Firefly Golf Club gives Andrew Green his first original stage after a career restoring America’s greats. Built to use rolling Tennessee farmland, it promises strategic intrigue, elevation drama, and memorable finishing holes—a new private club aiming to leave a mark.
Firefly Golf Club is a showcase of modern strategic golf routed over 700 acres of rolling Tennessee farmland. Andrew Green’s first ground-up course uses broad elevation swings, saddles, native rock, and a winding creek to set up a test that prizes playing angles and creative shotmaking. Generous fairways deceive with hidden ideal lines, while the greens demand precision through contour, clever kick slopes, and runoff zones. The course flows naturally with the land, offering a blend of visually intimidating tee shots, walkable corridors, and big-sky views across Maury County. The final stretch has already drawn praise for its boldness, making Firefly a new private club with a future story to tell.
Andrew Green brings a restorer’s eye for tradition and modern strategy to his first original, new-build layout.
The opening hole sets the strategic tone, punishing careless swings but rewarding those who take on the left-side trouble for the best approach. The subtly moving green complex frames the first challenge with bunkers lurking left and behind.
Aim for the left, but don’t overcook it; the angle in is far better from the edge.
Miss left and you risk bunkers or worse—miss right and your approach gets exponentially harder.
Private-club conditioning and turf, with a focus on first-class agronomy.
Relaxed member experience; no published data but likely unhurried.
Upscale, service-driven, and camaraderie-focused—classic private club atmosphere.
Standard golf club attire expected.
A walkable but rolling design—some stamina helps on climbs and finishing holes.
You’ll need wedges, long irons, and a strategic mindset for varied shot demands.

Explore amenities and settle into the relaxed members’ pace—no need to rush.
