Awesome

A true pleasure to play this beautiful course. It is links style, so it has a tricky layout, but it is fun. The scenery is beautiful and the staff and grounds crew were very friendly. I’d highly recommend Gaylord Springs!!

Amazing

This course is one of the best in the area. Wide open fairways and a great layout. A few holes had newer sod around the green but it was easy to miss. Definitely worth the money and worth the drive. Will recommend to anyone and will play again.

Great course, a must play if in Nashville

Course was doing some upgrades to the course so a couple of holes were closed. Even with that the course was in excellent condition and very playable. Can be a very tough course from the back tees especially if it is wet. Plays over 7000 yards and you do not get that much role when wet. So it plays more like 7500/7600 when wet from the back tee. Course is open for the most part and has several risk/ reward holes. I think it is a very fun course to play for anyone due to the several tee options.

Disappointed

Have played this course several times and it is always in great condition. today was very disappointing as they had 3 holes closed and no notification when the tee time was purchased! Round should have been discounted deeper than it was!

First Time, Won't be my last! Fast Greens

First impressions driving down the hill is wonderful. First time playing a links style course. Practice area is awesome, carts are very nice, layout is a little tight but only had 2 close call. There is a lot of maintenance work going on throughout many areas of the course. Really look forward to seeing the course later in the year. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Windy day but a great day!

Tell us what we're getting

Very disappointed.... Drove 180 miles one way to play with a friend at a nice place only to find 2 holes closed and they should have closed the others as well. First... who plays 16 holes? Second, how is golf hard when EVERY hole (I think) has multiple huge areas that have been re-sodded and you're told to move the ball you hit into the junk into drop zones in the fairway and most of the time closer to the hole or the fringe of the green. Tell us before we pay what conditions we are going to be playing in.... and don't feel justified by saying you reduced the green fee by 2/18'ths.... Greens were great.... and I'm sure the course will look and be outstanding once everything is finished and grown in....... but in the meantime :(

Gaylord

Loved the layout of the course. Only 16 of 18 holes were open due to bunker repairs. Very nice facility. Greens are in great shape and are like ice.

Amazing Greens, , Good test of golf, Errors of Omission

I really enjoyed this course. A good blend of challenge and fairness. Maybe it was timing but the fairways were soaking wet. I got tired of cleaning mud off my ball and getting no roll on my drives. The greens were perhaps the smoothest I have ever played. They had two holes closed and a par four changed to a par three with a temporary green but no mention of it when we paid our greens fees.

A tale of two experiences

First I have to say I love this course. Third time playing it over the last two years. Last year we played it as part of my future son-in-law's bachelor day and had a great time. My brother is a 5 handicap and plays all the best courses in the U.S. and even Scotland. He said if he lived in Nashville Gaylord Springs would be his home course he liked it so much. So I was excited to play it today.

Heavy rains the previous 3 days made the course a bit soggy and cart path only for carts. No worries, I get it. The disappointing part of the round is that there is some major construction going on. Two holes on the back nine are closed and one other is being played with a temporary hole (which I despise), so could only play 15 holes. The web site and pro shop were both very forthcoming about this which I appreciated very much.

All that said, the course is in very nice shape, the greens roll very true and pretty fast, despite the rains. I played the blue tees and they are fair but challenging. Rough is forgiving, though when you miss the fairway the links style hills can make finding your ball a challenge. The only balls I lost were in lakes due to errant shots on my part!

Pro shop staff and the starter are very friendly and helpful. The Grill is excellent and service very fast and friendly, despite COVID limitations.

I still love this course and will definitely be back, but not until they finish the construction.

Fun Round

Gaylord is always a great round of golf for me. The course has been very wet this Spring but as soon as it dries out, it will be spectacular. The greens are already in great shape and are very fast. Very fun day and can’t wait to go back.

Course is being worked on to make it even better. The greens are in phenomenal shape with lightening speed. Recommend to everyone, but stay below the hole if you want to score and bring your flat stick game!

Beautiful day for 16 holes

This course is always beautiful. No doubt one of the best courses in the Nashville area. I had booked knowing about the course construction on the front 9, expecting to play the back 9, twice. However they’ve opened up 7 of the holes on the front 9 “to get more people out” which translates to “make more money” and you only get to play a total of 16 holes. They said the prices are discounted to represent this, however they’re the same as they were when you used to play two 9’s.

Conditions are beautiful. Worth playing if you don’t mind it being cut short a bit and not knowing what your true 18 hole score would be.

Front nine under renovation

Still using back nine twice for 18 hole round.

Major renovations going on the front nine, should be even more incredible than it was before, I can’t wait. Staff is very accommodating and aware or our concerns about limited holes. Open date was projected for 4/8/20, when I played. It looks a long way from being completed.

IMO, Gaylord Springs will be taking their time to complete this job, and just may do the same renovations on the back when this is done. I say this because the Coronavirus pandemic will keep most golfers away for most of this 2020 year. Not to mention, all of the visitors/golfers that would normally be staying at Gaylord Opryland Hotel, would play golf here.

Definitely still worth playing, use different tees the 2nd time around, conditions were good, greens were excellent as usual.
