Nashboro Golf Club
Nashboro Golf Club presents an 18-hole parkland layout near Nashville that welcomes players seeking classic tree-lined fairways, approachable greens, and a balanced test of golf. Its relaxed Southern setting combines rolling terrain and strategic bunkers, offering a playable challenge for mid-handicap golfers and beyond.
Course Overview
Located just outside downtown Nashville, Tennessee, Nashboro Golf Club offers an 18-hole, parkland-style course that balances a relaxed Southern charm with subtle challenges that reward thoughtful play. As a public facility, it welcomes golfers seeking a traditional layout framed by gently rolling hills and mature trees that shape fairways and guard the greens. The course stretches approximately 6,600 yards with a par of 71, presenting a layout that tests shot-making without overwhelming less-experienced players.
The terrain’s modest elevation changes encourage a strategy that emphasizes accuracy and course management. Several holes wind through tree-lined corridors, where errant drives are penalized by dense rough or well-positioned bunkers that require precision to avoid. The greens hold true to the parkland style with moderate undulations and consistent speed, contributing to an enjoyable putting surface on most days. While not designed for professionals, Nashboro’s thoughtful routing caters largely to mid-handicap players aiming to sharpen their game, yet it remains approachable enough for beginners to gain confidence.
The natural scenery is defined by a mix of oaks, pines, and maples, providing a quiet atmosphere that complements both casual rounds and more focused practice sessions. This environment pairs with a clubhouse that offers standard amenities including a pro shop and a grill that serves light fare, making it a convenient choice for a full-day outing or a quick nine-to-eighteen holes venture.
Though the management and service experience have received mixed reviews regarding booking processes and on-course policies, those focusing on play will find the course's condition, particularly its well-maintained greens, among its stronger attributes. Players planning to walk the course are advised to wear sturdy shoes due to varied terrain and to prepare for modest distances between tees and greens.
Nashboro Golf Club represents a solid option for golfers in the Nashville area who appreciate a course that blends natural topography with straightforward playability, set within reach of the city’s vibrant culture.

TLDR: Nice course, poor management, don’t go there if you are a woman. The longer story: Last year my family and I started planning a trip to Nashville for the middle of May. In March of this year, I emailed the golf pro, Jeff Page, at Nashboro Golf Club to see if we could make arrangements for a small “tournament”. There were three couples playing and the Ladies wanted to play the front nine, with the Gents continuing on to play the full 18. We wanted to play in 3 groups, each couple to a team, and play best ball for the front 9. I knew this was an unusual request, so I sent Jeff a detailed email describing our needs, and offered to pay the full cost of two complete tee times for 4 players each in hopes that he could accommodate our request. Jeff and I spoke on the phone about it and emailed each other several times in the two months leading up to the date, and he agreed to accommodate us. Last week we all traveled from various parts of the country with our golf bags in tow, carrying our custom printed golf balls, and wearing our team t-shirts, excited to play in our annual family tournament. When we got there, I introduced myself to the staff at the pro-shop and explained who we were and what we were doing. He took our money and gave us the three golf carts. I also introduced myself to the groups playing in front and behind us and explained what we were doing so that no one would be confused or bothered by our unusual outing. Everyone was amenable and enthusiastic about the plan. That all fell apart when, on the 3rd fairway Jeff came out to meet us and told us we couldn’t play with 6 players. I was astounded. When I reminded him of our verbal and written communication, he told me that he had not understood our intentions and that under no circumstances could 6 players play the course. It didn’t seem to matter that we were not holding any other players up behind us, we simply couldn’t do it. Well, since we didn’t want to waste the trip entirely, we decided to let the ladies play hole 4, then the men on hole 5, then the ladies, etc. so that only 3 players would be on the course at a time. Unfortunately, as we were finishing up hole 4, ANOTHER golf course staffer met us and told us that we could not have 3 carts on any hole. We told him what we were doing, what was agreed to and he insisted that we had to separate into two groups. Since it was obvious that they didn’t want to accommodate us, they had interrupted our game twice, and we were all there to play as a family, we decided to call it quits – we no longer wanted to play on their golf course, and we’d take our business elsewhere. Fortunately, we were able to get a full refund on the golfing, since we had everything in writing prior to the event, but that is little consolation for a group that had been looking forward to the event for so long. And, as for women players – beware of the facilities. The women’s restroom was ill cared for, with a foul odor and LOTS of flies all over the area. The men’s room was clean and tidy, as you would expect in a golf pro-shop. The prices at the grill were good, as were prices for clothing in the pro-shop. The cost of playing a round of golf is very reasonable too. Tee times are a little cramped – 8 minutes between groups. So, if you are a twosome or foursome of men, who don’t have any unusual requests, you’ll probably find it to be a great course to play. The course is forgiving and fair, at least what we saw of it. In the end, we packed up and went to Top Golf, where we were able to enjoy some virtual golf while sipping on drinks and eating some snacks.

Played today 6-23-2025 for the first time in a few years. Huge disappointment. tees boxes were so bad they had most of the tees in the fairways. Fairways had not been cut and were not in the best shape. I would definitely not recommend this to anyone. The people in my group thought the same way I do. This course either needs new management or new ownership. Definitely not worth the 60.00 Dollars that i paid. The only good thing about the course were the greens were in good shape. Do not waste your time or money

We had a disappointing experience at this course. There was a 20-minute delay on our tee time due to a shortage of carts, and they still charged $25 for someone who was just riding along—not playing. At $75 per round, I expected better conditions, instead we were playing on muddy tee boxes and rough greens. Not worth the price or the hassle.

Great club! Course is always in great shape! Greens are some of the best and fast...

Played here on June 25th. The course is in pretty good shape. The management is terrible. We called the pro shop about the group in front of us, that held up three groups behind them. Pro shop did nothing. We all skipped three holes to be done in 5 hours. Only play here if you enjoy a 6 hour round in the heat.

If I could leave 0 stars, I just might. Never made it onto the course, but had an unpleasant experience from the get-go with Nashboro Golf Club. Their website requires you to call if you are a single golfer. Once you get through, you are connected with someone at a service center, not the clubhouse, who was unable to provide any information about the course and if there were any weather delays. She then wanted us to email someone at the club house to see if a tee time was available - so what is the point of utilizing this third party service if we are directed to contact the club house anyway - and by email? So, we went to check things out. The signage is not the most clear and it was a bit challenging to find the actual clubhouse. Once we found it, we were immediately informed there were two hour-long weather delays. This would have been great information to know - and if they had a logical management system, we would have been told this when we called. Unfortunate, because we love experiencing new courses and the course itself here seems great, but the management is awful.

Played here on Sunday morning @ 8am, got right out on the tee. We never played here before so it was definitely challenging to find our way around. They could use some more directional signage between holes, other than that it was great. It was well manicured and greens were in great shape. We're from Florida Panhandle and don't have the hills and valleys like Tennessee so we got our exercise in for the day. Would definitely recommend fees weren't bad and staff was friendly. This area has alot of courses to choose from so Enjoy!
