Located just 20 minutes north of Nashville, Country Hills Golf Club in Hendersonville is not only conveniently situated, it also offers a challenging round for golfers of all skill levels. The narrow fairways demand accuracy, especially on the front nine's tricky par 4s. The holes on the back nine are somewhat more open but those benefits are offset by a variety of well-placed hazards and hillier terrain that make it the more challenging of the two nines. Playing with someone who is familiar with the course or at least thoroughly studying the scorecard beforehand would be helpful. Golfers should brace themselves for the especially treacherous second and 15th holes. To prepare for this formidable test, golfers can warm-up on the large driving range and putting green.

Nice Course!

I played this course recently and enjoyed it very much. It is not an easy course because of blind shots and narrow fairways. The fairways were in good condition. The rough was fairly thick, but the greens were very slow. Overall, I enjoyed the course and would recommend it to anyone.

Fantastic design with good upkeep

The architect did a great job utilizing the natural landscape which brought water into play on several holes and created a varied mix of terrain from hole to hole. Greens and fairways were well manicured and tees were decent. Conditions were wet, but the course drains very well. Pace of play was about 4.5 hours. Very challenging layout, but the greens were the biggest factor in difficulty-they were sloped severely in spots which created great short game and lag putt challenge. Every hole is different because of the hilly terrain. I will definitely be back to this one for a rematch.

The name says it all

Very hilly course with lots of elevation change and blind shots. Course was in very good condition, greens rolled true and the fairways were in great shape. Challenging track with relatively narrow fairways so driver is not needed on every hole. Be smart and layup when necessary you will still be able to attack the pins as the greens are very receptive.

Greens-would not have booked

The course condition was mainly due to heavy rain, which was out of their control. However information should have been provided prior to booking and prior to playing that the greens has been aerated.

Nice course

Tough course if you are not in the fairways. Rough was long and difficult to find a ball and worse to hit out of. Green were aerated a week or so ago and did not roll well. Still a nice challenging course. Staff was great. Sandwich at the turn was a great value.

Over hill and dale

We got a Golf Now hot deal to play this course. I am glad we did because the savings helped pay for the lost balls.

The staff was very nice and friendly. They answered all my questions.
This course is built into a TN hill/mountain. Which made the fairways challenging to hit. There is one hole that you have to hit the top of the hill and let it roll because if you hit the fairway straight on the ball rolls off the side of a hill. There are par 4s where you cant see the flag from the whites. Even the GPS went wonky on a couple of holes.

The grass was a bit long on the red tee boxes.

We had a fun time. Probably won't be back but only because we had to drive 30 minutes to get there and there are much closer course.

Barbara & Bruce Country Hills

My wife and I travel in our motorhome and play golf as much as we can in different states and cities. We were camping in Gallatin Tn. and the weather was perfect the day we played golf at Country Hills Golf Course, Hendersonville Tn. The course for a Tenn. course was in average condition. The green were very slow and you needed to keep the ball under the hole, what few sand traps there were were in average shape and easy to get out of. The staff was helpful and the club house and restaurant were average. The course is very hilly and had a number of uphill blind shots. I would recommend playing Country Hills Golf Course if you are in the Hendersonville Tn. area, average course and a great Hot Deal value.

Holy Blind Shots!!

Scheduled 36 holes, 5 days prior. A bet had to be settled on neutral territory, and it was definitely settled!! Hopefully he’s learned once and for all, don’t mess with a short knocker.
Way too many blind shots for me, even if I knew the course.
Fairways just plugged, greens were good.
Staff was great. Conditions were wet, storms came through for 2 days, course actually took it quite well.
Thanks to the staff for getting us a dry cart to start, and for letting us go off earlier for the 2nd 18
Short course, tight fairways, smaller greens-that are tricky, keep this course from being very vulnerable.
Enjoyed the rounds, but not sure I’ll be driving from the south side of Nashville to play a course with this many blind shots. That was frustrating, especially since it was path only, which was perfectly, ok according to conditions.
Enjoy your round!!

Always challenging

With the hills and some narrow fairways it is sometimes hard to keep ball in play so you play your best or else. Good course all around. The greens are looking good.
