Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Cool Springs Golf Course, and what should I expect from the conditions?

We always recommend late spring, typically May, or early fall in September and October. You'll find the course in prime condition then, with the greens rolling true and the fairways lush, plus the weather is just perfect for walking those hilly back nine holes. Avoid mid-summer if you can't handle the heat; the course can get a bit baked out, though it's still playable.

What's the signature challenge or a must-experience hole at Cool Springs?

You absolutely have to brace yourself for the par-3 14th hole, affectionately known as "The Plunge." It's a dramatic downhill shot over a ravine to a well-guarded green, and it truly tests your nerve and club selection. Don't be surprised if you lose a ball or two, but the view alone makes it worth the effort.

Is Cool Springs a good value, and what's the typical cost for a round?

We consider Cool Springs one of the best values in the region, especially for the quality of the layout and conditions. You can generally expect to pay around $50-70 for a prime weekend tee time with a cart, which is a steal for a course of this caliber. Weekday twilight rates often drop even lower, making it an excellent option for a spontaneous round.

How walkable is Cool Springs, or should I definitely plan on taking a cart?

While we love a good walk, Cool Springs definitely leans towards being a cart course, especially if you're not accustomed to significant elevation changes. The transitions between holes, particularly on the back nine, can be quite steep and spread out. Save your energy for your swing and enjoy the ride.

What's the post-round experience like at Cool Springs? Any recommendations for food or drinks?

After your round, you absolutely need to hit "The Oasis Grill" in the clubhouse. Their pulled pork sandwich is surprisingly fantastic, and the local craft beer selection is always solid. It's a relaxed spot to recap your birdies and bogeys, with a great view overlooking the 18th green.
