The pictures do NO justice! Absolutely amazing experience. Guys golf trip with some Marine buddies that I haven't seen in 10+ years. We are from all over the world and we ALL agreed this was one of the best rounds of golf we have ever played. Design was great, staff was great, pace of play was great, amenities were great! I may make a special trip back to Tennessee just to play again. Stop thinking about it and book your round, you won't regret it!
Great golf course and worth every penny they charge. Grounds crew does a great job with upkeep and the staff was very friendly. I talked to the woman at the pro shop for awhile after my round. I got there at 8am and nobody else teed off until 9am, so I basically had the place to myself. Is it a bit pricey? Yeah. You pay for what you get though and that's a great golf course! I'll be back soon!
$160 for 18 holes of golf on a course 1-1/2 hours from Nashville and in the middle of nowhere is preposterous. It’s a decent track with an ok clubhouse but probably worth $75-90. I’ve played a ton of world class courses around the U.S. and around the world for context and playing Honky Tonk just felt like the owner is greedy and out of touch with reality.
A great place for dinner however skip the prime rib sandwich it is not that good.
A MUST STOP We went in yesterday and we're BLOWN AWAY!! The service is on point 👉 The food VERY 👍 The atmosphere GORGEOUS Can't wait to play a round on Tuesday. Very excited to have a top notch golf course and restaurant only 20mins from the house. I've been back since my first visit to play golf. A MUST PLAY GOLF COURSE ⛳️ So beautiful WOW
