Situated in the heart of Franklin, the Cheekwood Golf Club (formerly known as Fairways on Spencer Creek) is conveniently located only 20 minutes south of Nashville. This popular layout has been ranked as one of the top 10 nine-hole golf courses in Tennessee. Despite being a shorter course, the layout still offers several holes with water hazards and sand bunkers. The tight fairways and rolling terrain also require a fair amount of accuracy. The course has enough challenges as well as enough variety throughout the holes to make it a fun round for more skilled players, which also makes it a great place for beginners to get some practice. Being that the round is usually quick, the golf course is a popular choice for golfers looking to get in a quick round after work.

Better than expected

I searched for a local course to play for a small business outing. None of us were regular golfers but we were treated like royalty. The course was beautiful, we didn’t feel rushed, and regarding the current COVID scare, everything was clean and ready for use.

Thanks for a great day! We will be back for sure.

See potential, but not worth it

Greens are absolutely terrible. Your ball will bounce all over the place when trying to putt. I stuck several of the par threes and there was NO ball mark. That’s how hard they were. Lastly, fairways felt like playing off a rock.

Good Course to Get Some Practice in

I went there on a Saturday to brush up on my game after not playing for a few months. It’s a short course but wide open fairways helped me from the tee box. After waiting on the first tee box, there was little to no wait at each hole to tee off. Fairways and rough were well groomed. Water on certain holes added a little more difficulty to the round. Overall a great experience to get some practice in. Totally worth the price I paid. Just a couple things... Greens were pretty rough and It was difficult to gage distance without markers. But those issues wouldn’t defer me from playing another round there.

Quick, fun course

I've played this course many times, as it is close to my home. I see that they are located in a flood plain and therefore cannot really do much about the conditions of the course. I think they do the best with what they have. It's kind of bare bones in the pro shop, but I wouldn't expect anything different from a little 9 hole course. I always enjoy playing here even if the grounds are a bit rough.

Getting better

Other than the first green being really bad the rest of the course is much better than the last time I played. Not bad for a 9 hole executive type course especially from the back tees. I played very early so pace of play wasn’t an issue but I can see where it might be later in the day. Friendly staff.

Fun Experience

Took my 20 year old son golfing for the first time and had a great time. Pace of play was conducive to the lack of skill so we didn’t feel pressured all afternoon, good times.

Sneaky good course

I thought this course was exceptional. Sadly I couldn’t find many fairways off the tee but they looked great and greens are sneaky fast as well. I thought the staff was incredible and the starter was great. Yes, the the clubhouse was ran by younger people but the two girls that helped me were awesome. A recent comment suggested that the people running this place were hands off and that’s not the case. Well done everyone I cannot wait to come back!

Run by Children...caveat emptor

For a tucked away neighborhood course, it was a nice course. Some of the greens were in bad shape but most were good. My issue is with the operation of the course. It’s all children running it (16-22 year olds). I saw no pro, no starter, no ranger. Now, the kids I interacted with were all respectful and nice. I liked them. But the scene had a very hands off feel. And I thought I would like that until the clown playing behind our twosome began driving his ball into us. On three consecutive holes! This place invites that element obviously. No rules. Pay a little more and go where adults are running things.

Ride along

My wife wanted to ride along, not play. There was a charge of $7. In the past they did not charge.

Great place to play

Considering it’s early in the year, greens were a little rough, needed some work. But the course was great and always fun place to play. Franklin needs to let them expand to 18 holes.
