Smyrna Golf Course - Executive Course

I rated this course awhile ago, and gave it a three star. Today, after play, the manager "Hal" asked me to talk with him a bit about my evaluation. He made some really good points. Good enough in fact, that I decided to come and re-look at how I saw things. My major bone of contention is that Smyrna charges more for those outside of Smyrna for yearly membership. They recently changed so players outside of Smyrna can no longer get new memberships. They DID "Grandfather" in any existing players that wanted to stay on. After speaking to Hal, I honestly can see their perspective. I still don't agree with it, as I live in LaVergne, do business in Smyrna and figure we should be included. But is just that, my opinion. Really, that is not why I changed my rating. So, why did I? Well, how many place have you played golf that even seemed to READ your rating, or cared? Hall did read it. Hall does care. The staff is, and was never an issue. Nicer people can not be found to do business with. And when Hal spoke to me, it was with Genuine Concern for their product and service and to be sure I understood what had been done FOR the current members and to let me know that All are welcome and wanted at this course. Membership is just a tricky "business" subject and so I changed my rating to ONLY reflect the course, staff and whether or not I would recommend it. I would. Absolutely. If you go play there, you will find a good course, fair price and great staff. And, at the end of the day, isn't that why you go to play? Great job guys. Just sorry you decided to charge more for "Out of Towners" like me and my friends, and that business dictates you made the decision to exclude us from LaVergne, from future joining in membership.

It was the first time I've ever golf in Tennessee in December and it was evenident that the grass was dead, but besides that it was nice to get out an play. The course was very accommodating and the food in the snack bar was good and reasonably priced. Overall it was a good experience

Staff was very rude wouldn't recommend this course

I have played this course many times and always enjoy it !!! They seem to be improving the course always and staff have been excellent to me !! Thanks Smyrna G.C.

I have played this course since starting golf three years ago. I am a senior in their league.If there is friendlier staff out there, I have seen it. The course is fairly easy for a senior to play and they work hard to keep the grounds well kept. You can always see someone working. So, why the Low rating? They are pricing folks that do not live in Smyrna out of the game. Every year the price goes up. This year, they made it clear if you are not already IN membership, you may not become a member in the future. EVER!! Just say go away and be done with it. So, I've taken MY money to another course. I left good, not great friends there to do this but Smyrna has made it clear if you are not FROM Smyrna, don't come here to be a member or play. You are less than OUR people. Good enough.

Love the course. Plenty tough enough for me

Great practice range.

Went on a Tuesday at noon, for $14 what a steal! Fairways and greens in good shape! People are always nice and friendly!

I have played Smyrna G.C. numerous times through the years; this was the 1st time I used GolfNow.com to book my round. The bent grass greens were in very good condition, which is remarkable considering the middle Tennessee heat. The fairways had a good stand of Bermuda grass on them.

The course was crowded on a Sunday afternoon, but the pace of play was good. We played 18 holes in 4 hours flat.

The snack bar and pro shop are well-stocked and have very reasonable prices.

The fairways had been recently mowed but yet large clumps of grass all through them, needs to be re mowed to break it up so it doesn't kill the grass underneath it would also make the presentation a lot nicer!

Also wish people were courteous enough to repair ball marks on the greens!

Pace of play was slow, and the foursome in front did not want us to play through and also picked up my partners ball!

Just rude!

This course is a simple layout but has some challenging holes. The greens are also in good shape and roll well. Played 18 holes in under 4 hours.

This course is a great value. The greens are in great shape. Course is consistently in good condition. Great driving range. The staff is courteous and helpful. If you are there in the morning, grab a county ham biscuit...delicious!

If I could have given this place a zero I would have. I was there with my wife and 8 year old daughter checking out the driving range and putting area to see if it would have been a nice course to take my father when he comes in from out of town. As we walked around the back area near the garage to get back to my car to leave an older man in a marshall golf cart accosted us in a very rude tone. He treated me as if I were a juvenile delinquent when in fact I am a man in my 30's there with my family. I have decided to keep taking my father to golf courses in Brentwood and Nashville where we are treated as customers that want our business.

Cheers!

The staff is rude and acts like its out of their way to help you. Tee times are not accepted until three days before your play rate but if you call by 8:00 am. Tee times are full. How are they fill in an hour? Something not right.
Handicap golfers treated like trash.
