Located in Williamson County, The Grove is a private 1,100-acre gated community and the golfing centrepiece is a Greg Norman Signature Design, which is fast becoming known as one of Middle Tennessee’s best layouts.
The Grove (not “The Grove Golf Club” or “The Grove Country Club”; just “The Grove”) is a private community located in the suburbs of Nashville.
Privacy is part of its appeal, as maintaining an every-blade-of-grass approach is one of its major selling points. That said, providing a challenging course for its best players is also emphasized (Greg Norman was the designer, after all). The club advertises “fairways kept at tour heights” and “greens rolling at US Open speeds.” The latter is a warning to those who might be overly aggressive when attacking birdie putts.
The course travels in two distinct loops between its front and back nines, wrapping around the housing development planned alongside the route. Both feature a combination of water hazards, provided by both manmade ponds as well as McCrory Creek, which flows vertically through the property.
If the water doesn’t spook you, the yardage might: The course plays more than 7,350 yards from the Norman tees. A significant chunk of that yardage comes at No. 11, a par five that plays nearly 630 yards from the back.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
