This beautiful place hidden in Franklin is a fabulous place for a wedding…read more The Good: 1) The whole building is great for photos but the view overlooking the golf course is incredible. You can have your ceremony outside on the course or (If rain ruining your awesome outside ceremony is your biggest fear like mine was) inside in a room with the EXACT same view. 2) You don't have to be a member to get married here and it isn't an overpriced venue like some other country clubs. 3) The food was excellent. They have packages that can pretty much cater to anything. Buffet? Check. Sit down meal? Check. Beef, Chicken, Fish AND vegetarian options? You've got it. 4) You can both your ceremony AND reception here. This was the biggest thing we were looking for and were super excited to know you can have both rooms. 5) There is a locker room area where everyone can get ready. Another BIG plus. The Only Bad (and reason for taking away 1 star): The party stops at 10:45. My family likes to party late so all the late night folks had to continue the celebration elsewhere. If you are planning an afternoon wedding or you've had enough celebrating by 10:30ish then its no big deal. Definitely add this as a place to at least check out while searching for wedding venues. Hopefully you'll be as pleasantly surprised as we were!

So despite the long drive down Concord road to places I never visit, I pulled into the guard gate, told them my name and party, and was allowed to enter. SWAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNKKKKKKKYYYYYY neighborhood y'all. Like really SWANK. Like country stars and billionaires swanky. Need to learn to play golf on that golf course so I can catch me a sugar daddy, no? Anyway, the mansion was Pleasant Hill, an old house built in 1854 by Colonel Winstead. It has been restored with period decor and is quite interesting to check out. They have room to set up tables for groups of diners and apparently even have weddings/receptions here. There's a large outdoor patio area for the same type thing. There's even a separate bar area so that people arriving can gather in there to get drinks and not block up the space between the tables since it is a little crammed in there when fully set up. The staff is welcoming and seem to really love being there which adds a nice Southern charm to the whole thing. Food was your standard group dinner stuff - salad with some really good thick balsalmic vinaigrette, entree was steak on one side, chicken on the other, and roasted vegetables and potatoes in the middle. Steak was medium well and a little on the bland side, chicken was standard. Overall just really average but when cooking for a large group it wasn't bad. The dessert was a decadent chocolate cake with white icing but the chocolate syrup covering it was definitely Hershey's syrup. Not like that's a bad thing! Overall seems like a really nice place to have a unique group dinner, rehearsal dinner, etc. And apparently if you live over there and are a member (of what? not sure) you get a deal on this. So move over to the neighborhood and then invite me over to your swanky place!

I've golfed all over this great nation, and they rank right up there with a few resort courses, Robert Trent Jones golf trail workers, and Sawgrass. Job well done guys. Lunch was amazing and the wait staff was courteous and personable. They introduced themselves and had you feeling like you were a regular there in no time at all. Something I liked that others may not was the time between placing an order and the foods arrival. It took about 30 minutes which is probably longer than normal, but as a guest, I enjoyed the extra time for interaction. The golf course was astounding, and I got to play with the course pro himself. Jack Nicklaus signature course with Jack's hand on it all. And it is apparent. Risk/reward at its best. Over the course of the 7 hours I was there, I was personally introduced to probably 30 other members, and each one of them was courteous and personable. I can't put into words how wonderful my experience was. This is an amazing, world class organization. If you get an invite to accompany a member, do yourself a favor and go!

Nice senior rate, with certain lunch items and a beer/drink included in the fee. Starter Richard...what a gem. Pure sunshine! Happy, helpful, glad you're there, and genuinely wanted us to have a fun round! We were paired with two locals as playing partners. We were thankful for their guidance around the course and at the turn when we decided to grab our meal. Never missed a beat - this process was smooth! The course was in great shape. Greens rolled fast and fairways were wide. A bit tricky to find your ball if in the rough though! Really enjoyed the course, the lively atmosphere, and look forward to playing it again one day.

Given the cold weather, rains the few days before, and the business, I expected a slow day on a beat-up course. But I couldn't have been more pleased with the condition of the course and the perks. While $120 is higher than I'd like to pay for public golf, when you throw in a beer, burger, and chips, range balls, putting green access, and get us around in under 4 hours on a holiday weekend, I'm thrilled. Given the time of year, the course was in great condition, especially the greens. Challenging and rolling fast, but true. The layout was great and provided a challenge for the better golfers in our group but kept our less experienced golfers entertained as well. Will 100% play here again next time I'm back in the Franklin area.

I think the food was good and I was very surprised that it tasted as fresh as it did. Often times, when at country clubs, places do not have the freshest taste when dining plated style and not buffet style. Whoever the chef is needs to know he makes a great asparagus! Only thing I'd complain about is the parking lot. It isn't overwhelming to park, but there is a lot of construction going on, and poor signage for directions on where to go when first approaching to find the place. Otherwise, I liked my visits here the last couple of times I've been!

DO NOT JOIN THIS CLUB unless you are an absolute self loathing golf junkie. Temple Hills is not an…read moreactual country club. It's a golf course that also happens to have a pool and a grille. Before you join, you should talk to at least 3 different members and ask them about their experience at Temple Hills and if ownership ever actually makes them feel like they are a member of a country club. I was, up until recently, a member for over 10 years and I can promise that anyone leaving a positive review on this site is not a member. You will never feel like a member of a country club while being here - other than paying $745 a month in dues, which doesn't include carts ($225 month), and XLife ($75). Save your money and just play as a guest! You could play here as a guest 8 times a month, still come out cheaper than being a member, and not have to deal with the frustrations of having your dues increase every year and getting nothing in return. Temple Hills isn't member owned, but it hasn't always been this bad. For the past 6 years, it's been owned by a vampire conglomerate corporation called Invited Clubs (go read their reviews. Maybe it's time for another rebrand?). Invited Clubs runs the place exactly like private equity would - they suck every last penny out of the club and reinvest nothing back. Our biggest investment/addition to our dilapidated club house last year was a $100 air compressor to clean your shoes before you enter so that we protect our grease stained carpet squares. Come tour the facilities and you will see exactly why everyone here despises the owners. Notice all the beautiful pictures on the wall in the hallway are of OTHER INVITED COUNTRY CLUBS, not ours. Talk about a slap in the face having to see that every time you enter the club house. For years, we've been promised upgrades. We've gone through multiple GM's and golf pros and nothing ever gets better because the ownership stays the same - just like the furniture and terrible food. Do not believe them when they say they are going to make investments. Our only hope was that Invited would eventually sell the place. I mentioned XLife earlier. This is an additional monthly charge that allows members to get half off dine in (only) food. Here's the problems with that - the food is terrible and overpriced. Also, Invited has clamped down so hard on spending, the restaurant is closed at least 3 days a week "due to staffing issues," even though your dues pay for them to be open. They also make zero food from scratch here, just reheated/fried Sysco slop. The best you can get in the mornings is a microwaved sausage biscuit, but only on the weekends and not until 9:30 when the "cook" finally shows up. I can promise that you will never entertain a client over a meal in the restaurant. It's that embarrassing. We didn't have a legit chef the last 5 years I was there, just a busted Waffle House crew that smells like weed. Usually, a place with food this terrible has great drink specials, but not here. We paid more for a beer at our country club than we do for any bar in the area. Seriously, you'll have a better and cheaper meal at Chili's. And the hardest part of it all to digest while you're shucking out $1k monthly is that MANAGEMENT DOES NOT CARE. They've already got your monthly dues in their pocket and that's good enough for them. The members would actually be better served if they leased the kitchen to someone else who has incentive to serve great food and keep the place packed. My advice to anyone thinking of joining here is to go visit Old Natchez, Nashville Golf Club, Westhaven, and Legends. Notice the facilities and amenities - the parking lot, the clubhouse, the restaurant, the furniture, and the menu. Take inventory of the vibe with the staff. How are they dressed and how do they present themselves? Does it look like they are reinvesting back into the club? Then come visit Temple Hills. The differences between here and other clubs are staggering, but keep in mind, the monthly dues are all cheaper elsewhere! Yes, Temple Hills has no waiting list and very low initiation fees, but there's a reason. The signs of a poorly managed business are everywhere as soon as you step onto the property and into the clubhouse. Don't make the same mistake I made. Talk to an actual member before you join!!!!!! To the management at Temple Hills - Before you reach out to me on here to dispel my opinion of the club, just know that I raised these concerns for 6 years and you did nothing. Too late now.

And, I should now add, to hang out at places like the Vanderbilt Legends Club. I love how wonderfully Southern & Franklin the space is. Whether you're here to play golf, attend an event or get a taste of the metro, the Club doesn't disappoint. Just getting to the Club is fun. Off of 31, you turn on to Legends Club Lane and drive & drive. You drive past & through gorgeous grounds that let you know, without a doubt, where you are and what to expect. Once you park, you enter into a lovely space that more's ski chalet than Southern manse... but the feel is undeniably Southern. I'm not much of a golfer but I'm a helluva drinker and I could imagine many afternoons spent having some beer or whiskey (or, both) and working on a deal of some sort. As it was, I was here for an event to which I could wear my tweed and bow tie and I was very satisfied with how everything wound up. Perfect for winter (cozy environs, stone, fireplace) or summer (high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows), if you live in the area and have some golf players/lovers in the family, plan your next engagement, 1st birthday party, wedding reception, etc. here and your guests are sure to enjoy.
