Hole 1

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway As a rule, great golf courses begin with a strong par 4 and Nashville Golf certainly is no exception. The opening hole is a true attention-getter! A 4-star beauty which offers an indication of the various challenges to follow. A player who drives to the crest of the hill is better served if the ball is left of center in the fairway. From this position, the slender green, protected by a lake on the

Hole 2

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway This straightaway par 4 is played into the prevailing southerly winds. Mounds along the left side of the fairway often protect an errant shot from the out-of-bounds stakes but a well-placed drive is center or right-center. Bunkers are in the front and rear. The contour of the green slopes smartly toward the left front. There is a tendency to under-club on the approach shot. If the pin is located t

Hole 3

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway The first of 5 pure 3-shot par 5's on the course. Two fairway bunkers guard the right side of the fairway. The fairway graciously flows with the gentle sloping mounds so the distance of the second shot must be decided in order to determine direction. The third shot from the rough can be disastrous. The undulating green is wide but very shallow. It is designed to accept short iron shots and is prot

Hole 4

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway This hole is often regarded as the strongest of the par 4's. It is uphill from tee to the fairway landing area requiring both length and accuracy to reach the sharply sloping green in 2 shots. The plateau landing area for the drive is protected on the right by a lateral hazard and the left rough leaves an awkward below your feet stance for a long iron or fairway wood to the narrow entrance of the

Hole 5

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway The shortest of the front nine par 4's. The strength of this hole is it's severe slope and lightning-fast putting surface. An elevated tee box provides a perfect view of the dogleg left which requires a 140-yard carry to reach the fairway. The approach shot plays from a position well below the green guarded tightly by bunkers. Your approach shot should be played BELOW the pin. Putts from above the

Hole 7

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway The fairway bends slightly to the left and is the only par 5 without fairway bunkers. The danger from this tee is to the left and the second shot must be played out to the right to avoid a brook. A fairly long second shot must avoid the two large Stonehenge like rocks on the right side of the fairway. Green side bunkers are to the right front and back left fringe side of the green including a seve

From The Tee The putting surface for this outstanding par 3 is not visible from the tee. The huge bunker at the left front and the elevated right rear bunker afford the player a clear view from trouble. It is uphill all the way and the depressed fairway across the front of the green will hold any ball that lands short of the entrance to the green.

Hole 9

Hole Name

From The Tee From the tee this hole offers another spectacular view and a truly fine challenge for closing out the front nine. A well placed drive of 215 yards will leave you with a shot around 150 yards to the green. Long hitters who move the ball past the plateau are confronted with a down hill lie to a green both narrow and protected by bunkers front and rear. Again, there is no chance to roll the ball into

Hole 10

Hole Name

From The Tee A lake from tee to green adds zest to this Par 3. Proper club selection is essential because the green is only 42 feet deep, yet over 170 foot wide and there is little room for error off the tee. In addition to the water hazard in front, bunkers at the rear demand accurate club selection. The green is at an angle towards the tee and there is a difference of four clubs depending on pin locations. T

Hole 11

Hole Name

From The Tee This is the only Par 4 on the course with a blind tee shot. An acceptable target for the drive is the gap in the far away hills. The fairway is protected by a small forest on the left and a hillside on the right. There is a tendency, as on the 2nd hole, for the golfer to under club their approach iron. A grass green-side bunker is in front of the green and a bunker is at the rear. This enormous gr

Hole 12

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway The dogleg right challenges #1 and #4 as the most difficult par 4 on the course. Gradually uphill all the way, the fairway is guarded by a bunker on the elbow of the dogleg. Well-placed drives are right center of the fairway presenting a long iron or second shot fairway wood which frequently must clear trees and always carries huge bunkers in front of the green. This is truly one of the most deman

Hole 13

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway The high elevated tee contains 13 bunkers along with a boundary out to the right. The fairway is infested with two sets of bunkers which demand your drive and second shot play to the center contour of this abruptly dog-legging fairway. The third shot, approximately 100 yards, is to another green designed for a short approach. Seven bunkers guard all four sides of the green. Pin placement locations

From The Tee

From The Fairway This elevated tee affords the luxury for a view of miles of Tennessee countryside as well as the view of this Par 5 and the course lakes in the foreground. The green is reached in two shots more often than any other par 5. Your drive should be placed right center of the fairway for proper position of the second shot. A large, solitary cherry tree must be avoided on the left and a long fairway bunk

Hole 16

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway An excellent testy Par 4, this hole includes a double lateral water hazard on the left and three fairway bunkers to the right. The big hitters may gamble on carrying a corner of the lake but a better line is towards the right corner of the second fairway bunker. Again, the huge green, largest on the course, is protected by a series of bunkers front left and right. The putting surface slopes forwar

Hole 17

Hole Name

From The Tee A deep bunker in the front and a broad bunker at the rear protect this green which is highlighted by a severely sloping putting surface. A long, high tee shot is required to put the ball close to the hole as there is no chance of a run up shot being effective. The green must be read properly to have any chance of making a birdie. Par here is a common score.

Hole 18

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway This Par 5 can be a round-maker or a heart-breaker. The drive is blind over the slope and most pars come when the opening shot is played on a line toward the willow tree, visible from the tee. A grove of century-old trees overhang the fairway on the right side forcing the second shot to be played cautiously left. Drives frequently come to rest on downhill lies and the player must beware of playing
