About Gaylord Springs Golf Links

Gaylord Springs Golf Links stands as Nashville's premier resort golf destination, masterfully designed by PGA Tour legend Larry Nelson to capture the essence of authentic Scottish links golf in the heart of Tennessee. This championship 7,069-yard layout opened in 1990 as part of the prestigious Gaylord Opryland Resort and has since established itself as one of the Southeast's most distinctive golf experiences.

Nelson's design philosophy showcases the dramatic elevation changes and natural beauty of the Cumberland River landscape, featuring wide fairways, deep strategic bunkers, and undulating greens that reward thoughtful course management over pure distance. The links-style layout creates a unique golfing experience rarely found in the American South, with several holes offering spectacular panoramic views of the Cumberland River and Nashville skyline.

The course has hosted numerous professional tournaments and continues to challenge golfers with its strategic design elements including pot bunkers, rolling terrain, and wind-influenced play that mirrors the traditional Scottish links experience. Each hole presents distinct challenges that demand creativity and precision, making every round a memorable test of skill and strategy.

What truly sets Gaylord Springs apart is its unique combination of championship golf and resort amenities, creating an unparalleled golf experience in Music City. With its dramatic elevation changes, scenic Cumberland River views, and Larry Nelson's masterful design, the course provides an authentic links-style challenge that showcases the natural beauty and strategic complexity that defines world-class resort golf.
