About this course

The Golf Club of Tennessee is a modern testament to championship-caliber play carved from the rolling hills of Kingston Springs, a landscape more akin to rural Kentucky than the bustle of Nashville. Opened in 1991, the course presents a stern but fair test, characterized by generous fairways that belie the strategic complexities awaiting on approach. Fades are subtly rewarded here, as gentle doglegs often favor those who can shape the ball with a controlled right-to-left flight. Designed by PGA Tour legend Mark McCumber and Hubert Green, the course blends seamlessly with the surrounding terrain. Bentgrass greens, known for their undulating surfaces and true roll, are the course's hallmark. While the club has not hosted major professional championships, it has been a respected stop for top amateur events and a proving ground for aspiring professionals, solidifying its reputation within the regional golf community. The Golf Club of Tennessee cultivates an intimate atmosphere, with a membership drawn from the Nashville area’s business and entertainment elite. The vibe is understated and relaxed, a respite from the city's frenetic energy. Members often recount impromptu matches that stretch into twilight, followed by convivial gatherings in the clubhouse, where local bourbons and tall tales flow freely, cementing the club's position as a haven for both serious golf and relaxed camaraderie.

Getting there

The Golf Club of Tennessee is most readily accessed via Nashville International Airport (BNA), situated approximately 45 minutes to the northwest, a straightforward drive that carries you from the urban pulse of Music City into the rolling countryside of Cheatham County. Private aviation clients benefit from nearby Cornelia Fort Airfield (JWN) and other regional strips that serve Nashville's affluent corridors, offering a more discreet arrival into this pastoral corner of Middle Tennessee. The final approach winds through gentle, tree-lined roads that frame the Cumberland River valley, the landscape shifting from suburban periphery to genuine countryside as you draw near Kingston Springs, where the club's understated entrance marks the threshold into a sanctuary of championship golf and Southern hospitality.
