Description

Overview

McCabe Golf Course, located just minutes from downtown Nashville, is a 27-hole golf course and practice facility. Voted the best place to play by the Nashville Scene magazine in 2014, the original eighteen holes were built in 1942 and have large, tree-lined fairways and sand bunkers. An additional nine hole course was added several years later to complete the 27-hole course. McCabe can be very challenging for the experienced golfer, yet also provides a great venue for beginning golfers.

McCabe Golf Course underwent a major renovation in May 2007, which included rebuilding green and tee complexes, and installing a double-row irrigation system. In 2007, the North Course was redesigned to accommodate a driving range. The driving range opened in March 2012 and features 27 hitting stations on a two-level tee open year round. It has target greens in the landing areas and provides an outstanding practice venue for golfers of all skill levels. Hit off the finest Bermuda grass tee in town April 15 to November 15. In Winter, hit from our outstanding Astroturf tees.
