Country Hills Golf Club

Country Hills Golf Club sits in Hendersonville, a suburban community northeast of Nashville along the shores of Old Hickory Lake. The course was designed by Leon Howard, a Tennessee-based architect who worked primarily in the mid-South during the latter decades of the twentieth century. Howard's designs typically emphasize playability for a range of skill levels while working within the rolling terrain common to Middle Tennessee. The routing at Country Hills moves through gently rolling to moderately hilly land characteristic of the Nashville Basin's outer edges. The property features mature hardwoods and elevation changes that create natural separation between holes and require thoughtful club selection on approach shots. Water comes into play on several holes, reflecting the area's network of creeks and drainage patterns. The layout offers a mix of risk-reward opportunities and straightforward holes, with bunkering that frames landing areas and greens without overwhelming recreational players. Country Hills serves as a semi-private facility, providing both member and public access. The club functions as a neighborhood amenity and regional daily-fee option in Sumner County, an area that has seen considerable residential growth in recent decades. The course reflects the practical design sensibility of its era—focused on enjoyable golf within a suburban setting rather than championship length or severe hazards. It remains a local fixture for Hendersonville-area golfers seeking accessible play in a mature, tree-lined environment.
