The Golf Club of Tennessee

The Golf Club of Tennessee was formed in 1988 by Nashville businessman Bronson Ingram along with Toby S. Wilt and George Gillette, who envisioned building a fine golf-only club west of Nashville. Tom Fazio, assisted by longtime associate Tom Marzolf, designed the sprawling layout on 317 acres in Kingston Springs.

The course opened for member play in 1991 and quickly established itself as the premier private golf club in the Nashville area. The design features A1 bent grass greens and lush fairways winding through the rolling Tennessee countryside with dramatic elevation changes and panoramic views.

The Golf Club of Tennessee maintains an exclusive membership focused purely on the golf experience without the social programming typical of traditional country clubs. It consistently ranks among the top private courses in the state.

At 7,334 yards from the tips the course is a serious test. A1 bent grass greens are fast and true.

The rolling terrain means many lies are uneven. Practice hitting from sidehill and uphill/downhill lies before your round. The elevation changes also affect club selection significantly.

The bent grass greens are fast and true but feature subtle breaks influenced by the surrounding terrain. Reading greens carefully is essential for scoring.
