Hermitage Golf Course - President's Reserve

Denis Griffiths's 2000 President's Reserve at Hermitage Golf Course, trails through 300 acres of natural Tennessee wetlands along the banks of the Cumberland River in Old Hickory, just outside Nashville. Same architect who did Château Élan's Chateau Course in Georgia, applied here to a more expansive riverside parcel. The 7,157-yard par-72 layout features Zoysia fairways and bent-grass greens, wide forgiving fairways with few doglegs that let golfers hit their shot shape of choice, and consistent risk-reward tee shots. The reachable par-5 18th is the signature close: hug the water left for a two-shot bird opportunity or play safely right and settle for the three-shot play. A 74.4 rating / 132 slope are honest, the water and wetlands make trouble when you miss. Recognized as a Golf Digest Top 10 course in Tennessee and voted #1 public course in Nashville. The flagship public tee time for any Music City golf trip, pair with Gaylord Springs for 36.
