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.

The rough and fairways were in pretty good shape. Greens were not in good shape at all. They have not recovered from aeration and needed to be cut (like putting on a fairway). Bunkers also need some better quality sand.
Hmmmm
Big price for playing this course. Greens need rolling and manicuring. They were close to unputtable. Lots of mowed grass all over greens. Pace of play was great but course conditioning needs work.
The greens - recently aerated - wow...terrible! No control at all on greens...best I be sure to wait a week or so after this process. Great fun - otherwise!
Slow play
As before, course backs up 3 deep at tees. No marshals. Incredible slow pace of play.
Not worth the Money
Very patchy course, first hole didn’t even have a green. No bathrooms throughout the course so you either pee in trees or you drive all the way back to the main building. Only 9 holes. Staff was very friendly. Not worth the $50 per person to golf there.
Decent track
For 50% off you can't really complain. It's a short and fun little course. Good for working on your iron game. Don't know if full price is worth it though.
Way too much pressure.
This course is close & inexpensive which is why I suppose the tee times are so close together (or the group behind us was just very anxious). I played with my 13 year old son & we felt so much pressure to go as fast as possible. This kind of gold isn’t fun for anyone especially those of us who are not great at golf but are trying to improve our game. We will play there again but hopefully the group behind us won’t be breathing down our neck!!

I play here everyday and it’s a great course and has great pace hence the 4 star outta 5 on pace of play. I bet you are talking about a Saturday or Sunday when every course pace is slow. There aRe Marshall’s on Fri-Sun
