We spend the day here, playing a round in the morning, eat lunch on site, and play one more round in the afternoon. Here's what we like: the green fees are fairly decent, and the replay rate is only $10. The restaurant is outstanding and I always order the grilled chicken salad with blue cheese dressing. The dressing is homemade and is incredible. The staff at the pro shop and restaurant are very professional. Very courteous. The not so good side: The golf course is in terrible shape. I sense that they are trying to make improvements but it's really rough right now. The layout is fun and a decent challenge but it's hard to find a good lie anywhere. The bunkers are hard packed. The fairways don't drain well. I'm hoping things turn out better over the spring and summer. Their weekend rate begins on Friday morning. I've been working for 40 years and my boss has always said that the weekend begins Friday night. $44 for the round, cart included. So, overall the rate is good when you add in the replay for $10. Some advice, don't call it a weekend rate, call it your Friday - Sunday Rate.

At least the bare trees allow views of the surrounding lake which are mostly obscured in the summer. Starting in 2022 the Bear Trace courses are now collecting sales tax on greens fees which results in a price increase of almost 10% over the previous rates.

Played this course for the first time a few weeks ago and for the price I was very impressed. A…read moreshort drive south of Nashville, Blackberry Ridge is now owned by the Phillips family and they were absolutely wonderful hosts to us when we arrived at their course. Very friendly and accommodating. The course itself needs some work, but they will be the first to admit that and it sounds like they are going to put in the work that it needs. I'm excited to return next summer and see the progress. Even when we played in November, the greens and tee boxes were still OK. My one main complaint is that the distance markers at the tee boxes and on the scorecard don't match up, and even when they do it is obviously apparent the distance is incorrect (I play frequently and know how far I hit my shots -- a few times I ended up in the water off the tee or WELL short of some hazard; so that's how I know the distances are off). Hopefully this is fixed come next spring. All in all, can't wait to play here again.

My friends and I wanted to play Sweetens Cove GC very badly, we heard it was a nice golf course…read more But we did not get to play it. It is extremely difficult to play. The teetime reservation system is the worst I've ever seen. It is online only and open only a couple times per year. The customer service is even worse than that! I made a $40 reservation on a teetime for a week ago when it was raining, so I called the clubhouse to see about a rain check. I called four times and never got a hold of anyone in the pro shop, and never received a callback from anyone either. I emailed the pro shop as well and again had no response to my email either. So, I'm out $40 now and never even got to change my teetime. I will say it is very disappointing to have this type of customer service from any business. We will not be going back. Terrible experience. Robert H

The total beers for our 3 some were less than $3.00. No joke!

So smooth you'll want to roll a picnic blanket out and call it a day. Honestly, if your ball doesn't roll true here, that's on you, champ. The layout is fun, challenging, and just scenic enough to make you forget how many balls you've donated to the water hazards. It's the rare course where you'll finish 18 holes and think, "Yeah, I could do that again," even if your scorecard looks like a math problem gone wrong. Bottom line: Hermitage is a Nashville gem. Great condition, great vibes, and just enough beauty to distract you from your questionable swing mechanics.

There are many public golf courses around here and the ones that want you to know they are closed have gates or something else not allowing you to come in and this place has none. I was chipping on the public golf green when approached by the owner of the club. My family had done business with him for years, we actually helped him start his coffee business in the county. Dan proceeded to give me the story of people hitting range balls everywhere insulating I had done so, as I was only chipping. He then proceeded to completely lose his cool while screaming at me "get your shit, and leave my property". I wanted to tell him "I've been asked to leave better places than this", but he went inside before we could have an actual conversation, and I left. The owner Dan owns many buffets around fayetteville Tennessee and what he asked me to do was equivalent of asking someone not to go back to his buffet. There were no signs saying they were closed and the sun was still up. This man is not as nice as everyone in the country wants to think and the golf course is total trash. STAY AWAY!!!!!

All 18 holes offer their own little challenge and the water obstacles are plentiful adding an extra edge to the day.
