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.

Overall enjoy, but one thing needs improvement
Love playing this course. The only issue is that the tee boxes are not in any good shape. They are mostly sand and are extremely uneven. This is the case whether I’m playing them in the Spring/Summer or Fall/Winter. They need to rebuild them. Given the green fees, they should be higher quality. The rest of the course, including the greens are phenomenal.
Cart Path Only
Cart Path only stinks but the course was in good shape. Enjoyed playing but just a lot of walking after knee surgery.
Car path only on a beautiful day
They have a rule that states in his cart path only Monday through Thursday. I feel like they should change that when the Monday is the day before a holiday, and they are booked solid. It took a little over five hours to play 18 holes.
Course conditions/price
I can’t justify paying $65.00 + for a course in in bad condition. But Maintenance let down is evident.
Greens and Slow
Play was slow due to foursome in front of us unaware of golf course etiquette. Greens had a lot of ballmarks and were slow needing mowing.
Over used
High school teams competition playing course in front of us.
Nobody repaired ball marks. The greens were like mine fields.
The rest of course in good condition.
Friendly staff.
Greens were horrible
Greens had not been cut and I played on Sunday. Pathetic for a course to not cut greens, not alert players to this and still charge high weekend rates.
Greens were not playable.
They had aerated some time ago but the real problem is that they hadn’t mowed it in probably a week+. They literally weren’t playable. They should have provided a warning. The fairways (solid shape) were tighter than the greens. Tee boxes need some work… some uneven lies but you could find a spot to hit from. I’ve previously played the course and not had the same issue.
Green keeper
Had to wait several times while greens were being watered. Poor timing I reckon but overall, great course.
Solid experience
Multiple off-green areas under repair. Greens were difficult to find a true roll putt due to all the divots that have never been repaired. Other than those 2 things, great course layout and staff was very friendly,
Still a good course
Even though it has been hot and dry for most of the summer, the greens are still in great shape and receptive. Nice to see that some overgrown areas are being thinned out and cleaned up, which lends to a better view overall. Some areas in the fairway are also being taken care of. Great to see a course using greens fees to make things better, not just more money. The range is still blah, so maybe that would be next on the list for improvements. Mats and better balls would be a start.
