You’re in fore quite the weekend. Not only can you expect sunny and 70-degree weather, Shelby Golf Course shows off its new look on Saturday, Oct. 19 after major renovations kept the course closed for months.

The greens were enlarged, reshaped, and sprigged with TifEagle Bermuda grass + the club house boasts improved locker and restroom areas, as well as updated lighting, flooring, and countertops.

Fun fact: The 18-hole course was the first municipal golf course in Nashville + it celebrates its 100th anniversary this year.

Tee times for future dates can be reserved by phone, and hours and fees are listed online.
