I'll give some positives first. The greens are in good shape now from their early July aerification. The layout of the course is adequate. It's close to the city and the pace of play was fine. The GPS system in-cart is of solid quality. There don't appear to be homeless people panhandling and selling junk on the course anymore like there were 5-10 years ago. It's a decent track in a convenient, (albeit a little shoddy) location.

That said, I'll never, ever return. 7:00 pm cart return time in the middle of summer with an hour left of daylight is unacceptable to me. And upon expressing my opinion that I disagreed with the rule, the legendarily poor customer service of this place came right on out as well. "Keep my opinions to myself". I'll be sure to share my opinion with anyone I know who golfs who will listen. I regret that I gave this place a second chance, but I won't make the same mistake again. I'll be spending my money at literally any other course in the area.

This place cannot be beat. It’s beautiful, it’s in great shape, and the customer service is off the charts good. If it weren’t so far from the city I’d play here daily. I will say that with the weather we have had the greens are… JUST slightly behind what I’ve seen there in their peak. We are talking 8.5 instead of 9.5 though and it wouldn’t cause me a moment of hesitation in going back.

Not in awesome shape but not bad either. Very good for the money. Pace a little slower than usual but overall a good day. Course is always fun.

And that's a big "but". This has been one of my favorite courses, but as other reviewers have said, the greens are very bad. There appear to be some that have come back alright, but probably 50% of them could be called "awful" - and a few of those were basically unplayable. There looked to be tire marks in sand around some of the holes. I called it a 2 putt and moved on.

It's kind of a shame, because the layout here is so much fun and the hole variety is spectacular. Great drives between holes, great elevation changes, beautiful scenery. The people are always very nice as well. I played full price here at 40.00 - but I'd wait to see reviews that the conditions had improved before coming back. Maybe at hotdeal price.

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.

Yeah, it's not greystone. Pros and Cons. Negatives - Tee boxes and fairways a little beat up. Kind of way out of the way. Brutal, brutal cart paths. Not in excellent overall shape at all. Pros - Interesting, quirky layout. Solid, healthy greens (although the patrons appear to need lessons in ballmark repair). Good variety of difficult holes and easy holes. Slicers paradise, lots of doglegs right. Course was overall pretty "fun". Here's the thing, played very early, very fast, and very cheap - and I'd be really excited to do so again. At a higher price, might not be worth the drive. But I'll def play again at this value.

My only issue with this course was with the location and with my expectations based on previous reviews. I live in Nashville; if this course for this price was available in Williamson or Davidson county it would easily be worth the price charged and would be a definite repeat play. Previous reviews made it seem like this place was in immaculate shape so we booked and took the long drive out there. I did not agree with the sterling reviews of the conditions at all. US Open rough...which could have been on purpose I suppose. Fairways somewhat beat up, greens slow and beat up. The people there were Really nice though and the layout was fun and tricky for the first time through... It was nearly empty and the pace was as fast as you'd want to go. I'd say if you find yourself nearby here, definitely come play. I don't think i'll by driving 90 minutes east again though... too many courses of the same quality for similar prices much closer.

I love this golfcourse.

First the not so good - The tee boxes are being renovated which causes some issues on a few holes and the greens aren't in the best shape.

the good - Interesting holes with elevation changes, some risk reward, pretty views, beautiful fairways with an actual 2nd cut of rough, incredibly friendly staff, nice regulars, Awesome value. I was hooked up with an AWESOME turkey sandwhich that was way better than I expected. It's closer to Nashville and easier to get to than it seems. It's not particularly long, but the elevation changes and the blind landing ares make you think on many shots. A 250 yard par 4 in which you cannot see the green with steep slopes away on the back side and bunkers guarding the front is a great example of a hole where you have options. Hit and hope or play it safe?

If the greens are cleaned up a little bit and the teeboxes come around it will be AMAZING, even as is though it's still a great deal of fun and an excellent value. Will be back, probably many times.

This course was in Fantastic shape and was a really fun play. Nice greens, beautiful fairways, no complaints. Perhaps the best part was the unbelievable friendliness of the staff and patrons. If I lived closer, I would play here regularly.

Booked because there was no aerification alert, then went to the course website to find that they had aerified recently. Tried to call Golfnow to switch reservation to another course. Golfnow listened, and called the course to check up. They were told that "the greens were fine". They weren't, at all, and it was packed for Friday mid-day. The course seemed like it would be nice, but it was hard to tell with the greens as they were and with the slow pace of play. Staff was super nice. Potential, cool layout, likely won't be back.

9 holes, but they play different from multiple tee sets. Nicest people you'll find on any course, anywhere. It's worth the drive from Nashville for the view alone. Expected it to be pretty, fully lived up to expectations. Course was in decent shape for the end of winter. Some tough holes. One is a par 3 "island" hanging out over the edge of a mountain. I will be driving back in spring when the weather is nicer and it's green. Fully recommended.

This course is beautiful and fun to play. Variety of holes in a very pretty setting. The people were extraordinarily nice and the course was in good shape. Would drive out here from Nashville every day if I could. One of the few course I'd be willing to pay full price for.

The course was fun, some interesting and cool holes. Really slow play and extremely crowded. 4-somes everywhere I looked even starting late.

High handicapper; chose this course as a good deal. At this price, we couldn't have played a low level municipal course. The staff was very friendly and the scenery was nice. It was a very pleasant drive into the course. The general area that the course is in in the city isn't exactly spectacularly beautiful, but you wouldn't know it once you turn onto their street.

We played at 1 oclock on a Saturday and never had to wait for a shot or had people behind us. Back nine especially was lots of fun, lots of elevation changes and water had to be dealt with often. Only negative was that (in my admittedly novice opinion) some of the greens were not in fantastic shape. I'll freely volunteer that I know little enough about course maintainence to know if they were fixing them up or what. There was just some rough terrain in spots. If i had paid 50 dollars I may have cared a little, but it certainly wasn't bad. Will play again, without a doubt.
