Better than last October

As a part-time NC resident. I make it to this course several times between Jun and Nov each year. The efforts made by the new management company are obvious on the course. The greens, although a bit on the slow side, are all lush and fairly true. All of the bunkers appeared to be well-groomed. With a few significant exceptions, the fairways have much more grass than last fall and the newly-sodded 16th fairway is a fantastic improvement. Heck, 16 is an all new hole with a pristine green and reimagined bunkers. Tee boxes and cartpaths still could use some work on many holes and some more tree work is needed to open up some tee shots, but there’s evidence everywhere of movement in the right direction. If you book on GolfNow and pay in advance, don’t be surprised when they charge you a $1 facility fee at check-in that they tell you goes directly towards course improvements.

Greens were really good.

Greens have been redone and are much better shape than the rest of the course. The fairways are playable but the rough is a mixture of weeds and grass. Course has a fun layout. Overall had a great time.

Renovations are looking great!

Lots of work has gone into rehabbing this course and it's paying off. Greens were in great shape, rolled true and with a nice, quicker pace than most other courses in the area. Bunkers are greatly improved. Many tees have been redone, flattened and sodden. Holes on the back that used to be sparse turf now have large areas of new sod that's growing in nicely.

Renovations are amazing

I have been playing at Muni for about 5 years now and the new management company has made tremendous improvements in just the last 6 months. The greens roll really true and are getting better by the week. Love the fact that they are returning some of the course features to Donald Ross’s original design. New tee boxes, better fairways are also obvious improvements. The staff and the regulars are a pleasure to be around.

Getting better

Nashville municipal golf course is making so many great changes, and things are getting better every day. The fairways are uneven, but the grass hasn’t fully come in yet. They are doing amazing work on all their tee boxes and some of their green complexes. I can’t wait to see the finished product. We were allowed to hit off of one of the redone tea boxes, which was amazing. Definitely worth a trip to the course. Kudos to all the staff on all the hard work.

Better days ahead

First time back here in about a decade, and the other reviews are accurate, pretty rough shape. That being said it’s clear they’re working hard and it should be much improved in 6 months or so. The layout is GREAT and when they get conditions back on track this will be a must play; pause for now though

Don't waste your money

This is hands down the worst course I've ever played. Sure the staff was nice. But I'm showing up to play golf. Not make friends. None of the grass is a uniform length, there's mud pits every where. It's like they don't even have a grounds keeper. I wouldn't play this course if it was free.

In the Right Direction

I know that for many golfer new to Muni they will say it is in bad shape, fairway rough or bare in place, traps well what can we say but no good, tee boxes rough. But for those of us that have played Muni for year (me sense 69) the improvements that are be done we can see what the course was like years ago. Have cut down many trees to give sun lite to fairways. Have redone 6-7 tee boxes so far and more to be done soon. Working on redoing bucker or getting rid of those that were not in the orginaly course layout.
I think that if you come back late summer or next year you will see the beginning of a course that Donald Ross would be proud of.

Great things coming

I played it muni yesterday. They have aerated the greens, but they ran pretty good. They are doing a lot of extensive work to the course right now, so some tea boxes were closed for renovations. Overall, the course is in decent shape, and I recommend it to anyone who’s looking to play. I’m looking forward to seeing the end. Results of all these amazing changes. Thanks to the staff for all their hard work.

Under Repair

I love this course. It’s a muni and you get what you get at a public course. But the course is being worked on (and it needs it) so I won’t be back until next spring or maybe late fall at the earliest. Many temporary tees, lots of ground under repair, WAAY too many people crammed onto the course so it was a 5:30 hr round.
Staff is always great. Layout is fun. But it’s not ready for people to be golfing on it while they’re working. Again, it needed the work so I’m glad they are, but stay away for a couple of months.

Shame on Asheville

How could Asheville let this course get to this horrible condition. Donald Ross would not want his name associated with this course in this condition. The cart paths are dangerous. There are no decent fairways. The greens were OK. It is amazing that so many people play. If there were other public options close by, this course would go out of business. Hopefully new management will restore course to something worthy of a Ross designation
