Description: Located in the newest, farthest reaches of the ever-expanding metropolitan area, this daily-fee course has generally wide-open Bermuda fairways and modern TifEagle Bermuda greens of generous size. Accuracy keeps the ball out of the rough, but misses aren’t penalized too much. Par is 72 on these 6,970 yards, designed by Kevin Tucker of Nashville. John Lisman is the PGA golf professional. He owns the course, and he might just be the one who loads your clubs on the cart, sells you your greens fees, tells you where not to hit, and what kinds of sandwiches are on hand. You gotta like that! Plenty of homesites are still vacant, and given how quickly the memberships have sold, buying a homesite is the only way remaining to wiggle into a membership. Golfers can enjoy the new clubhouse. Daily-fee players trade $40 for a greens fee and cart in summer, $35 in winter.
