Cedar Crest Golf Club
About
Cedar Crest Golf Club in Murfreesboro sprawls across rolling farmland accented with groves of mature trees. The fairways on the front nine are wide open but they become narrower and tree lined on the back nine. The greens play fast and true and they are also well conditioned. There are not many sand traps to contend with but a smattering of elevation changes throughout the golf course cause an occasional uneven lie. Seasoned golfers looking for a challenge won't find it here but what you will find is a relaxed atmosphere that is ideal for a quick, casual round that is player friendly enough for beginners. In addition to the course, Cedar Chest Golf Club offers extensive practice facilities including a driving range and a two-tiered practice green.

Fun layout
I have played this course many times and find the course to be a good layout with several short, but very tight holes. The only problem is the course has a fungus plague a few holes. It’s also too bad that too many golfers don’t fix their ball marks on the green. I will continue to play this course and repair ball marks. The range could use to trim a few trees down because some limbs block you out.
Great first experience
We typically play Pine Creek GC, but after learning about Cedar Crest, wanted to try it out for a change of pace and was pleasantly surprised. After Windtree closed in Mt. Juliet several years ago, Pine Creek became the least expensive and closest option in the area. While not especially long from the white tees, Cedar Crest is much tighter than Pine Creek. This added to the difficulty. While some fairways are under repair (as of 7/24/23), it didn't take away from the course being enjoyable. Greens are in GREAT shape, but I will say this: if you're reading this and you're one of the aholes that doesn't fix your ball mark on the green, learn some etiquette. Driving range available with mats. No GPS on golf carts, but carts are in good shape and quick.
Excellent course
Overall, great courses. The fairways are challenging and the greens are in good shape. My only negative complaint is the driving range net needs to be fixed or replaced. The 18th hole near where you will probably be standing for your approach shot is directly to the right of a net. There are about 200 balls on the 18th hole fairway. Don’t hit a white ball on 18.
Didn’t even get to tee off cuz of rain.
Course can’t control rain but guy at the desk was rude to everyone about giving rain checks. Not a good way to treat customers.
Good course in Middle Tennessee
First time playing this hidden gem. Somewhat off the beaten path, but at a price of $38 for golf and a cart, it's hard to beat. Like other area courses, some winter kill , but grounds saff is re-sodding those areas. Front nine is relatively open, but back nine is tree lined and required a more controlled shot.
Will go back in the future.
Singles
The course was fairly crowded but the staff allowed singles to play and no marshal was in the first tee or on the course
Improved Course
This course has improved over the last few years and they are still working on improvements. I said this because the Tee Boxes still needs some work on various holes and you can see the progress at this course.
The course is challenging for all level of golfers. The club house and the patio at the club house is great. If you are going to eat at the turn, you better call your order in at hole 8 to avoid delays. The staff is friendly and they are accommodating.
