About this course
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.

Getting there
Cheekwood Golf Club sits just south of Nashville, accessible via Nashville International Airport (BNA), roughly thirty minutes north by car through the rolling countryside of Williamson County. The drive south from the airport traces a gentle descent through Tennessee's pastoral landscape, where open pastures and tree-lined estates signal the transition from urban sprawl into the affluent enclaves surrounding Franklin. Private aviation options at nearby Williamson County Airport (JWN) offer a more discreet arrival for those seeking to bypass the main terminal. The final miles unfold along quiet country roads that wind past manicured grounds and limestone fences, delivering you to Cheekwood's gates with the unhurried grace befitting one of Tennessee's most prestigious private clubs.
