McCabe Golf Course

It’s tough to grade this track, really. I played the North course I believe, and how can you really complain about $ 9 or $ 12 or whatever it is for a nice walk on nine holes. I’ve played many of the great courses across this country, and this certainly isn’t one of them, but it’s in a great neighborhood and women jog the track around it. Definitely worth the money.

Decent course, and I’d love to write positively about it, but some members of our group were new so we were moving a little slow. An older group behind us wasn’t happy with our speed of play so they complained and we got kicked off the course after 6 holes. Management wasn’t interested in hearing what we had to say. Just really pathetic treatment of customers for a public course.

It’s convenient, easy to play, and inexpensive. BUT, they could definitely improve on somethings and make it a much more enjoyable experience. If you are booking tee times, there’s no reason for the 45 minute back-​ups in the middle of rounds. You have enough staff people sitting around being angry, just make one of them a starter. It’s frustrating to make a tee time a week in advance only to get there and find you’re behind 4 groups on the second tee.

A golf oasis in a busy part of town for you to get away and play a quick nine or practice at the driving range putting area. Course Conditions and pace of play are good except on weekends and some green collar /​tee box patches are worn.
he pro shop has balls and rental clubs. Beer and fare are available too .
The friendly pro staff and all these features make this course a gem.

A good city owned course. The tee boxes need a lot of work, and the fairways could be in better shape. But all in all, it’s a good value and each of the three nines are very playable.

This place is one of the better public courses in the area. A great place to play or practice, they offer 8 – 12 dollar driving range packages. They also have a practice sand trap, chipping green, and putting green on the opposite side of the clubhouse from the driving range. Call ahead because this place packs up especially on the weekend. They offer hot sandwiches, beer, and snacks in the clubhouse. This place is packed with bad golfers so it is apparent you will get many many fore calls with a thought in your brain as to «where was he/​she aiming.»

I’m a big fan of this course for a couple reasons:
1. I’m not good enough of a golfer to be overly critical of the minor details.
2. It’s very reasonably priced for the experience you get.
3. It is very well-​kept for a public course, and the scenery is really nice.
4. It’s a nice combination of open layout with some fairly challenging holes mixed in.
The only negative experience from my first time playing here was in the realm of what you’d expect on a very reasonably priced public course: more than once the open layout aided inexperienced golfers to drive their carts into our line while we teed off… we almost hit an unsuspecting cart driver who, in chasing an errant tee shot from another hole onto our fairway, drove right into the flight path of our tee shot without checking to see if we were hitting. Isolated incident and certainly not enough to discourage me from coming back.
I’ll definitely be back!

Pretty decent course with a reasonable price. Plays open like a links course would. I have had a few good experiences here and one horrible due to the rangers not taking actions. Overall good times though.

I’ve been playing at McCabe for two years now, so it’s high time I got around to writing a review.
Layout: Easily played course. There is almost no water, few fairway bunkers, and the rough is kept fairly short. Shouldn’t be a challenge for a mid-​handicapper. That said, there are some challenging shots, and some of the greens have multiple tiers and tricky slopes.
Condition: This is a Nashville Muni course, and in spite of that, it’s usually in pretty good repair. They do a good job keeping the tee boxes, fairways, and greens in decent order.
Extras: No driving range, which is a pretty big drag. There is a decent putting green, and a chipping green as well. These tend to get pretty crowded on the weekend, but I suppose it’s better than nothing.
Fees/​Service: The fees are still pretty reasonable to walk, but with the new carts the course purchased in the past year, it’s become very expensive to ride. $ 25 to walk 18, and over $ 38 to ride. I know that the course is using the carts as a profit-​leader, but this is a bit stiff. When you consider that carts should be required– considering how many groups they push through on a busy day– it seems like price-​gouging.

This is probably my favorite public course in town. I am a new golfer so I am looking for picturesque and pretty straight forward. McCabe fits both those bills for me.
The price is reasonable and as I said there are enough trees and change in direction and elevation that the course feels like you are doing a lot of moving around. However, there isn’t really much if any water and the fairways are pretty flat so it’s good for a beginning golfer.
I also love to go during the week went he senior citizens are out. They host some seniors clubs so you may end up having to wait a bit for a tee time but they seniors are all really friendly. Anyway, no pretense from them and they will cheer you on.

I’m giving this public golf course 4 stars, but need to preface that by saying that I’m not a golfer! I have played this course a few times though – with work «team building» outings. I had a great time, and as a non-​golfer, it was challenging but not terrible. This course, I hear, is great for beginners or for those who just want to practice their game.
It is very inexpensive to play, as far as courses go – $ 11 for 9 holes, $ 12 on weekends. Double that of course for a full 18 holes. They have everything for rental there as well (extra, but not big, fees apply). Golf carts, push carts, clubs… you basically don’t have to own any golf paraphernalia!
In all, it’s a 27-​hole course, and the entire thing has recently been fully renovated – the «South Course» in 2006, and the «North Course» in 2007. I do hear from more avid golfers that the renovations have greatly improved this public course, and have made it a bit more challenging.
If you just want to play a round on a nice day and don’t want to spend a lot of money, or want to try out the game to see if it’s for you before you sink a ton of money into the sport, try out McCabe. It’s no fancy course, but worth 4 stars in value and that it’s good for folks of all ages and abilities.
