About this course

Harpeth Hills Golf Course is a municipal facility located in the southwestern portion of Nashville, Tennessee, set within the rolling terrain characteristic of the region's landscape. The course was designed by Gary Roger Baird and opened in 1965, serving as one of the city's public golf options for nearly six decades. The property occupies land that features the natural elevation changes and wooded corridors typical of Middle Tennessee's topography. The layout plays across hilly ground with fairways that move through stands of mature hardwoods and native vegetation. The routing takes advantage of the natural contours, creating holes that require golfers to manage uphill and downhill lies as well as navigate doglegs shaped by the terrain. Several holes play along ridgelines or down into valleys, giving the course a distinctly regional character that reflects the Harpeth River valley area from which it takes its name. As a municipal course, Harpeth Hills serves a broad cross-section of Nashville's golfing community, from beginners to experienced players seeking an affordable option with genuine shot-making demands. The facility operates as part of the city's public golf system and provides a straightforward golf experience without extensive amenities beyond the essentials. The course remains a fixture in Nashville's public golf landscape, offering accessible play on terrain that provides more challenge and variety than many flat municipal layouts.

Getting there

Harpeth Hills Golf Course sits within easy reach of Nashville International Airport (BNA), a straightforward thirty-minute drive northwest through the rolling terrain that defines Middle Tennessee's landscape. The route traces modern thoroughfares before surrendering to the quieter, tree-lined roads that wind through the gently undulating countryside surrounding the club, where the Harpeth River's presence shapes both the topography and the character of the land. Private aviation options at nearby Cornelia Fort Airfield (CHA) offer a more intimate arrival for those traveling by charter. The final miles unfold through pastoral Nashville suburbs, the transition from urban sprawl giving way to the manicured grounds and mature oaks that frame Harpeth Hills' welcoming entrance.
