Belle Meade Country Club

The Belle Meade Country Club is one of Nashville's most prestigious private clubs, and is one of many Golf courses Donald Ross blessed the state of Tennessee with.

There have been numerous contribution to the design over the years, with the most notable contribution the work of Robert Trent Jones during the early 1950s (which is the reason for the imposing Peninsular Green at no. 16). A the dammed Belle Meade branch makes provides the main hazard of the club, and the wider waterway offers couple of forced transports.

The course measures less than 6,900 yards from back tees. A lot golf holes will be too intimidating for a long-hitting golfer (aside from fairways that are lined with trees that force the need for precision). If a tiger is at ease with these relatively small distances by the time the hole is reached. 17 Ross is able to make some wake-up calls prior to when the tiger is released. The hole has the highest length of par five on Belle Meade, more than 50 yards more than the second-longest hole at the club. The final par four is not far from being the longest par five on the course with 478 yards. it's just 25 yards away from the mark.
