Hermitage Golf Course - President’s Reserve, Old Hickory, TN

Architect: Denis Griffiths (2000)

Strategic water, scenic wetlands, and one of Tennessee’s top public courses. The President’s Reserve spans 300 acres along the Cumberland River, mixing bold visuals with thoughtful design. Generous fairways lead to demanding approaches, and the par-5 18th, framed by water and bunkers, is one of the region’s most satisfying finishing holes.

Gaylord Springs Golf Links - Nashville, TN

Architect: Larry Nelson (1990)

A Scottish-inspired layout bordered by limestone bluffs and the Cumberland River. Pot bunkers, firm fairways, and clean sightlines create a modern links feel while staying highly playable. The par-4 4th angled fairway, water carry, and strong visuals, is one of Nashville’s most photographed holes.
