Has it all

Gaylord Springs is pretty cool. Four tees to really dial-in your abilities to match desired challenge. Water features and trees on enough holes to make the layout interesting but not overwhelming. Our foursome (5 to 10 handicaps) didn’t lose a ball. Two beverage carts keep the thirst at bay. Finally, the course is about 15 min. drive from the airport facilitating getaway tee times. I teed off at noon, finished at 4:30pm, returned rental car at 4:50pm, boarded my flight home at 5:50pm

Great layout

Course was pretty fun. Some great holes and not many bad ones. Great greens. Pace was pretty dismal at 5 hours.

Cart girls were scarce and miserable.

Links style with lightning greens

My son and I stopped in Nashville during a cross country golf road trip and chose Gaylord Springs as our course of the day. Very cool links style layout with lots of mounding and very undulating greens. Not any easy course to navigate without using a GPS app, especially off the tee. Fairways are all pretty wide and really well maintained with lots of roll when you hit them. It was kind of gusty the day we played, so hitting a lower tee shot was beneficial, not sure if this is the usual. Overall, great course that'll make you want to snap your putter. Pro shop personnel were friendly, but cart kid made no effort to do anything about loading or unloading. I definitely recommend!

Thieves

I booked a time for 4 golfers then needed to change it to 2, GN customer service was excellent and the adjusted the reservation. The rate was 89.00 and GN billed me $89 with balance due at the course. When I go to pay they charged me $155.00 the guy behind the counter claimed GN keeps 20%. I didn’t know if that was true or not but I paid $244.00 for two golfers!

Overpriced

Not worth the cost. Better courses in similar shape for half the costs.

Spectacular

Amazing course in perfect shape. Charging for range balls is a little tacky at a high end course but otherwise A+.

Slow play without correction

Would not correct slow play as the Marshall told us they were keeping pace.

Offensive Price

I've played Gaylord plenty of times, but when I saw they're charging $141 for a round there, I was so offended I felt the need to write this review. It's a solid course on a smallish piece of property with some interesting holes, but many of them are right on top of each other. It's well maintained and their greens are always great, but in no way shape or form should anyone pay $141 for this place. I thought it was bananas when they were charging $100, but now they're like $40 more than Hermitage (which is a better course). Absurd

Rude golf shop staff

I play Gaylord Springs very infrequently due to less than friendly bag staff and golf shop staff. Played this round with a friend that likes the course. I would not book this course myself. The rudeness of staff has not changed in 3-4 years. I was hoping it might have improved over time but it has not. Staff are not welcoming or congenial and give you the impression they are doing you a favor by letting you play their course. Golf shop staff doesn’t give a welcoming impression and seldom speaks during interaction. Actually threw the cart key on to counter at me. Since the course is affiliated with Marriott, their actions are very disappointing. Marriott management needs to reiterate and retrain the staff in customer service or perhaps replace them. I’ve played over 300 courses across the country and this is rudest staff I can recall encountering. Their actions are also contrary to what I’ve experienced with Marriott as a lifetime Platinum member.

Great experience from out of town.

I had a blast playing this course. Top notch service, wonderful staff. The course was in phenomenal condition. We played in a downpour for the front nine, but the back cleared up. We had a great time. Only complaint is that I paid something like $25 for a small bucket of range balls, after dropping $120-130 on the round, which seems excessive. Also, no rye bourbon at the bar is a sin. Will definitely be back, thank you so much!
