Getting there
Heatherhurst Golf Club at Fairfield Glade is most readily accessed via Nashville International Airport (BNA), situated roughly ninety minutes to the northwest, a drive that carries you from the urban sprawl into the rolling plateau country of the Cumberland region. The route transitions gradually from interstate corridors into quieter state highways, then into the gated community of Fairfield Glade itself, where the landscape opens into the distinctive high-elevation terrain of the Tennessee plateau - a landscape of hardwood forests and dramatic elevation changes that define this private enclave. For those arriving by private aircraft, Crossville Memorial Airport (CSV) lies just twenty minutes away and offers a more intimate gateway to the region. The final miles wind through the manicured grounds of Fairfield Glade before arriving at Heatherhurst, where the club's elegant facilities emerge from the native woodland setting, a serene counterpoint to the journey's opening miles.
