Greystone Golf Club
Nashville, Tennessee
A Mark McCumber design in Dickson west of Nashville, Greystone offers a solid public golf experience through Middle Tennessee terrain. The well-maintained layout features wooded hills, creeks, and good variety.
History & Heritage
Greystone Golf Club opened in 1998, designed by 10-time PGA Tour winner Mark McCumber with Mike Nuzzo. McCumber\'s firm has designed over 40 courses globally. Located about 40 miles west of Nashville in Dickson, the course has served as a PGA Tour Q-School (Qualifying School) host site and hosted numerous Tennessee state golf events.
Named to "Top 10 Tennessee Courses You Can Play" lists, Greystone offers genuine championship caliber at public-access pricing — a combination that makes it a standout value in the Nashville region.
Signature Holes
Renowned for its beauty and difficulty — described by players as "beautifully hard." The fairway is one of the most visually striking on the course, demanding both an accurate tee shot and a precise approach.
A mid-length par 5 with a spacious fairway guarded by a tree line and creek, setting the tone for the course. Risk-reward decisions start early.
What to Expect
Dramatic Middle Tennessee elevation changes give Greystone strong visual appeal. The terrain features wooded areas, creeks, and rolling hills throughout. The back nine (holes 10-18) is particularly praised for variety and challenge.
A good mix of hole variety — some genuinely challenging, some more forgiving — creates a fair test across skill levels. When well-maintained, it plays as a top-notch public offering with PGA Tour Q-School pedigree.
At $35-65, this represents excellent value for the caliber of Mark McCumber design work.
Playing Tips
Respect the elevation changes. Uphill and downhill shots require careful club adjustments throughout the round.
Some holes feature forced carries, so know your distances honestly before committing to aggressive lines.
Fairway placement is critical on the tighter holes, especially on the back nine where the challenge increases.
The course has been tested by aspiring PGA Tour professionals during Q-School — play smart and take your medicine when out of position.
