McCabe Golf Course


About this course
McCabe Golf Course, split by the meandering Richland Creek in the heart of West Nashville, offers a tale of two nines, where locals have honed their game for over half a century. The original Middle and North nines present a classic, mid-century parkland experience, demanding strategic play across rolling terrain framed by mature hardwoods. While not gracing the headlines of major championships, McCabe's charm lies in its accessibility and the dedication of its community. Architect John Floyd, in 1969, crafted a layout that rewards thoughtful approaches and deft short game skills. Favoring the shot maker that keeps the ball low and under the wind along the Harpeth river bottoms, the course remains largely unchanged, and challenges a walker with some difficult green to tee transitions. Beyond the golf, McCabe is known for its laid-back atmosphere. It is a place where multi-generational families pass down not just clubs, but also a love for the game, where a quick nine after work is as valued as a weekend round. The club’s unpretentious nature is reflected in its simple fare, offering a welcoming environment for golfers of all skill levels.
