Cheekwood Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Situated in the heart of Franklin, the Cheekwood Golf Club (formerly known as Fairways on Spencer Creek) is conveniently located only 20 minutes south of Nashville. This popular layout has been ranked as one of the top 10 nine-hole golf courses in Tennessee. Despite being a shorter course, the layout still offers several holes with water hazards and sand bunkers. The tight fairways and rolling terrain also require a fair amount of accuracy. The course has enough challenges as well as enough variety throughout the holes to make it a fun round for more skilled players, which also makes it a great place for beginners to get some practice. Being that the round is usually quick, the golf course is a popular choice for golfers looking to get in a quick round after work.

Lengthy Executive Course
This 9-hole course consists of five (5) par-4s and four (4) par-3s. It is a cross between a true executive course and a regulation course. The par-4s are plenty challenging, especially hole #5.
The course was in very good shape, with zoysia fairways and bermuda greens. The only drawback was the pace of play. It took my foursome about 2 hours to play 9 holes, which is a little long for a course of this length. There was no starter on the first tee either, so players making the turn would have to jockey for position with those waiting to play their first nine. I paid for 18 holes, but only played 9 because of the mess on the first tee.
Awful
Have played this course before and had zero issues. Today the greens keepers decided that 10:30am was a time to turn on the sprinklers while we were playing on Hole 7. The greens keepers also were driving around in almost every back swing I took. They loudly were talking on their phones and had zero regard for the paying players game. Totally unprofessional. I went in after 7 because they were so distracting and requested a refund. They couldn’t honor that since I booked through Golf Now. Would love a refund for this money and time wasted at this poorly run course.

Always enjoy playing this course Staff does a great job!
Great spot in Franklin
Quick executive course. Great staff. Solid value for the money!
Great for a quick-but-challenging 9
I love this course because it’s quick, fun, and challenging, and there’s opportunities to use every club in your bag, from woods to wedges.
Not for the price
The course was pretty decent. Fairways was great. Greens were misleading. Very soggy around most greens. Not worth the 50 bucks.

Great pace,, wonderful weather, greens and fairways in great condition, maybe back again this week
Great family friendly course!
I had a daddy/daughter date at Cheekwood and it was perfect for my daughter who is a new golfer! This would also be a great option for a quick nine or hole 18 holes with my golf buddies. Excellent layout, the course is in great shape, and the staff is incredibly friendly!
Wow, this place has come a long way
Several years ago this course was okay not great, there were certainly areas of the ground keeping that could be addressed and some of the greens were in pretty bad shape. I’ve played this course many times over the years and this is the best it’s looked by a long shot. New management has done a terrific job That said, I still think it’s a little pricey for an executive 9 hole course and it’s really a bummer that they don’t offer a walking rate any longer. But that certainly won’t stop me from playing here again. It’s such a fun little course.
Thanks
Had a nice Friday afternoon round on a great layout. Greens a little slow.
