Cheekwood Course
Franklin, TN, USA





Carved into the rolling hills south of Nashville, Cheekwood Golf Club is a familiar name to locals who recognize its pedigree of accessible challenge and convivial atmosphere. The course is a classic parkland layout, routed through mature hardwoods and gently undulating terrain that offers respite from the busier parts of the county. The original design, a solid test for any skill level, has seen subtle refinements over the years to enhance playability while retaining its core character. While not a championship venue, Cheekwood remains a staple for amateur golfers seeking an enjoyable round in a scenic setting, with a few blind tee shots and contoured fairways adding an element of strategic thinking to an otherwise straightforward test. The club has fostered a loyal membership known for its unpretentious camaraderie. It's the kind of place where golf is the main draw, but where lasting friendships are forged over post-round drinks and casual gatherings.
