Getting there
McCabe Golf Course sits just west of Nashville's urban core, accessible most directly from Nashville International Airport (BNA), a thirty-minute drive through the rolling terrain that defines Middle Tennessee's transition from city to countryside. The route carries you northwest from the airport along modern thoroughfares before yielding to quieter roads that wind through the gentle, tree-lined landscape surrounding the club's grounds. Private aviation options at nearby facilities offer a more discreet arrival for those seeking it, though the final approach to McCabe itself remains refreshingly understated - a marked departure from the bustle of Music City, yet close enough that Nashville's cultural pulse remains within easy reach. The club's setting captures that rare Nashville quality: proximity to urban amenities paired with the serene, manicured seclusion that serious golfers seek.
