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.

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.

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.
