This is by far my favorite public course in Nashville. Ever since they renovated it couple years back it’s great. They do a fairly good job of spacing you out when they have starters. Relaxing 9-hole course to walk. Geared more toward short game (par 3s and short par 4s).

Spray arms and legs with bug spray before teeing off. Biting flies swarm you if you stand still for more than a few seconds. No complaints about the track. In great shape. Greens could be given more attention. Fix the bugs and it’s 4.5 stars.
Terrence Mahnken
Beautiful and simple, 9-hole course. Great course to walk but carts are available to rent as well as clubs. No tee time needed. Note: the nashville.gov site lists 18-hour pricing for Percy Warner but again, this is a 9-hole course. No water hazards. Only a couple of holes have sand traps. The tees and greens are a bit shabby but playable. All-in-all, a great value for money and lovely scenery.

This place was closed when I moved to Nashville and was so pumped to play it once it opened and this place DID NOT disappoint! It is awesome, clean and the course is in great shape! Catch me here nearly every Saturday cause I can’t get enough!

Great place for practice, but practice putting green really needs to be punched and rolled or it won’t be healthy for long. Getting bumpy and inconsistent. Worked hard on bringing this course back, hopefully it’s well taken care of. Also, the online scorecard is wrong and so is GHIN. It’s a par 33 with three par 3s and six par 4s, unless hole nine is considered a long par 3.

I have called 6 times now and no one has picked up the phone. How does one make a tee time when you can’t do it online and no one is answering the phone?
