Montgomery Bell State Park

I was very disappointed in the overall condition of the course. Other than the greens, the place is a mess. I think we counted one tee box with grass on it.

Staff is nice. About the only thing I can say about it. Drove from Nashville (45min)out to this course in the country. Once I saw the driving range. I knew we were in trouble. After the first hole we waited about 5-10 minutes per hole...alot of doubles and singles playing. After nine holes and seeing that there were 3 groups waiting to take the turn, decided it wasn't even worth getting a rain check. Will never be back..

Played this course 3 years ago for the first time and was very impressed; played it for the second time this past weekend and was extremely disappointed. Fairways cut to close for winter, bunkers not raked, leaves everywhere, and debris on greens everywhere.

Overall everything thing is in usual shape. Would like to see better tee boxes

I was down in Dickson visiting some family. Stopped in to play 9, and it was unexpected how beautiful the course was. I came back the next day and played again. For a course in the middle of a state park, I would 100% play again

Overall, the greens were really good. A couple could use some love. Most all of the tee boxes needed to be redone. Good value for the money.

Went to play my 9am tee time as a solo and asked to play alone was told no. Was told I had to play with a random person and after being charged for a golf cart was told I had to ride with the random person I didn’t know. The old man was rude and did not want to compromise what so ever. The women at the front desk were super nice and told me they didn’t think that would’ve been a problem at all and blamed it on him being stressed. The women gave me my refund and I left. Haven’t been back since. It’s one thing to force you to play with randoms. It’s totally different when forcing someone who paid for a golf cart to ride with someone they don’t even know. It’s very unfortunate as this is the closest course to me but not everyone is okay with playing with people they don’t know. I play at least once a week and would have loved to be a regular but I took my business elsewhere. I know they couldn’t care less just frustrating.

The course is a fun layout with 3 par 5s reachable in 2 with a good drive. Some of the par 4s are extremely long. Most of the tee boxes were nothing but dirt and the dirt was so hard, it made it difficult to put a tee in the ground. The fairways and greens were in great condition. If tee boxes are in such. bad shape, maybe they should replace them with grass mats.

Played Montgomery Bell for the first time. My take on it is:

1. Every green except for 3 of them were in great shape.

2. Tee boxes could use some love

3. Fairways were hard and fast...like hitting off of hardpan

4. Abundant wildlife all over the course

I would for sure play again!

My only negative is the amount of growth in the fairways.
