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.

Towhee Club doesn’t pretend to be anything it’s not - an unpretentious, fun vibe backed by genuine, southern-warm hospitality. Apparently this place was pretty beat up prior to its post-2020 overhaul, but the renovation injected life back into the property.

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.

Price for this course and condition it was in during November was great. Greens were well maintained, some challenging tight holes off the tee box that opened up.

Best value private membership in middle Tennessee. Currently under some renovations post the transition from public to private. Course conditions have improved significantly from their public level. Bones are good on this course…

Easy play after work. Fun and casual par 3. Clearly designed for young, beginner golfers, but does not make it any less enjoyable.

Does not play terribly for having so many hills. Strange lack of bunkers. Feels like the course was cramped together
