About Nashville National Golf Links
Nashville National Golf Links is an 18-hole course in Joelton, Tennessee, laid out among limestone bluffs and framed by the surrounding Tennessee landscape. Scenic elevation change runs through the property, and Sycamore Creek winds across the grounds.
The course is managed with an emphasis on golf itself, with ongoing updates to the layout and amenities, and a relaxed, unhurried atmosphere away from the city.
