What the words mean
The industry uses these loosely and it costs people money. Here they are used precisely.
Municipal
Owned by the city and open to anyone. Book a tee time and play.
Daily fee
Privately owned, open to the public. No membership required, though most sell an optional pass that only buys a discount.
Resort
Open to the public and attached to a hotel. Expect resort pricing and resort pace.
Private, open to application
Members only, but the club accepts inquiries from anyone. You do not have to be introduced and you do not have to live nearby.
Private, tied to ownership
Membership runs with property in the community. Buying in is how you get in, and the membership is usually a separate cost from the house.
Private, by invitation
Members only, and the club states that inquiries must come through a current member. There is no application to fill in.
The mistake that costs the most
Buying a house on a golf course and assuming the golf comes with it. Across every community on this page, not one publishes that membership comes with the property. The clubs sit at very different points on the question and the range is wider than people expect. Westhaven runs a membership program separate from the neighborhood and its own form asks whether you live there as its own question. The Grove has residents choose between a sports membership and a golf membership, which means most residents by definition do not have the course. Grasslands states that membership is awarded at the sole discretion of the general manager and the board, so a Fairvue or Foxland homeowner can be declined. Firefly runs the other way entirely and makes membership mandatory for every resident.
Ask the club before you write the offer, not after. If you want, I will ask for you and get it in writing.
Franklin, Brentwood and College Grove. This is where the private club golf is, and it is worth knowing that only one eighteen hole course in the entire county is open to the public. Everything else is either nine holes or behind a membership.

Homes on the course
Yes, homes line the course, but the relationship is the reverse of the newer clubs. The 215 acre club came first and the subdivision followed in 1987 with 140 custom home lots. Buying a house here does not join you to the club and does not oblige you to.

How you get on
Membership or as the accompanied guest of a member. There are no public tee times. This is the one most often reported wrong: it was reachable in its early years and went private in 2008, and directories still list it as semi private under its old name. Outings and events are booked through the club, which is the realistic route for a group.

Not publishedWhether Vanderbilt owns the club outright or holds a stake is stated differently by the university and by trade press. Guest round limits are not published.
Membership, and the club runs its own program separate from the neighborhood. Three categories are published: Full Golf, which the club describes as access to all facilities Tuesday through Sunday and selected holidays; National, written for people who do not live within seventy five miles of the club, permanently or part time; and Dining, which covers the clubhouse and its social calendar and not the course. The membership inquiry form asks whether you live in Westhaven as its own separate question, which is the tell. Living there and playing there are two different transactions.

Homes on the course
None on the course. This is the unusual one. The course was routed as a core eighteen through the middle of a fifteen hundred acre community and no homes line the fairways, which is close to the opposite of how a golf neighborhood is normally built. If you want a house that looks at golf, this is not the place to shop, and that is a design decision rather than an oversight.

Sits inside Westhaven, which carries its own town center, a residents club, roughly twenty parks and about nine miles of trails. The neighborhood guide on this site covers the housing side
Not publishedThe club does not publish whether Westhaven residency is required for a Full Golf membership, only that National is for people outside seventy five miles. Ask the club directly before you assume a house here buys you tee times.
Membership, and the club publishes two tiers rather than one. Full Golf Sports carries golf, tennis, swimming, fitness and dining. Sports carries tennis, swimming, fitness and dining with no golfing privileges. That second tier matters if you are buying nearby for the neighborhood rather than for the course, because it is a real option and it is cheaper than the one people assume they have to buy.

Yes. The course runs through the Old Natchez neighborhood off Hillsboro Road in west Franklin, and homes sit on it.
A par 70, which is unusual here and makes it play tighter and shorter than the Williamson County average
The two tier membership is the thing to notice. Buying in the neighborhood does not commit you to a golf membership
Not publishedThe club does not publish an application process, a sponsorship requirement or an opening year, and the aggregators disagree on the year by decades, so no year is stated here. Whether membership terms differ by section of the neighborhood is worth asking about directly.
Membership, and this is the most open door of the four private clubs in Franklin. It is operated by Invited, the national club company, which means a published membership page, a reciprocal network at other Invited clubs and a process you can start online instead of waiting for a sponsor. Guests can play with a member, and the club states outright that you can host a golf outing here whether or not you are a member, which is the one realistic way to see the place first.

The only 27 hole club in Williamson County, which means three different eighteen hole combinations rather than the same round twice
Operated by Invited, so a membership here carries access at other clubs in that network
Outings are open to non members, which makes this the easiest of the Franklin private clubs to actually get on before you commit
Not publishedInvited does not publish initiation or dues on the public page, and terms vary by category. The reciprocal list is not published either.
The only club here that publishes its model in full, and it is worth reading twice. Ownership is connected to membership, so you cannot buy a home and opt out. Membership is a separate cost from the house rather than bundled into it. And you do not have to own a home to join, because membership is open to residents and non residents both. Two categories, Sports and Golf.

This is the least documented club on the page and the honest answer is that you have to ask. Its entire membership section is a short overview and a video. No categories, no eligibility, no application, no stated residency requirement. Its amenities page does distinguish golf members from resident social members, which implies at least one category runs with the house, but the club does not say more. Local real estate content states the terms confidently; none of it traces back to the club.

Rhodes learned the game as a caddie at Belle Meade Country Club and was barred by segregation from the city courses he is now memorialized on
In 1948 Rhodes and Bill Spiller sued the PGA of America over its whites only membership clause. The suit was dropped on an informal promise that was never put in writing, and both men were shut out of PGA events until 1952

Not publishedNo architect is published for the 1953 layout or the 1992 expansion. The claim that Rhodes himself desegregated Nashville’s municipal courses is repeated often and is not supported by any record found, so it is not stated here. The 1948 PGA suit is.

Yes, and this is the trap. Fairvue Plantation is a residential golf community on Old Hickory Lake and the club names it as an associated community. But the seven membership categories contain no resident category and no residency discount. A Fairvue homeowner applies, tours and submits for management review exactly like an outside applicant, and the club reserves the decision.
Two full eighteen hole championship courses under one membership, the only setup like it in the service area, with two clubhouses, two pools and two restaurants
Fairvue bought Foxland Harbor on August 31, 2018 and merged the two clubs into Tennessee Grasslands

Yes. Foxland Harbor is a residential golf community across a cove from Fairvue on Old Hickory Lake. Two separate neighborhoods with two separate homeowner associations sharing one club, which people routinely assume is one community. It is not.

Two directories carry it as closed in 2018, one quoting a statement that the club closed its doors for good. Against that, three other large sites still list it as an active public course, and a neighborhood page nearby still describes it in the present tense. No city, county or named news source confirms it either way. A subdivision named for it is being built there now, and that subdivision advertises a pool and trails, not golf. I would not buy near this one on the strength of the course without a phone call first.
Every fact here came from the club’s own site, the city or county, Tennessee State Parks, the Tennessee Golf Association, the Tennessee PGA, the USGA or a named news source, checked in September 2026. There are no green fees, initiations or dues anywhere on this page on purpose. Those change every season and a stale number is worse than no number, so each course links to its own page instead. Where a club does not publish something, this page says so rather than filling the gap, and where the sources disagree it says that too.
