About

Type Resort/Public
Style Links
Par 72
Length 6842 yards
Slope 133
Rating 73.1

The Cumberland River gave birth to the Scottish links-style Gaylord Springs Golf Links, a par-72 golf course that provides 18 testing holes that border limestone bluffs and wetlands protected by the feds. The golf course, designed by the former U.S. Open and PGA Champion Larry Nelson, has collected several distinctions over its days.

The big draw on the Gaylord Springs Golf Links is the signature fourth hole, home to the hundred-plus-year-old springhouse that gives the golf course its name.

After a round on the Gaylord Springs Golf Links, head back to the 43,000-square-foot antebellum-style clubhouse to shop, dine, and take in the views of the golf course.

Poor condition and expensive

Very disappointed in the condition of this course. The greens were very rough and full of marks and dents, and the old pin positions were poorly repaired. The fairways were average at best, with many unfilled divots. Another golfer said there had been some flooding in the course recently which might explain some of the poor conditions, but for an expensive resort course you would expect much better.

The layout is fair, although water is in play on several holes. Bunker conditions were very good, with some deep greenside traps that are best avoided.

The course was dry, but was restricted to cart path only, which really slows the pace of play. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the pro shop and restaurant are very nice.

This is probably a great course when it is in better condition, but for over $100 you are better to drive to Springfield or Dickson.

A shame...

Really hate leaving such a review, but felt like my experience should be shared as I'd have never booked a round her had I read a review like this. I'll start with this, the golf course itself, layout, condition, etc is what I expected. It's a solid layout and for winter golf, was in great shape. That's the reason for the second star, nothing else I encountered was even remotely close to deserving the second star. The pace of place was the absolute worst I've ever encountered in my golfing life. I have an extensive background in the golf industry and I understand things like cart path only can make pace a little slower than normal, but an hour to play 3 holes, one being a 135 yard par 3, is ridiculous. We saw the "player assistant" constantly and finally asked him on the 5th tee why the group in front of us was so out of position. He did then go and ask them to speed up, but the damage was done...after taking over 2 hours to complete 7 holes, my wife and I were so fed up with it, that I simply decided to call my $200 I paid to play "money spent and a lesson learned" and made the decision to call it a day. We then decided that since we still had a little time allotted to our day, that we'd sit at the grill and have lunch. I can say the staff at the bar were very polite and great...but the food experience was unimaginable. Again, not trying to be too over the top with negativity, but this is by far the worst food experience I've ever had in relation to expectation vs reality. I feel certain the food was prepared well in advance and then just microwaved to service. We had basic items I figured any decent level golf course could serve easily, and it was atrocious. Chili cheese fries that there was no way the fries were just prepared and the then topped. Chicken quesadilla that was nor better than gas station/frozen meal prepared in a microwave worthy. Potato salad that was obviously put into a single service cup days ago and then pulled out and served. Meanwhile, it was all served on paper plates, with plastic utensils. All in all, I spent $300 for 7 holes of golf at the worst pace I've ever encountered, and a meal I wouldn't rank above a middle of nowhere gas station.

Great Condition Public Course

This course is fun and challenging. Almost every shot has some sort of hazard or OB in play and the layout is inventive. The pace of the greens and pin placement when I played were really challenging. I haven’t 3 putted that much in a long time. I’m ready to come back and try to get a better round together.

A Really Good Time

The course is great; the greens were in great condition, each hole is fairly open, but still challenging with hills and such. they have a driving range, practice putting and chipping. The course was really wet, but that was due to multiple days of rain and likely playing in December. The dark biege rough threw me off a bit as the pictures didn't depict that, but it was a welcomed surprise
