely unprofessional. Secondly, there were 2 grounds keepers just riding all over the course and right up on us as we were trying to hit. Extremely distracting when they were pulling balls out of the water next to the green on the par 3 we were hitting on to. I could not believe they would not get away from the green when we were trying to hit. And finally, all this took place on a Sunday afternoon.

Tee Boxes

The overall course was not in bad shape. The tee boxes need a lot of work I would like for them to rebuild most of them. 18th tee box was the only good Teebox from the whites.

Course needs Work!

Fairways - thin no grass , hard fairways so the golf balls hit and rolled fifty more yards or so and thought the fairways . Greens- very slow. Needed to to cut and rolled. Rocks and dirt in the rough. Played the Back Tee Boxes Many were not level and had weeds on them . Good thing we paid under $18.00 for that round .

Beautiful course

This was my first time playing this course and it was delightful. The course is a little tight on a few holes but not too hard. You do have to hit them straight or you could get into some trouble pretty quickly. The greens, fairways and tee boxes were in great shape and the employees very friendly. We were a twosome between two foursomes and play was on a good pace. I would play here again.
