Great price, great add ons, friendly staff and members! Greens were fast and true, very rare for a public course!

The fairways were all entirely dead grass. The ground was essentially concrete. I broke 4 tees just trying to stick it into the tee box as the ground was rock hard. Worst conditions I’ve played in a while. Additionally, the starter didn’t know what he was doing and made me wait 5 minutes while he argued with the pro shop about if I was actually on the list as they kept telling him I was supposed to be teeing off. Just a miserable experience from start to finish.

A complete 180° turn from when Brooks West took over. He has turned this course into a fun track with an incredible training facility featuring a full driving range, short game area, and the second largest putting green in the state of TN. Scott and Elijah are pioneering the Franklin Bridge Performance Institute with clinics for all ages. The Persimmon Pub is now offering some delicious entrées and have extended their hours as well.The staff does an incredible job and it's fun to see this place improve every year.

It’s beautiful! You guys have done an incredible job turning the place around. My buddy and I played 18 holes in the spring and it felt like a brand new course. Nice to now have a nicer public course in Williamson County to play.

Dustin Thomas provides excellent service and guidance for coaching and club fitting. He is incredibly knowledgeable in swing improvement and I always leave my lesson excited to implement his suggestions. His club fitting experience is very thorough and uses top notch technology to explain why certain equipment is best suited for my swing. I highly recommend taking lessons or scheduling a club fitting with Dustin Thomas!

Customer service could definitely use an upgrade.The course is in good condition. But severely overpriced. Severely...The range I think needs some work, it's overpriced and doesn't offer nearly enough for the money.

Just joined and I have been enjoying my time here! Great atmosphere and the staff are spectacular! I would recommend this place 1000 times over just because of the people that work there.

This course is run with passion and pride. Course improvements and culture elevate the experience. It has come a long way in a few short years.

Everyone was great the staff could not have been any more accommodating. We had an amazing time with my boys. The price of burgers and drinks are also affordable. I think it’s only $20 to bring your kids.

I play here quite a bit as it is my local course… beyond that I hit the range (and when it was open, the chipping green) just about every day. I have had the enjoyment of grinding here from a 20+ handicap down to a 3.2 in about 2 years of hard work. The course has come a long way and I’ve enjoyed calling this place my home. The improvements have been tremendous, especially to the practice area, and I know Brook’s heart is in the right spot.I’ve given the course 4 stars for a few reasons:First, I hate coming off the mats here and going on the grass… not because the driving range grass is bad, it’s mainly the people who practice here believe their clubs are actually shovels and the best way to hit the ball is from 6 inches under the dirt. I would love it if there was a balance between designated grass days and mats days, that would be a game changer. Either that or a grass only and a mats only area.Second, still on the driving range, they have recently added new flags out there to aim at but it would really be great if there were more targets of better quality (better quality meaning flags with greens and known distances not just random flags in the ground) as well as chipping targets (hermitage GC has cool little steel targets about the size of a truck tire that they place 30-50 yards away from the hitting area).3rd, as mentioned, I really enjoy playing here, but, for non-river club members it’s pricey ($100 on the weekends). My friends simply do not want to pay that rate for this course so when we play together we go elsewhere. To that point, however, in the winter, as a RC member, it’s like $10 for a round after 3pm on the weekdays which is awesome. I would love it if there was a discount offered to friends of RC members on the day of play as long as they are in the same 4-some.Now back to what I think makes this place special.4, 13, and 18 are all par 4’s that require less than driver. 7, 8, and 10 are all good risk/reward holes that require a great drive in a small landing area or laying up short with a longer approach/ having to get there in 3 instead of 2 (at least on 7 and 10). What this means is between 3 and 6 you don’t pull driver and then again between 12 and 15 so you have to maintain your swing/feels between large gaps of not using everyone’s favorite/ most hated and feared club.There are good mixes of short, long, and wild grasses/ foliage. Wayward shots in the wrong areas will cause you to lose your ball, BUT, it’s Williamson county… go in the sh*t and you’ll walk out with a handful of Pro V1’s… the golf gods give and take I guess haha.Water comes into play on 2, 4 and 7 (sort of), 9 (when it is back open the way it’s intended to be), 10 if your drive is long and right of center, 13, 17, and 18. On the flip side, 1 and 6 are drivable par 4’s for longer hitters and 2, 7, 10, and 17 are all par 5’s that are reachable in 2 if your tee shot works out nicely. The par 3’s then all bring you back down to earth as many of them are over 200 yards from the tips so a birdie there is hard earned and celebrated. All this to say you can attack this place, play it safe, and go through the track completely differently every time you play it.@Brooks, please take the above “gripes” as constructive suggestions. I really do love this place and all you have done/ continue to do here. You’ve put your heart into FB and it shows. I’ll be coming here for years to come!

Had friends in from from NC and FL. Will never again recommend this course under current ownership. The worst was the overbearing starters and Marshall. They had at least 6 fairways closed to carts (no rain) yet they drove carts onto the tee boxes while we were on them for maintenance! Then complained to us about entering fairways too early before their unmarked stakes. Rudely approached us saying we were 23 minutes behind after we teed off on 14 when we had waited numerous times on the front nine and on 11,12 and even 14! Tee boxes were often mostly sand, unlevel, greens had many bare spots with trench repairs and numerous areas of nothing but dirt in close proximity to greens. This course was much better run when it was Forrest Crossing.

This course was a lot of fun. Not super long but have to play some target golf and the greens were really fast. Overall great day

Very nice track. Layout was fair, Course under some repairs due to getting ready for amateur qualifier. Big range. Pro shop staff was friendly, and gals in restaurant were super. I was there visiting but if I lived there, it would be a constant stop to play and practice

It’s a nice course, but their prices have gone up drastically since last year. It seems they are going for a more higher end public course feel, or maybe going private in the future. Either way, it’s always busy there, but it’s a great public course.
