Easy play & good playing conditions

Flat fairways made for an enjoyable outing with grandson. Greens were in good shape, not tricky & rolled true. Good course for the developing player.

Fun for Practice

A short course with tight fairways & precise landing targets, Cheekwood offers a quick tune-up for driving & short gams.

Great spot to get your game in shape

This was an early spring round on a bramuda course with greens that had just been aerated. The layout features holes of varied length and challenge, so the player gets a test of accuracy & course management. Good way to knock some rust off your game and set priorities for spring practice.

5–hour Round; SLOW greens

Challenging layout even from the senior tees where we played. I scored 15 strokes above my USGA average, mainly due to wet traps and slow, really slow greens. I blame myself. This is a Bermuda course set up for tourist winter play. Skeleton staff, CART PATH ONLY. (due to dormant fairways), and soppy traps in fairways & greens). Might be a nice round when it’s summertime. Save your money. Really.

Short & Quirky Fun

Hilly venue with hidden dog legs and tiny greens. A little scruffy, so you a likely to lose an errant ball in the rough, but never fear, you’ll probably find one from the foursome ahead of you. Best played when paired with a local who can point the way, just keep your hand on your wallet. It’s a fun afternoon at the Park & the staff keeps it that way. Enjoy!

Bear in the Woods

Challenging golf & superb conditions in a hilly, wooded setting. If you like Tom Fazio & Pete Dye layouts, this is the course for you. Every hole demands a precisely placed tee shot to open up the well-trapped green. Errant tee balls are lost in the woods. Very well kept greens help sink recovery putts. There are no opportunities for mental lapses & mishits are punished severely. There are 5 sets of tees. Move up, or expect to empty you bag’s ball pocket. A memorable experience.

Public golf as it should be

Short course with hilly terrain and small greens makes for both challenge and fun. I’m a member of a Troon managed private club and wish my course were in as good condition as this one. It helps to play with someone who knows the course because blind tee shots and severe elevation changes can be challenging. There’s no posh clubhouse to celebrate your round, but the course is in the middle of Nashville’s trendy East end, so there are plenty of local spots to visit and hoist an IPA.

Blind shots, great greens

Blind tee shots, rolling hills, and undulating greens make this a challenging layout. This was my second time to play the course, and I continued to struggle to find good landing areas off the tee. Fortunately, I came armed with extra golf balls and had a few left at day's end. It's a beautiful course and fun with the right foursome, but quite an ego bruiser for those who take being near par too seriously.

Lady Friendly Recreation

Very generous forward tees update this Donald Ross classic to super lady-friendliness. Several couples populated the course on our Sunday round. Even from the back tees the course is short, but the mountain terrain creates surprising bounces and zero flat lies. Quirky, undulating greens defend par. Front flags are close to false fronts that send seemingly adequate shots rolling twenty yards back down the fairway. Shots above the pin set up merciless three-putts. The greens were ball-marked, but quick. Tee boxes and fairways were in good shape. The clubhouse was 1950's in need of an update. Somewhat overpriced, but it's resort golf---handy to downtown and receptive to tourists.

Shotmaker's Course

The choice of tees is crucial to success on this course. First-timers should play forward. Dog legs and blind tee shots result in some challenging recoveries to well trapped, undulating greens. Fortunately, the course has an outstanding practice facility. Work on your sand play and chip shots from the rough is highly recommended. So, arrive early, practice, and bring a positive attitude. I definitely will return and give this course a second look.

Good beginners course.

Fairly flat layout with little water in play. This course sees a lot of action from beginners and high handicappers, so it takes a beating. Slow play is the rule, but folks are friendly. Bring the ladies and enjoy a social outing.

Bring your "A" game to play P.b. Dye

This course gives new meaning to the saying that golf is a game of recovery. Most of the par 4 and 5 holes start with a blind tee shot. Misplaced drives are a challenge to overcome. Extremely firm greens favor the run-up approach shot. Bring plenty of balls or this will be a truly humbling experience. The staff is great. They understand what you are going through.
