Course Overview
VinnyLinks Golf Course in Nashville, Tennessee, offers a compact yet rewarding experience designed specifically to fine-tune your short game. This public 9-hole par-3 layout stretches over a modest footprint, creating an inviting environment for golfers looking to sharpen irons, wedges, and putting skills without committing to a full round. Its intimate design strikes a balance between casual play and practical practice, making it an ideal stop for both beginners and seasoned players seeking focused short-range improvement.
Set against a backdrop touched by the sounds of the nearby General Jackson paddleboat and the gentle rustle of native wildlife, VinnyLinks feels quietly connected to its riverside location. The course terrain features gentle rolling elevations which add subtle challenges without overwhelming precision shots. Although limited in length, thoughtful green complexes present varied slopes and undulations that require steady focus on approach shots and putting accuracy.
The turf conditions are maintained well enough to support regular play, though players have noted that greens can be inconsistent throughout the year, calling for careful reading and touch on the putting surfaces. The driving range is functional but basic, with a selection of mats, elevated rubber tees, and a safety note on shot distances designed to protect neighboring areas. While not a destination for full-length rounds or competitive championship play, VinnyLinks shines as a reliable practice venue where golfers can dial in their wedges and regain confidence in their scoring clubs.
Friendly local staff contribute to a welcoming atmosphere, and the overall pace of play remains brisk given the short layout. The course encourages walking, inviting players to enjoy Nashville’s mild climate while working on the fundamentals. For families or groups, VinnyLinks provides a low-pressure setting to experience golf’s shorter shots and enjoy social rounds that emphasize fun as much as improvement.
Whether you’re in town for a quick tune-up or exploring new options to maintain your game, VinnyLinks Golf Course deserves consideration as a practical, accessible place to focus on the shots that count most around the green.

Decent Par 3 course. You get what you pay for!

Greens are horrible year round. It was hard to justify spending $12 on a round and they just raised the price to $16. Fun if you’re drunk. GO TO MCCABE! LOL

(My review is of the driving range only.) There are approximately 10 mats to hit from; no hitting from grass. Tall rubber tees are installed and a note to not "hit more than 250 yards. Nothing special as far as looks as you're just hitting balls towards a hill of grass and dirt, but at $6 for a bucket of balls it's a convenient place to get some swing practice in when in the area.

Tough to justify $12 when you can walk 9 at two rivers for $13 on a weekday. The condition is honestly usually rough, and the greens fluffy. Also, although the holes have different distances, due to elevation they almost all play around 100 yards, so in terms of short game practice there's no variation off the tee. The practice green and range are nice amenity close to downtown. $6 and you can get some swing practice in and then putt a while. The problem is they close at 5, so after work range is a no-go. They should stay open later.

A great little par 3 course. Fun to play with the family or work on your short game. Pictures are from the Mad Scramble.

This is not a championship course, but gets 4.5 stars as a great rolling par 3 course to dial in your short game. If I lived in Nashville I’d practice here mid week every week after work. Driving range looked like a really bad setup, so wouldn’t use it for that. But if you want to play your irons, wedges, and putter better, this would be a great place to sharpen the edge regularly. Other than the sound of the loud engines of the General Jackson or some other large paddle boat anchored in the river nearby, it was a very peaceful place to play. I even saw a group of does come out on one of the holes, munching in the fringe. Super friendly staff too!
