Review
“Hillwood is a pleasant golf club located on gently rolling terrain on the outskirts of Nashville. The course starts out with a demanding several holes including the heavily-bunkered 588 yard par-5 3rd and the dogleg left 468-yard par-4 4th with a large tree with overhanging limbs impeding approach shots from the left side of the fairway. Dick Wilson's green complexes at Hillwood are strategic and interesting. A good example is the par-3 5th hole, where meaningful side slopes off the left and right edge of the green making it play much more narrow than appears. A few holes in the middle section of the course I found somewhat lacking in distinctiveness and variety. I also found the par-3's in aggregate to be too uniform in length and style. In contrast, the risk/reward par-5 17th, with a variety of angles and decisions complicated by a meandering creek just past the turn of the dogleg, was a strong standout. Greens rolled smooth and true, and the course was generally nice and firm."

“A nice country club course that is immaculate, good condition, wide fairways and speedy greens protected by bunkers. It has held multiple Tennessee championships and one US Women's Senior Amateur."

“The course is interesting and a good "member's course" after a recent renovation. Not a course you'd travel to play though."
