Cheap, wide open course that's very forgiving. Two buddies and I went here while on vacation and rented clubs. 9 holes w/ pull cart and clubs was only about $25 so you can't beat that. The course seemed like it drastically needed water and you couldn't really tell the difference between fairway and rough, but for a few scratch golfers it did the trick. read more

The staff here is fucking awful. I went to play with my friends, which ended up being 5 of us. They scolded us at the front desk about having 5 guys and told us to split up. We did at first, but eventually the second group caught up with the first. One of the employees then drove right up the fairway at us and proceeded to yell at us for being all together. We were playing at a pretty quick pace too, and especially with 5 of us, that's pretty good. We also weren't doing anything wrong, we were just playing golf. Not being disruptive to anyone else, not ruining the course, and not ruining the atmosphere of the course. The guy made us leave and wouldn't give us a refund, even though we only got to play a few holes. He also yelled at us because only 3 of us had sets of clubs. The other two were borrowing clubs as needed. In the past I have done this with friends many times, and it has never been a problem. So I don't know what got this guy all bitchy today, but he needs to figure it out. Yelling at paying customers who simply want to play golf isn't the way to go. read more

A golf oasis in a busy part of town for you to get away and play a quick nine or practice at the driving range putting area. Course Conditions and pace of play are good except on weekends and some green collar / tee box patches are worn. he pro shop has balls and rental clubs . Beer and fare are available too . The friendly pro staff and all these features make this course a gem. read more

It's tough to grade this track, really. I played the North course I believe, and how can you really complain about $9 or $12 or whatever it is for a nice walk on nine holes. I've played many of the great courses across this country, and this certainly isn't one of them, but it's in a great neighborhood and women jog the track around it. Definitely worth the money. read more

See all

A really nice short course to iron out parts of your game. Nice scenery and not too much trouble. We played from the blues on the South course. Took us 2.25 hours and we were walking. For 20 bucks, I'll definitely be back. read more

McCabe Golf Course - Golf Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Decent course, and I'd love to write positively about it, but some members of our group were new so we were moving a little slow. An older group behind us wasn't happy with our speed of play so they complained and we got kicked off the course after 6 holes. Management wasn't interested in hearing what we had to say. Just really pathetic treatment of customers for a public course. read more

A good city owned course. The tee boxes need a lot of work, and the fairways could be in better shape. But all in all, it's a good value and each of the three nines are very playable. read more

The rudest establishment I've ever been to. Before we ever started playing golf the older guy in the pro shop yelled at us for playing 5's. Then as our first group went off on time he screamed at me that we were 3 mins late. The round was very slow due to a group in front of us and we alerted the marshal of slow play. At the turn the marshal complained and said we were holding everyone up. Complete Aholes! With 12 guys paying for 18 holes, beers, food....respect your customers read more

I'm a big fan of this course for a couple reasons: 1. I'm not good enough of a golfer to be overly critical of the minor details. 2. It's very reasonably priced for the experience you get. 3. It is very well-kept for a public course, and the scenery is really nice. 4. It's a nice combination of open layout with some fairly challenging holes mixed in. The only negative experience from my first time playing here was in the realm of what you'd expect on a very reasonably priced public course: more than once the open layout aided inexperienced golfers to drive their carts into our line while we teed off...we almost hit an unsuspecting cart driver who, in chasing an errant tee shot from another hole onto our fairway, drove right into the flight path of our tee shot without checking to see if we were hitting. Isolated incident and certainly not enough to discourage me from coming back. I'll definitely be back! read more

Pretty decent course with a reasonable price. Plays open like a links course would. I have had a few good experiences here and one horrible due to the rangers not taking actions. Overall good times though. read more

I've been playing at McCabe for two years now, so it's high time I got around to writing a review. Layout: Easily played course. There is almost no water, few fairway bunkers, and the rough is kept fairly short. Shouldn't be a challenge for a mid-handicapper. That said, there are some challenging shots, and some of the greens have multiple tiers and tricky slopes. Condition: This is a Nashville Muni course, and in spite of that, it's usually in pretty good repair. They do a good job keeping the tee boxes, fairways, and greens in decent order. Extras: No driving range, which is a pretty big drag. There is a decent putting green, and a chipping green as well. These tend to get pretty crowded on the weekend, but I suppose it's better than nothing. Fees/Service: The fees are still pretty reasonable to walk, but with the new carts the course purchased in the past year, it's become very expensive to ride. $25 to walk 18, and over $38 to ride. I know that the course is using the carts as a profit-leader, but this is a bit stiff. When you consider that carts should be required- considering how many groups they push through on a busy day- it seems like price-gouging. read more

This rating is for customer service only. I wanted to play 18, and called to arrange a time for me to come in. This is common practice and I oftentimes get a time as a single with the expectation to be paired up or grouped with another time if it is busy. Instead, I was told, confusingly by a young woman that I should "just do the walk up nine hole course" because "We don't do tee times for singles. They can only play 9." Aside from the fact that it is rude to tell a customer what he should do when he requests something else, this is contrary to the website and my experience at the course. I told her as much and she had no response other than to tell me to have a good day. If this is the new policy it is absurd. One of the great parts of golf is making new friends over 18 holes. To relegate singles to a walk on 9 hole course when they are willing to pay for an open time on 18 is poor practice. This is not a good way to treat your customers, especially when you are taxpayer-funded. If you want to run your municipal course like a club, then buy it from the city before you start making up rules on the fly. Otherwise this is a nice municipal course with great value. It's a shame I'll be taking my business elsewhere from now on. I'll be sure to recommend a few non-muni public courses down the highway which may cost a few dollars more, but at least appreciate their customers. read more

This place is one of the better public courses in the area. A great place to play or practice, they offer 8-12 dollar driving range packages. They also have a practice sand trap, chipping green, and putting green on the opposite side of the clubhouse from the driving range. Call ahead because this place packs up especially on the weekend. They offer hot sandwiches, beer, and snacks in the clubhouse. This place is packed with bad golfers so it is apparent you will get many many fore calls with a thought in your brain as to "where was he/she aiming." read more

McCabe is my favorite city owned course on days that I want to practice chipping, putting, or hit the range. It is a fun course to play on the weekends as long as you have a tee time. Otherwise, you are sent to the walk on course (I think the north course) and will be waiting in a long line behind inexperienced golfers (as in golfers that don't understand the concept of playing through or when it is safe to hit off another fairway). Last time I played without a tee time, we were behind a group of college kids that were blasting rap music. Not fun. Ha. I have always had a great time playing the course on weekdays simply because it isn't nearly as packed as it is on weekends. Weekends are chaos. Overall, great course for the price. read more

McCabe golf course is a great place to golf. The course is a part of a park located in sylvan park neighborhood. There a good places to brew an grub before or after a round. The course is in good condition and the greens fees are reasonable. The course gets busy on Sunday's but if you call a day out usually it's good to go. read more

This is a great track for the green fee. I have seen mixed reviews and seen bad service ratings, but experienced very good service depending on who is working. Other than that, a great course for the fee. Overall, the staff is very good. One jerk, actually my photo is of him on a 5-point health code violation (eating in a food prep/service area). No worries though--he's been transferred back to Harpeth Hills. read more

i played at this course last year i played the walking course. its a fun game a fun course and it's great exercise. if u are new at golf or your an experienced golfer i would suggest playing this course. read more

It's convenient, easy to play, and inexpensive. BUT, they could definitely improve on somethings and make it a much more enjoyable experience. If you are booking tee times, there's no reason for the 45 minute back-ups in the middle of rounds. You have enough staff people sitting around being angry, just make one of them a starter. It's frustrating to make a tee time a week in advance only to get there and find you're behind 4 groups on the second tee. read more
