About this course
Percy Warner Golf Course occupies a scenic hillside setting within Percy Warner Park, part of Nashville's extensive Warner Parks system in the southwestern portion of the city. The course was designed by Willard Byrd and opened in 1970 as a municipal facility. Byrd, a North Carolina-based architect active in the mid-twentieth century, created a routing that works with the property's rolling terrain and mature hardwood forest, characteristic of the Tennessee landscape. The layout moves through elevation changes and wooded corridors that define playing corridors and frame views across the surrounding parkland. The course measures just over 6,000 yards from the back tees and presents a traditional parkland test with tree-lined fairways and greens that reflect the design sensibilities of its era. Several holes play uphill or downhill, requiring golfers to account for slope in club selection and approach strategy. The natural topography creates variety in stance and shot-making throughout the round. As a public course within a popular urban park system, Percy Warner serves a broad range of Nashville-area golfers and visitors seeking an accessible round in a wooded, natural setting. The Warner Parks themselves were donated to Nashville in the 1920s by the children of Colonel Luke Lea and named in honor of Percy and Edwin Warner. The parks remain a recreational anchor for the city, and the golf course functions as one component of the larger preserve, which includes trails, picnic areas, and equestrian facilities.

Getting there
The journey to Percy Warner Golf Course begins at Nashville International Airport (BNA), a straightforward twenty-minute drive northwest into the rolling hills that frame Music City's urban edge. From downtown Nashville, the approach winds through Belle Meade's leafy neighborhoods before ascending into the Warner Parks system, where the landscape shifts from manicured suburban streets to open meadows and mature hardwood forest. The final mile traces a quiet park road that descends gently toward the course, revealing glimpses of fairways nestled within the natural topography - a serene counterpoint to the energy of the city left behind, and a fitting introduction to one of Nashville's most understated and beautifully situated public courses.
