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.

Top course
I enjoyed playing this course. Enough challenge off the tee and around the green. Pay dearly in high rough on errant shots. Greens were rolling true. Played here twice in last week and will play again.
Cedar Crest Golf Course
You can't beat playing this course for the value. Course was in much better condition than 1 year ago, lots of recovery from the December 2022 deep freeze. Green's were very good, a bit slow compared to our usualCourse, but very fair from a play standpoint. This was the second or third time playing here and the 8 of us thought it was a very playable course and we will be back.
Highly Recommend
I haven't played Cedar Crest in many years although I live nearby. I was highly impressed with the condition of the course and degree of challenge. I strongly recommend this course and compliment the staff on the cleanliness of the course as well as the condition. Congratulations to the course staff! Please keep it going!
Nice course
This is a nice course that is fun to play. The greens are decent and the fairways are well maintained.
Long day
My father and I love this course. But lay out the staff as I was so friendly and attentive. Only problem is piece of play Here. Much of the time on my last round had to quit after 15 holes was already 4 hours and 50 minutes into the round and could not complete my round.. This is where a Marshall should be attentive.
Very pleasantly impressed
Booking and check in was painless. Course was exceptionally clean and well maintained. Greens were in great shape, fairways were well manicured. Tee Boxes could use a little maintenance but otherwise I found course to be fair, beautiful and a pleasure to play. Would play there again anytime!
The worst management in Nashville area
Man, what a nice course for the price. $55 for a hot deal on a Sunday. Very solid conditions as well.
But holy mackerel - you guys have no idea how to manage a golf course.
You have 3 people working the counter (there’s two registers), you guys have 3 people watering the greens on a packed Sunday.
But no Ranger or Starter making sure the pace of play is reasonable?
Make it make sense.
We were a 4 some on carts. The group ahead of us was a 2 some walking. The group ahead of them was a 1 some walking.
Who managed those tee times?
The 2 some ahead of us was BAD. They were playing the tips. And flubbing half of their shots. Playing double bogey golf at best.
They were also waiting when the group ahead of them was two shots up.
By the end of the 8th hole we were annoyed. So we skipped 9 and went to 10.
10 had 2 guys in 1 cart waiting.
2 more folks pulled up and the 2 guys waived em thru.
Then 2 more guys showed up to pair with the initial group waiting.
I guarantee both groups took 10-15 minutes at the turn.
We skipped 9 and still waited 15 minutes to tee off on 10.
The 4 some ahead of us was a group of teenagers getting hammered and taking 20 minutes a hole. We were an hour into the back by the time we got to 13.
That 4 some also only had 2 bags. Which is unbelievable on a Sunday with cart path only.
We skip them on 13. Then get to the 14 par 3 and a guy is watering the green. He completely ignores us on the tee box. So we just skipped to 15.
Have to wait a bit on a walking 3 some the rest of the round but wasn’t terrible.
On the par 3 17th there was 3x greens keepers sitting in their carts under a tree. Why do you have 3 people on the clock sitting under a tree with nobody managing the pace of play????
I have no issues with a 4.5-5 hour round when the management is TRYING TO MANAGE THE COURSE.
But when you fully neglect pace of play and completely mis allocate your resources to unnecessary employees, it’s annoying.
We skipped 3 holes and the round still took 4 hours and 10 minutes.
If we wouldn’t have skipped folks it would been 5.5 hours at best.
Here’s what yall need to do;
Get a starter, a ranger and a cart girl. Those three roles will tremendously improve the pace of play.
The starter ensures that people are paired properly and actually have 1 bag for each player.
The ranger simply ranges the course and makes sure people aren't taking 20 minutes a hole.
And the cart girl serves people during the round so folks don’t need to take 10-15 minutes at the turn.
Don’t have 3 pro shop workers on staff and 3 greens keepers without the 3 roles listed above.
Hopefully you take this to heart. I’m not trying to be mean but you guys are running the course the wrong way.
Wish you the best but won’t be playing here again.
Disgraceful pace of play…
Good conditions, seems well kept…
But an absolute disgrace when it comes to pace of play. In 20 years of playing golf I’ve never had such a terrible experience at a course. Having to wait 10+ minutes each shot, people waiting till someone’s on the green to tee off on a par 4 and 5. No ranger, no accountability from the management handling slow groups.
And then multiple greenskeepers at each green, and on multiple holes we even had to wait an extra 5+ minutes as they watered the greens.
We ended up skipping 3 holes just to get ahead of slower groups and it still took 4+ hrs to finish 18.
I would not recommend booking a round here on the weekends.
It’s truly sad, this is one of my favorite courses to play and has a great layout, but it’s going to be hard justifying to play at this course on any weekend from here on out.
