Grand Old Golf

It’s mini golf– it is what you expect. I played the «blue» course, one of the two 18-​hole courses there and it was okay. There were a couple of holes that had some twists and were fun but all-​in-​all its an average mini golf course.
I have played at several courses that weren’t kept as well as this one. If you’re looking to play, I recommend it for the price.

What a fun night mini-​golfing! I had been here a few years ago and I decided to go back recently when I was in town again. I forgot that they have multiple mini-​golf course options. We were a bit surprised when we realized we had picked the challenge course, because we are not very good at mini-​golf. However, it was a lot of fun! The line was really long to pay, but once out of the courses it was a lot less crowded because there are so many course options.

Awesome place! The go carts were so much fun (only $ 8 a person), the staff was awesome and the putt putt course was crazy fun! There are multiple courses, all with interesting qualities. Family friendly place and could be an awesome date night. There was also a snow cone shop in the park. We visited in the summer of 2015 — the course was very clean and entertaining. We had a blast and would go back anytime.

This could be better.
Surprisingly (to me, at least), early on a Saturday night this place was pretty busy!
They had a few courses — a regular course (that looked dull), a more interesting course (that was really crowded and would have required us to wait for every hole), a glow-​in-​the-​dark indoor course (the lamest I have EVER seen), and a challenge course (only 9 holes).
We ended up picking the challenge course. The length was a bummer, but we knew about that before starting. I will say that it definitely lived up to its name, and some of the holes were pretty unique.
This place loses some stars due to the fact that the course was a little bit grody. I understand when the water features aren’t full of flowing water due to the winter due to the risk of freezing, but I was really sad when I had to fish my ball out of extremely cloudy water. Additionally, some of the greens could use more maintenance.
If I were to do it again I’d like to try their more interesting course, but considering the crowd, it wasn’t worth it to me and my sister for the wait. Overall, not bad, but not great.

Took my husband on a date and it was his first time putt putting, they also have go karts. We had an awesome time. It also has multiple putting courses. Best one in Nashville

I went here strictly for the mini-​golf, and I know it looks run down, and it kinda is, but I’m giving this place 4 stars because you know what, at the end of the day I had a really good time. The go-​karts looked slow and the lobby (?) was under renovation, but we played putt-​putt and did all three courses and they were all entertaining.
There were leaves clogging the best secret pathway on the course (on a hole with a creek all down the left side — hit it in the creek) so I dug the leaves out, no biggie. It’s best to go when it’s not busy so you can play a tricky hole twice to see which hole you want to shoot for on the multi-​level holes. It seemed slightly expensive unless you played all three.
Also, the third course is just nine holes, but it’s a lot more complex and grandiose.

Go karts are awesome it’s very fun especially to go with a group a friends it gets crazy lol
I love this place

This is a fun course! Its just its in such a bad condition that i couldn’t possibly give it a higher rating…
There were many rips in the course, some of the cups were out of place (I actually put them back in myself), and also the pace of play was very very very slow. It was probably the slowest round of mini golf i ever played. I would play a hole, wait a few minutes, then play another. The round took me nearly an hour.
There were three courses and I played the Classic Course. I’m not sure how the other courses were but I’m guessing they weren’t too good either.

This is the best miniature golf I’ve been to in Nashville. We did the Old Mill course, which is the older, more challenging (i.e., more interesting) of the two 18-​hole courses. The holes were very creative and fun. The holes included lots of curves, humps, rocks, dips, multiple levels, and even streams the ball had to jump over. One hole started at the top of a two-​story platform and went down five levels. The place was clean, well kept, and very nicely landscaped. Some spots were dark or steep, but it didn’t bother me. The staff was polite and efficient. I’ll be back.

Very rude staff, especially at the go-​karting area. Not coming back anytime soon

THIS PLACE IS NOT HANDICAP FRIENDLY! My husband, two children and I were visiting Nashville and decided to play some mini golf the night before we left to come back home to Florida. We walked in at 8:30 pm and paid $ 36 for us to play. As we approached the course, we quickly realized that my husband and I, who are both below-​the-​knee amputees, would not be able to play the course. It was very dimly lit (not lit at ALL in some places), very hilly and the carpet/​greens were extremely bunched up from wear. Highly dangerous for someone using prosthetics to walk! We went back inside to request a refund due to the fact that we were unable to play and were informed ‘No refunds. I’m just doing my job.’ I asked to speak with a Manager, who, of course, was not there, so she gave me his name and number. I contacted Jeff Walker the next day who used the excuse that his system ‘does not allow for the processing of refunds’, so he offered to give us a raincheck to use in the next 30 days. I explained that we lived in Florida and were already on our way home, to which he replied, «well, sorry… no refunds.» I have disputed the charge with my credit card company who absolutely could NOT believe how we were treated. Needless to say, we are getting our $ 36 back! Will NEVER go here again!

Well if you go to any hotel or welcome center you can get a brochure for this place to save $ 1 per person off the 1 course price of $ 9. Its an OK course but I have seen a lot better. We went on May 23^rd 2014 and the clubs are bent and severely used. The course has seen better days as the carpet is tearing and being pulled up along with the holes as the cups sit up, mystery holes clogged so capped off, and the courses water smells and is filled with last falls leaves. You would think that this being almost June that they would have at least grabbed a rake to remove them from the water. all in all this place probably gets ZERO maintenance or upkeep. Pirate Coves in Lake George NY are FAR better!
The Mrs enjoyed herself, but on the other hand, she always likes to see the good in people and places and I am the one who always looks at the whole picture and critiques things and speak my mind :)
PS: They do have (2) 18-​holes, and (1) Advanced 9-​hole we were told but only did the first 18-​holes.

My family and I had a great time here but the golf course was in tough shape. It would not take much just to clean it up and maintain it and truly allow people to get the most for their money. The turf was weathered and covered in debris and the water was just filthy and didn’t have a pleasant smell. The go cart track is a lot of fun and I wish we spent the golf money there. The track was pretty long and the to carts were okay. Some were slower than others and none were very fast, but overall fun time.

3.5! 3.5!
I grew up mini golfing on the Jersey Shore. What that means to people who have not been to the Jersey Shore is that most of their courses involves whales, windmills, Snoopy’s House, etc. I have such a hard time with the rolling hills, realistic courses. Sorry, but I don’t find them that interesting! They also can be so frustrating, especially when you keep putting up the hill, and over the lip onto the other side. Arrrrgh!
With that out of my system, Grand Old Golf is an absolutely fine mini golf course, or putt-​putt, whatever you want to call it. They offer three 18-​hole options, one of which will take you through a house. That’s enough to talk me off my green-​rolling rant ledge!
The course is well maintained and they have a small snack bar inside. The balls are newer and the putters aren’t too worn. The courses weave around the entire area and they offer benches at each hole to relax while you wait to tee off.
In close, if you are interested, the outcome of my latest trip was a tie. Ba-​dum tsh!

This is a must-​do every time we visit Nashville! The go cart track is a decent size and the go carts are fast enough and in good shape. The putt putt golf course is large and fun. The kids usually want to play a few arcade games as well. It’s all reasonably priced.
I would encourage you to disregard the «fake profile» reviews, which are pretty simple to spot. If you’re looking for good family fun in Nashville, look no further!

Saludo Unilocal!
I’ve been going to Grand Old Golf since I was a little kid and I’ve always enjoyed it. Sadly over the years it has fallen into disrepair and is now in need of a major facelift/​overhaul. I always go The Mill Course because as a kid I’ve enjoyed going inside the old mill in the middle of the park and feeling the water splash around inside. The mill no longer. well, ‘mills’ water, it’s turned off or broken but it makes me sad.
However, I should give it four stars because we still had a great time and the little kid we went with had a blast running around like a crazy person that was driving their mom crazy. Despite the fact mom had to keep running after her, afterwards she said she still had an excellent time. The staff there were very friendly, which was good-​or at least the one teenager that helped us out, the other one was on their laptop doing God knows what, lol. He didn’t seem like he enjoyed anything about his job, but the other dude kinda helped fix that distasteful moment.
The games inside are all still fun and in pretty good working condition.
I shall still stick with 3 stars though because aesthetics are kinda important in creating a fun atmosphere.
At any rate, Unilocal!on!

Came from out of town to try out putt-​putt golf and go-​karts for the first time. The minigolf course was enjoyable and varied in its offerings, but could be even better with a small investment to promote better upkeep and upgrade the attractions. Good value, 8 $ for 18 holes if I remember correctly.
I got a hint from a friend as to which of the go-​karts was the fastest, and took that one for a spin. The rest of the carts weren’t as fast, but I would not trust the visitors of the park with a go-​kart faster than that.
The staff were helpful and courteous, with the exception of a small group of them taking a break beneath one of the mini-​golf holes which was housed in the ‘mill’ part of the course.
I wish the owner would realize that investing more in the maintenance and upgrades of this establishment could potentially give him a great return. With just a little more effort, he could really be making bank. And he wouldn’t be getting so slammed on Unilocal with the Unilocal reviewers who have had bad experiences or consider the place too sketchy to take their children there.

YAY! This place is adorable on the outside! I went late at night so it was beautiful with the streams, lights, and lightening bugs. A highly suggested date spot! :] It was not too busy and only waited about a minute for each hole and did not feel too rushed.
The downside is the arcade. It is really run down and not really appealing. I didn’t use any of the other attractions therefore, my review is based only on the mini golf.

If you have a hankering for some mini-​golf in the Nashville area then there aren’t really any other places to go than Grand Old Golf. That said, if you’re expecting a place bustling with life and full of fun, you’re going to be sadly disappointed.
Grand Old Golf screams of a place that is way past its prime and lacks the continued investment needed to keep it a destination for all kinds of mini-​golf fans. To their credit, just today a new roof was finally being added to the ramshackle arcade room, but only after there were visible holes in the ceiling! The last evening we came, the entire course was unlit… so bad in fact, that we had to request a rain check by the time we couldn’t take playing in the shadows anymore. The numerous mini-​golf holes (with 45, there’s honestly way too many!) seem to receive about the same treatment as the rest of the facilities. In 1990 these courses were probably properly groomed and challenging, but these days the water is stagnent, the lights are unreliable, and the greens are unkept.
I don’t mean to say you can’t go and have fun here, you definitely can, but only if you and the party you bring can supply it. I’ve gone twice with my girlfriend and we’d go again, but we know now to keep expectations low…
If you long for the old days of playing mini-​golf with your friends or family when you were in high school — go to Grand Old Golf. You’ll feel like it’s 1995 all over again!

The go-​kart track: Small.
The arcade: a sprinkling of game machines here and there, but not a good density.
The service: surprisingly bad, given that we brought 20+ people to spend money at their location.
While there were a decent number of people at Grand Old Golf, they weren’t exactly having to turn people back at the door. You would expect that the owner of the establishment would want to make things work for you. Sorry for putting you out, Jeff, for trying to spend all that money. Must of hit the PowerBall and decided to open a mediocre entertainment complex just for the fun of frustrating large groups of people.
