Golf Course Communities - Brentwood TN; Live & play!

Aside from the occasional stray golf ball entering your residential space, living in a golf course community can be exciting. Brentwood is full of golfing enthusiasts, so it makes sense that there are golfing communities right here in the beautiful city of Brentwood.

What is a Golf Course Community?

In most cases, a golf course community is a residential neighborhood with single family homes along with an integrated golf course. In some cases, the golf course may be isolated from the homes, but more often the homes and course are designed to be comingled. This provides the ultimate immersive experience by having homes back up to the greens and fairways. This results in having beautiful views from the rear entertaining areas of the homes. Additionally, the course can provide a natural buffer between homes making for a more peaceful feeling.

What is Different About a Golf Course Community?

I think if you asked most people what the main difference is about the community, it may not be golf itself. It may be that the community is built upon a central interest. Do all residents enjoy or play golf? Not usually, but it still serves as a cornerstone from which the community centers and grows other connections. This can create as a sense of belonging, or a common thread with all the residents.

Is the Community ALL About Golf?

Not at all. There are plenty of residents in golf course communities that do not play golf, but they simply enjoy other aspects of the community such as:

Security if the community is also gated.
Amenities such as the pools and club.
Natural beauty that comes along with manicured grounds.
Perceived prestige of living in a particular area or community.

Amenities in a Golf Course Community

Now, just as with any community, these are going to vary, but golf course communities tend to include other amenities as well. Some of those are going to include:

Swimming pools
Club houses
Dining establishments
Event locations
Playgrounds
Workout centers
Fishing options
Tennis courts
Spas

Are You Automatically a Golf Member?

For those who may be new to golf course communities, living within a golf course community often/usually does not automatically make you a member of the golf club that is within the community. Memberships can take the form of:

Social Memberships - These are memberships that provide homeowners access to some of the amenities like dining and events, and possibly even pool access.
Golf Memberships - These are usually separate, and can include different levels and guest allowances. They may also have requirements that any family members included actually reside within the community. In some area of the country, some clubs may even have wait lists to become a member.

Golf Communities in Brentwood TN

Brentwood is home to three beautiful golf communities - all of which are only a few miles from each other. They are all also convenient to everything in Brentwood, Cool Springs, and are only a short drive to downtown Franklin.

The Governors Club

Located on Concord Rd., The Governors Club is Brentwood's largest and most well-know golf communities. Covering more that 600 acres, this 18-hole Arnold Palmer designed course is the beautifully picturesque setting in which an eclectic blend of luxury homes create an elegant lifestyle for homeowners.

Brentwood Country Club

Brentwood Country Club has been a tradition in Brentwood for decades. Positioned directly on Franklin Rd in the heart of the city, this 215-acre golf community has a wonderful history centered on the McGavock home which is part of the facility today. Homes in the community are concentrated on three streets central to the property while being surrounded by the course itself which creates a beautiful presentation from within the community as well as from Franklin Rd.

Nashville Golf & Athletic Club

Originally designed for U.S. Open play, Nashville Golf & Athletic Club brings a calmer and gentle approach to club membership. Over 200 acres of rolling countryside, located just a 1/2 mile of Interstate 65 provide members and their guests a golfing experience they will fondly remember. Centrally located within the course, are the homes of Crockett Springs that make up the heart of this community.

Summary

Options for not only golfing, but also purchasing a home within a golf course community in Brentwood TN are numerous. Each community has its own characteristics and amenities that creates an individual feel to each community. To learn more about becoming a homeowner in one of these communities, contact us, and you could be on your way to scheduling your next tee time.
