Cheekwood Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

I've played the course for 7 or 8 years. Never better than now. It improves every week.
Great course - my favorite.
This course is kept in excellent condition! It has some challenging holes.
Enjoying life
Course is much better shape now that the new owners have taken over. Sand traps are wonderful. Very friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable staff.
The "Jewel" on the Harpeth
This course has gone through a great metamorphosis. The new owners have made this the best nine hole course in the area. Fairways, greens and bunkers are in pristine shape. It is set in the heart fo Franklin. Okay it's not Augusta, but it is challenging and enjoyable to play. It has four par three's, four par four's and one par five. The carts are new with GPS to advise of you of yardages and course layout.A friendly staff, golf pro and a relaxed atmosphere! A must try!
Cheekwood is thriving under new team
Cheekwood golf club has been an amazing experience for me personally. I played this course 4 years ago before the new team took over and it was a sub par place, your typical city course. Ever since the new team has taken over this place has exploded into a wonderful place for everyone to get good golf in. The greens have been re done and are starting to roll great, fairways are exceptional, and the overall new layout is competitive for all levels of golf. The golf is great but to me it's the people and employees at cheekwood that have made the experience even better. They treat everyone out their with respect and you feel as if your a part of the family. In my opinion it's the place to be in Williamson County if you want a fun relaxed environment. This place is on the verge of being the spot and I'm glad I get the privilege to play out here and watch it change.
Great golf course
The greens are beautiful & challenging! Good for all levels of ability!
Cheekwood
Well maintained. But after a rain, there are soggy patches. Men's Senior League is awesome with some great gentlemen. Staff are great and as a member they get to know you by more than name.
A well kept secret in Franklin TN
I have been playing at Cheekwood (formerly Spencer Creek) for several years. The new owners have made amazing improvements in a short time with more to come. Cheekwood is such a well maintained 9 hole course. It is a challenging course for those of us who are seniors....and for those who are young enough and skilled enough to play from the blue tees it is extremely challenging. The staff is friendly, very professional,l and eager to make your golfing experience as enjoyable as possible. Give Cheekwood a try....you will not be disappointed.
Perfect beginner to intermediate golfer
This course is a wonderful place to WALK. Now to ride in a cart without a hot deal is a waste of money. $50 to play 18 with cart on a par 33 course is out of line. Saying this, I do feel that we need a place like this for beginners and schools or private events. Women would enjoy this course tremendously. The length is perfect for juniors or women. If you would like to walk this course, then it is an easy walk. Flat throughout. Enjoy the walk and a day with friends, but do not waste your money on riding a cart. You will feel like you got a bad deal unless you use the hot deal. I am an ex class A golf pro.
Great for shorter course
I have played this course for several years and the new owners who took over just a little over a year ago have made excellent progress in making this a very nice course. Fairways are well kept, greens are good and new sand traps make the course a little more of a challenge. More to come from the new owners, and am anxious to see the course a year or so from now.
the best
I like the convent trip from my home, the senior league, and the fun and pleasure I have had meeting people.
Really Good
I enjoyed my first experience. Staff was friendly and pace of play was good. This is a short course and pretty low on the difficulty scale, but conditions of the course were really good. If I were taking a beginner out to play this is where I would bring them. Just keep in mind chipping and putting area only. No driving range.
A jewel on the Harpath
Cheekwood is a challenging 9 hole course with well kept fairways and greens. The new owners have improved this course 100% I love the landscaping and the new bunkers are something of beauty to see but not be in! A morning veiw is like all the promo shots you see on TV! Rolling fairways and green every where you look! I have become a member and play nearly every day. New golf carts with GPS help you a navigate and give you yardages to green. Try it, you'll like it!
Rip off
$29 for 9 holes for an executive course is absurd. $58 for 2 players. We had members golfing behind us on our 10 min wait to tee of on the 6th hole and their jaws dropped when I told them what we paid. From the beginning to end it was painful..paying in the proshop to having to sign my DL number for the cart. Seriously...I did not do it. All the ads on the GPS screen to hit just to get back to the correct hole. labor intensive to say the least. Greens were below average. Greens keeper drove by right next to us when we were putting and did not even stop for courtesy sake. Wave at least. I give this course new owenership 1 year...they will be gone. Rip off. never come back again.
Fun course in Franklin, TN!
Cheekwood is a great 9 hole course out in Franklin, TN. The new ownership has done a fantastic job and this course is really fun to play. It is great for a quick 9 or 18 holes and you can definitely work on your short game. I would recommend this course to anyone in the Nashville area!
Neat Experience
Cheekwood Golf Club definitely exceeded my expectations. I thought the staff was responsive, course layout is gorgeous and location easy to find.
Course Condition is Improving
The condition of the course has been improving under new ownership. Still some bad spots on greens, but can tell they are working on it. Pace of play was good with exception of a threesome in front of me that I skipped a hole to pass and move on. Staff is very helpful and seems to desire to please.
Yuck
Best thing about this course is the golf carts...very nice...overhead storage...in cart gps system
The course however is terrible....it's like playing in my backyard...if my backyard was a bad golf course
Only 9 holes...and short
Course is in awful condition, especially considering it's JUNE...should be pristine. Unacceptable.
Rough spots everywhere... Even on the greens...lots of damaged ground.
Certain bridges/paths are out of order
Drainage obviously is bad because it's like 85 degrees and hasnt rained in a while...but it's very soggy around the greens. Like hitting from a swamp in some spots.
Definitely not worth paying full price...glad i got a hot deal
People who say this is a nice course clearly dont play golf at nice courses...because Cheekwood is terrible.
You can find better
Good value
I was able to get the hot deal at $16 for 18 holes and cart fee. I don't think I would pay the regular $45 rate but they are doing upgrades so I will play again

JarrixD, did you not realize you were playing an executive 9 hole golf course that had just been renovated? I played this weekend and everything seemed dry to me.
