True links layout with a lot of water around. Greens were in good shape but rest of the course was quite dry. Steep price tag but cool track.

Golf at hermitage will certainly be a unique experience. The course is shared between golfers and free roaming sheep that graze in the high grass and lay in the shade. Shockingly I did not run into any sheep shit and the round was incredibly pleasant.

Hermitage is one of the best public golf courses you can get in Tennessee. Just 30 minutes outside of national sits this hidden gem. Very reasonable price for the quality of the course.

How we rank
This ranking uses published scorecard data from each course’s longest men’s tees, the same tee set for every course. Only 18-hole courses with a yardage for every hole, a total that matches the hole-by-hole sum, and a par between 54 and 80 are included, and the tees must carry a single slope rating (55–155) and course rating. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by slope rating, then course rating, then Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Springfield, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
