Such a wonderful golf course!! Love to play here and especially love taking lessons. Everyone is so kind and excited to have golfers of all experience levels on the course. Love the PM club!

Course is in great shape. Tee boxes are near perfect. Pro shop is great, staff are good, and getting a burger + beer + chips + range balls included with your round is a nice touch. The carts have the nicest seats I’ve ever experienced But as always, the knock on this place is price and pace of play. It’s a very short course, so you’re necessarily waiting on most holes to hit, and doing so for ~5hrs gets tiresome quick Couple that with the $100+ you’ll pay for most rounds and it can be hard to justify. It’s a nice little executive course, but if I’m playing Gaylord prices, I’m looking for a Gaylord experience, and the complimentary burgers only go so far

I’d be shocked at what experience anyone else had if they are not giving Franklin’s Bridge 5 stars. You want Southern Hospitality? Franklin Bridge! You want to have a fantastic round, good pace of play, and a great track? Franklin Bridge. Honestly, they could not have done more for our group of 12. John was amazing from the start of our communication and the team on the day followed through what he started. No one accepted a tip, thanks was enough! Unreal! From Adam Fisher-Titus and the group in early May, thank you. You’ve got golfers for life now when we’re in the South.

Came out for a mini scramble with some buddies - the course was in gorgeous condition and the starters and marshals had things moving like clockwork. Pace of play was just as advertised, and special shoutout to David for helping the guys settle a tie! Customer service was above and beyond and can’t wait to play the course again!

This is one of the best public run golf courses in the area. The bar is sensational. The food is great. The course is magnificent sometimes too crowded. I would avoid weekends but generally this is a really well-run establishment almost private club kind of service. As I've been a member of several private clubs, I would say the service is terrific. The range, although you have to hit off Matt's is just fine and they've got a chipping area where you can come out of sand and practice. It really is sensational. Perhaps the only drawback is the putting green which really needs some help. The practice putting green behind the driving range needs improvement, but I still gave it five stars

Phenomenal hospitality. Amazing course. David took care of our 12 person scramble and made sure the whole party was taken care of. 10/10 recommend.

By far the best public course in middle TN. Course is well maintained, includes a hot dog or burger and beer with your green fee, great practice area, marshalls are super friendly, and pace of play is solid. Also, the performance center is top notch. I went from not being able to hit a golf ball whatsoever to breaking 100 in 6 months by getting lessons with Scott Hasse!
