Unreasonable People / Policies

I just wanted to warn people not to expect any understanding or compassion from the people at Saddle Creek. I had a tee time to play Saddle Creek on Saturday 4/23 but was unable to make it due to my wife unexpectedly going into labor on Friday night several weeks before her due date. I tried to cancel online on Friday night as soon as I knew that I wasn’t going to be able to make it but was unable to as it was within 24 hrs of the tee time. I then made a point to call the course prior to my tee time on Saturday morning and was told that I could reschedule my tee time for another time that day (Ha! So helpful!) or would be charged the full price of the round — even though I highly doubt that my tee time cost them any business as there were multiple tee times available in the hour after mine on the morning of the round. I understand the reason for cancellation policies, but I also would hope for some understanding from people when unforeseen circumstances arise. I hope they enjoy my $60 because it is the last dollar they will ever see from me.

Nicholas,

We have went to a strict cancellation policy due to numerous no shows in years past. We are very understanding and I'm not sure your circumstances were communicated to our staff. Would be more than happy to re-schedule your time to another week or month, especially with a new baby. Contact Brandon, our GM, and he will re-schedule you for another time. We hope everyone is doing well.

Thank you for playing SCGC and providing honest feedback. We agree it would be nice to have open as well, but it's a separate entity that controls their own hours. We do have beer, drinks, snacks available in the pro shop.

Course condition

Course was about in average shape but that's probably due to the fact everything still dormant due to the crazy weather we've had warm cold warm cold wet dry wet. The greens were in remarkably great shape but they were really really slow oh, I would recommend the course cutting those down a little bit and maybe rolling them and they would probably be some of the best greens around. Course played at a very fast pace that was not very busy even on a Saturday the range was in really good shape other than a few bare spots on the tee boxes which that will all grow in as well.

Paul1146006,

Thank you for playing Saddle Creek Golf Club and providing us with valuable feedback. We will always strive to do our best in the operations and maintenance of the course. We lowered the height of the mower Friday to 0.130, but we have been having issues with some poa annua. We look forward to seeing you back soon!

No thanks

Course has an easy layout so thought it be a decent course to practice some swing changes on. Course played as hoped, but the greens were so incredibly slow they were virtually unplayable. Ever watch videos of Snead or Palmer back in the 50’s or 60’s putting on greens that look as hairy as todays fairways? It was like that. You’d need to hinge your wrists on lag putts. And good luck reading the breaks with the ball bouncing around everywhere. These greens need a good cut and some legit rolling before they’re actually playable. I’m going to need a whole putting practice session on a real green to recalibrate after that nonsense. If that’s the norm, it’s not worth the drive from Nashville.

Thank you for playing Saddle Creek Golf Club and providing us with valuable feedback. We will always strive to do our best in the operations and maintenance of the course. We lowered the height of the mower to 0.130 Friday morning. We are having issues with Poa Annua and by the afternoon it has blossomed back out. We are taking more action with it Monday to reduce this issue. Would like for you come back and enjoy Saddle Creek Golf Club on us. Call the pro shop and we'll get this resolved.

Worth the drive south of Nashville

The pace of play is always great in this small town 1 hour south of Nashville, TN. It has a fun layout, several unique holes and is usually in great condition.

First time playing and will definitely be back. The 30 mph winds made it extremely difficult. Other than the slow foursome ahead, it was a good day.

Just a GEM!!!

Imagine a course that plays well if you hit your clubs like you should, greens that roll like they should, and a GROUNDS CREW that worked through the winter for you...there you have it...
Wish i could be able to play this course in season, it will be magnificent...your biggest challenge will be to not get too greedy with some shots...the fish will be waiting along the ponds and streams you will see add to the course and its challenges...could use better signage transitioning from hole to hole, but you will see a number of both dimes sized greens to larger greens...putts rolled on line...

If you see this and live within an hours drive, do so...nice to have a NON MAT driving range as well...

Like all courses, do pay close attention to the WEATHER MOHTER NATURE delivers before you play since it does have streams and ponds...

ENJOY!!!
