Overview: Belle Meade is a private Nashville course on the historic Belle Meade property, with Bermuda fairways, bentgrass greens and a classic parkland setting. The 18-hole layout is par 72 and measures about 6,885 yards from the back tees. Mature trees, Richland Creek and varied par-three distances make the course strategic despite its compact urban location.
History: The club began as Nashville Golf and Country Club in 1901, moved to the Belle Meade plantation property in 1916 and adopted the Belle Meade name in 1921. H. H. Barker is associated with the original course on the property, while Donald Ross redesigned and refined it between 1917 and 1921, with later Ross work recorded in 1932.
Did You Know? Belle Meade’s golf course is a layered architectural document. H. H. Barker’s early work, Donald Ross’s redesigns and later refinements are all part of its identity, so the current layout is better understood as an evolving Nashville classic than as the work of one architect at one moment.
