Gaylord Opryland Resort & Conference Center

Great clubhouse and surrounding practice area. Greens were in good shape for the most part, and rolled nice. Some fairways and some paths need work, and no range balls($10 for an small) included for a $125+ round made it not worth the price.

Only positive was it wasn’t cart path only. Based on fairway conditions, it should have been. It would’ve made pace of play intolerable.

The only time anyone on staff recognized me, was when I paid my greens fee and was 10-12 minutes off pace and told to pick up the pace, even though we were not holding up the group behind us. The first time I had to wait was when we got back on pace according to the cart gps. I couldn’t get anyone’s attention at the turn to get something to eat or drink and my group was slow enough, I had no time to order/eat it anyway. I recommend bringing your own food and drink to save time. A side note: a local warned me not to tee up drives in the grass tees when the mats are to be used. Plan on getting creative to hit some drivers before your round.

Top shelf golf course, atmosphere and staff. Driving into Gaylord Springs you recognize you are in a different class of venues. Course is in immaculate condition as viewed from the road that winds through many holes of the course. Greens are elevated, quick and true. Bunkers filled with perfect amounts of white sand. Cumberland River boarders the course on 4 holes for some picturesque views. Cost is on the higher side but is a great track. Don’t forget to bring your A game. Lots of challenges every hole!

Excellent! Tough course and well maintained. Will bring another group here again!

What could be better than this, nice course along the Cumberland River. Scenic and peaceful. I played as a solo and didn't catch up to another group until. The 16th hole. Priced high so value is hard to meet at that price but I did enjoy the course.

Starter let a 3 some tee off, a single after him, and then tells us we “should’ve been told we were running 20 minutes behind”.

Something not adding up lol.

Great course, well maintained, and beautiful scenery. Cart beverages were available on a week day which is a huge plus. The pace of play kept going off and you get a way better deal booking directly with them. The down side is it is hard to find the link to book a tee time directly on my phone and they do not do reservations over the phone. I think it’s the best course I have played in the area and I have played every day this week at a different course.

Gaylord is overpriced and not worth the money anymore.

I would rate this course so much higher if it wasn’t for the customer service in the pro shop. We were the second tee time and when we arrived you could see a lot of the sprinklers running on the fairways which seemed normal. When we paid nothing was said about the course conditions. When we were ready to tee off the starter says “by the way did they tell you in the pro shop it was cart path only?” We told him no and continued. Around hole number 8 a ranger came by and I told him how unhappy we were not being told about the no cart path rules before we paid and my buddy was having a hard walking due to him being a disabled Vet. He called the pro shop on his radio and nothing was said. He advised me it would be best to go into the pro shop when we made the turn. I believe I spoke with was either the pro or manager l believe named Jim suggested he instruct his staff to notify customers before they pay of the no cart path restrictions and told him about my buddy’s problem walking. His reply you should have told us before you started and I said well if you would’ve told us we definitely would’ve of told you and probably not played. He was very rude and gave no apologies. It’s ashamed because it’s a really nice course but we won’t be back.

Crew Very professional and helpfull. Amazing course and greens!

Course was in great shape. Great layout. Played 6655 tees. Receptive fairways. Nice size greens. Would definitely come back. Only downside is weekends members let you know it’s 5 hours. They don’t move people along.

This was my first time playing this course and I enjoyed every hole. Discourse as well maintain and fun to play auto challenging. I would definitely play this course again and it is worth every dollar. Staff was excellent from the starter to the grill.

If you’re planning on staying at the Gaylord Opry hotel then go ahead and set a tee time at Gaylord Springs! The price is right and the course is in great condition. Links style course that is challenging enough for better players but also wide open for newer players or higher handicaps. There is a shuttle service that will pick you up and take you back to the hotel from the course. Definitely recommend playing this track!

With a heat index of 105, there are far too many holes that are cart path only. Additionally, you cannot take the cart within 75 yards of the green. Gaylord Springs Golf links needs to fix this to make the course more player friendly.
