Better than expected.

Few things: I played with a beginner woman. We played scramble style from the red tees, together. I'm typically a not-quite-tips player, but I'm comfortable up to 6600-6800 yards. These red tees were incredibly short - even for red tees. While this inhibits my review a little in that I didn't play the course the way I normally would, I think it's a good thing overall . She loved that she/we had the chance to make par on just about every hole with an ok drive and an ok 2nd shot. There wasn't much around as far as water or hazards. Simple, straight forward, no frills. Some negatives. GPS takes you miles out of the way and it's a bit confusing. The layout seems very basic. The fairways are pretty beat up even for this time of year. Some real positives though. The greens were in awesome shape. Bunkers too. The people were nice. The pace was Amazing. We played midday on a beautiful Saturday and expected logjam, but it was incredibly smooth. I think overall, it was an awesome experience for a beginner and a really good value. If you're after something fancy and pretty - Smyrna's not where it's at. But for fun, low pressure value? We'll definitely be coming back.

Little to no grass

To be fair it’s mid March, the issue is Bermuda grass. It was last cut very short and now is presently completely dormant. This basically leaves you mud with straw fairways and tee boxes. I found it more pleasing to play from the rough at least their was some grass. For this time of year the greens were in good shape. Thumbs up there. Recommend recommend temporarily practice mats next to tee boxes in winter/ early spring til the grass starts growing again especially on the par 3’s.

Hardpan Fairways But Great Greens

While the greens were in exceptionally good condition and putted true and consistent all day long, the fairways had been / were cut down to the "nubs" which made them like hardpan. This made shots off the turf very difficult with little or no grass in a lot of spots, and on top of damp / wet conditions due to rain the previous evening. We were thankful on occasion to hit our ball into the rough where we had some semblance of grass to play on.
I told my playing buddy at one point that I could count the sparse number of bermuda grass runners on the turf. Recommendation: Keep bermuda at higher length for winter months. Again, to the credit of course caretakers, the greens were in outstanding condition and ran fast and true! PS - Smyrna Golf Course keeps their prices well below all the other golf courses in Rutherford County, and even on Fridays - the best bargain for a round of golf.

Wet

Course seems to drain well after two days of rain. They let us drive on the course and no damage to the fairways were apparent. Good times but limited selection for players over lunch at snack bar.
