Disc golf on a ball golf course, executed to a high level.

-Upkeep: The course is pristine, as you'd kind of expect on a ball golf course. Some of the rough on the technical holes (like (2), (17), and (18)) is a bit thick, but the fairways are clear and it's still manageable. Notable exception to this pro is the teepads--see cons.

-Terrain: The only other golf course I've disced on was ultra-boring, but Nashboro impressed me with its diversity of terrain. There are some big hills, a nice creek used several times, and a good mix of wooded and even thick forest holes throw in with the open shots. The number of holes where you're driving straight down a golf fairway is less than a handful (and all of those have pockets at the end).

-Challenge and Length: The back tees come in at over 8000 feet, making this a substantial track. However, it isn't a one-dimensional challenge, and that length has to be played smartly. Adding to the challenge are the Strikezone targets, which make putting substantially harder. I'd peg it as upper intermediate or advanced-level difficulty from the longs.

-Shot Shaping/Gameplay: A diverse challenge that I found to be a total blast. Five par-4s and two par-5s are mostly true multi-shot holes. The mix is of technical, open, and in-between, but I didn't find there to be any totally boring holes. The technical holes, though short (or short portions of multi-shot holes), will have all but needle-threaders quaking, but standing a chance. The open holes do a fantastic job of providing interesting greens or other challenges. I love (3) and (8), which play downhill over beautiful creeks to challenging greens. Multi-shot open holes let you go big, but a smart drive will make the approaches into treelines far easier. Two examples are (1), a downhill drive fading right into a tight tunnel, and (9), a par-5 starting with a right-turning drive that then plays down a fairway and has a couple of tree-defined options to go over the creek to a windy green. There are a few holes in between these two sides that play through considerable trees but have more line-choosing flexibility in an older style a la Brahan or Henry Horton.

-Flow: The flow actually makes a lot of sense, despite there being long transitions. The rule is either go to the next tee you see or follow the cart path until you see another tee. Some signs also get you pointed in the right direction.

-Multi-Tees: I feel obliged to mention that there are two tees on many holes. However, I don't believe the short tees have pads and are just natural.

-Second Course: Fun little par-36 course is also on site.

Quite a few minor issues, but nothing that detracts too much.

-Signage: Signage only holds a QR code that you have to scan to view the digital sign. This is really quite bothersome, and I wish they could design and install some really nice signs to match the quality of gameplay out here. Unfortunately, a groundskeeper advised me that the designer, not the country club, paid for all the baskets out here, so the odds of the club putting up money for nice tee signs seems pretty low.

-Tees: The tees don't get a lot of love. They are turf in varying conditions, but some of them are being overtaken by mud. On the bright side, there were several noticeably new turf pads out here, so perhaps they are slowly replacing the worst ones.

-Golf Course: A couple of things go with this. First, you have to yield to golfers, which was only an issue for me once on the two courses. Second, there is a greens fee. At $4 for both courses all day, it was incredibly worth it. Third, there are some pretty long walks between holes (more designed with carts in mind). Of course, on a dry day you can just pay $6 and get the cart included. Fourth, tee times are limited to Monday-Thursday. Fifth, I imagine exposure is an issue during the summer months, but that's a pretty common problem on non-technical courses in this area.

-Beginner-Friendly: It's not. Don't bring a beginner. The long holes will be too long, and the short holes will be too tight. Not to mention the baskets are too small.

From reading reviews, I thought Nashboro was likely another over-hyped bomber course that would be rather dismal, like the other golf course I've played. I'm exceedingly glad to say that it was not, and it is just barely my new favorite course in Nashville. It provides a really good balance to the technical gameplay common at the other top courses in the area (Cedar Hill, Seven Oaks, Cane Ridge), but it still has some technical elements and some plain fun shots, especially downhill shots over creeks. I wholly recommend checking out the course if in the area on weekdays.

-Strikezone Targets: The baskets are Prodigy Strikezones, which are ultra-thin targets. I'm not calling this a pro or a con because I do not want to get embroiled in the "should the basket be smaller?" discussion. However, it is very important to note this and consider whether you will enjoy it or hate your day because of it.

Like others have posted, it is so cool to play a round of golf while playing on a great ball course and riding in a cart! I read on the FB page that they where playing league on an afternoon that I was in town so I made it a point to make it there. First off, Jesse the course designer is awesome! A great representative of the course and the cool vibe there. I ended up on a card with Shawn, Bobby & Thomas. Great guys that made me feel at home. There a few 700'-plus par 5 holes, a couple of holes that you throw over water and a bunch of holes if you threw out of the fairway there was severe penalty of going into briar bushes! This wasn't the first time I played on a ball course but I gotta say it flowed nicely. Great job on the designers and the course it self for taking the chance on allowing DG'rs play on the same course.

There was a map on the courses FB page, printed maps and better signage on the course would be great for newbies.

This will hopefully serve as an example for other ball courses to consider adding disc golf to they're course for additional revenue stream.

It really is hard to beat the feeling you get while playing discgolf on a piece of property this beautiful while cruising around in a golf cart. This par 63 course is very challenging at over 8,200' and has a surprising mixture of wooded holes to go along with the long openness I originally thought of when I heard that they were installing a discgolf course on this golf course. OB's are everywhere in the form of water, roads, golf greens, and bunkers. Advanced and professional golfers are encouraged to also play all cart paths and beyond as OB. In my opinion, it's a lot more fun to play the tougher version of this course. The course staff are incredibly friendly and the head groundskeeper is a avid discgolfer. At $10 a round with cart included, I can't really think of a better way to spend 3 hours after work than playing on manicured fairways while their staff drive up and ask me if I need any frosty beverages(adult or otherwise).

Great overall experience!

The course is new. Several teepads are woodchips as the course staff are still experimenting with placements. I have been told that they are looking into better long term options but for now the woodchips are what they've got. Navigation the first time through the course was difficult in a couple of spots. Be sure to pick up a map at the clubhouse before you set out because while the tee markers do give you footages for the hole, they do not currently point you towards the next tee. Course is only available for discgolf during select hours and is completely closed on Tuesdays. Be sure to check the hours of operation on the course info page before setting out.

Starting off hole 1 with a long downhill bomb par 5 lets you immediately know that this course aims to be taken seriously.

Hole 2 is a short uphill shot that asks you to either thread the needle down the middle or play it wide over OB cart path the entire way and fade back inbounds for the putt.

Hole 3 is another long open hole with the only real trouble being the treeline to the left.

Hole 4 is a low skip shot around the corner that can be birdied with 350' of power.

To me the water shots on holes 5 and 6 alone are worth your time to go see. Both require power and precision to hit the designated landing zones.

Hole 7 plays along an OB creek that requires a 325' turnover shot all the while avoiding the low ceiling.

Hole 8 asks can you throw 400' and make an uphill putt as the basket is placed along a ridge that is capable of giving punishing rollouts.

Hole 9 is the shortest hole on the course at just over 200' but is rarely birdied with it's tight fairway.

Hole 10 is another downhill bomber par 4 that is currently birdied with regularity. We asked the course creator if he intended to change the par on the hole and he informed us that they are in the process of carving out a deeper pin position to give everyone the challenge they intended.

Hole 11 is a low tunnel that encourages a skip off the hard pan for your birdie.

Hole 12 tees off a ridge and has you throwing 400' back down towards the creek on hole 7.

Hole 13 comes out of a wooded tunnel and crosses over top of a deep bunker.

Hole 14 is very similar to hole 2 in that there are multiple options to allow you to birdie the hole but all require perfect execution.

Hole 15 is my favorite hole on the course with it being the last of the long downhill open holes with trees to each side and a pair of bunkers within 50' of the pin.

Hole 16 is the last downhill hole on the course and offers a tunnel shot off the tee that opens up towards a golf green with several strategic trees punishing errant shots.

Hole 17 is a massive uphill par 5 that will give the biggest of arms a legitimate eagle opportunity. For us mere mortals, the secret is to maximize your straight distance on your first 3 shots to have a chance at a birdie putt.

Hole 18 finishes with a short uphill low ceiling shot with the pin positioned on a hillside. To me the potential for rollouts here is more dangerous than the distance so you really need to stick the landing if you want to finish with a birdie.

Overall I loved playing this course and would encourage any of you traveling through middle TN to take 4 hours to check it out while you are in town.
