TEMPLE HILLS GOLF COURSE

Temple Hills Country Club in Franklin, Tennessee, is a private 27-hole facility designed by Leon Howard and opened in 1972. The three 9-hole courses — Deercrest, Quail Run and Dogwood – can be paired to create three different 18-hole challenges. All three courses share the club’s hallmark traits: rolling terrain, undulating greens, plush fairways, and a mix of natural obstacles like trees and water. They are designed for fair play while still providing strategic depth, making each a unique option for members and guests.

THE COURSES

DEERCREST COURSE

Deercrest is the longest of the three 9-hole layouts and offers tree lined fairways and a unique blend of uphill and downhill shots that will challenge your mental game and club selection. Keep in mind that the best way to approach the flags is from below the hole. The bold will be rewarded with great shots but will be penalized with a poor approach since a downhill putt can prove costly.

QUAIL RUN COURSE

Quail Run will offer many opportunities for birdies, but it will also take its toll on errant shots. You will find some forced carry holes on both your tee shot and your approach shots. The “Signature Hole” is #17, a 192-yard par-3 over water to a peninsula green — a defining test of accuracy and composure.

DOGWOOD COURSE

Dogwood may be the shortest of the three 9-hole layouts, but do not assume it is an easy test. You must keep your ball in the fairway and aiming for the middle of the greens can be your best friend. There are many blind shots so be cautious when you must and be bold when you see an opportunity.
