About

Holes 18
Type Resort/Public
Style Links
Par 72
Length 6842 yards
Slope 133
Rating 73.1

The Cumberland River gave birth to the Scottish links-style Gaylord Springs Golf Links, a par-72 golf course that provides 18 testing holes that border limestone bluffs and wetlands protected by the feds. The golf course, designed by the former U.S. Open and PGA Champion Larry Nelson, has collected several distinctions over its days.

The big draw on the Gaylord Springs Golf Links is the signature fourth hole, home to the hundred-plus-year-old springhouse that gives the golf course its name.

After a round on the Gaylord Springs Golf Links, head back to the 43,000-square-foot antebellum-style clubhouse to shop, dine, and take in the views of the golf course.

Perfect weather
Walked

No ball washer, lack of trash cans, on course. Was not informed of cart path only until I asked on 1st tee. Tractors and heavy trailers parked on 2 different holes on the green itself and refused to move had to play around the equipment on a par 3 and waited nearly 20 minutes before we were waived up. Could not see the pin nor most of the green because of Tractor/Trailer parked on the green. Very poorly managed course. I will never play again. Nearly a 5 hour round 2 hours and 40 minute back nine. We were forced to start on 10 because of all the sand trap work and it stilled caused massive slow downs on the 2nd nine which was holed 1-9 for us. Started 10 minutes late even though we were ready for 40 minutes and parked right by the starter

Probably better in the summer

Very unforgiving when you miss a fairway. Beautiful facilities. Had to dodge equipment digging in the fairway. A lot of walking due to cart path only.

Robbery rate for construction course

There were atleast 5 holes that were a mess due to construction . 123 yard par 4 bc the tee boxes were under construction. Should never charge 70$ for that condition.

Can’t beat it in February!

For the first round of golf in 2022, 40mph winds, this course did not disappoint.

Well laid out and very fast greens.

Should be closed for construction

Course layout wouldve been nice but there was massive construction taking place throughout the back 9. Literally tractors and people working in the middle of the fairway on 14-16. Course was clearly under renovations, which is completely normal given this time of year, but they should’ve made patrons aware of the construction prior to booking or even closed the course down temporarily. Also the pace of play was terrible. 12:30pm tee time and it took us 5 hours to play 15 holes. Couldn’t finished the round bc the sun went down.
