Troubadour is a modern, private Fazio design that holds its own as one of Tennessee’s most desirable and immaculately presented rounds. You’re playing pure championship DNA in an environment crafted for high-end comfort and memorable finishing stretches.
Don't miss a stop at the 'watering hole' social deck after your round for panoramic course views and signature snacks—a Discovery Land Company hallmark.
Troubadour Golf & Field Club is Tom Fazio in full modern form: broad, fast fairways unwind across rolling Tennessee hills, culminating in big, memorable par 3s and dramatic, long par 5s with risk-reward intrigue. The course pairs polished luxury with championship stretches—especially late in the round—while presenting expansive sightlines and enough width to encourage aggressive play for those who can manage the contours and fast greens. The routing maximizes site movement, ensuring variety, and Fazio’s shaping crafts multiple moments of visual and strategic drama.
Tom Fazio’s original design for Troubadour builds on his signature principles: playable luxury, strong visual framing, and a finale anchored by a modern epic par 5 and tough closing par 4.
A demanding, long par 4 that puts the driver to the test off the tee and forces precise course management to avoid trouble. The green is well-guarded, making par a real achievement as you settle into the round.
Favor the right side of the fairway for the best angle in; be disciplined with distance control and avoid chasing a tucked pin.
A wayward drive or over-confident second can bring bogey or worse quickly into play, thanks to trouble lurking down the left and sneaky green contours.
Pristine, tournament-worthy bentgrass with lush fairways and laser-straight edges.
Efficient, member-centric play—groups well spaced and staff attentive to pace.
High-end comfort without stuffiness; modern luxury meets relaxed southern hospitality.
Standard private-club golf attire required—collared shirts, tailored shorts/slacks.
Firm, fast greens reward golfers who can fly and hold precise approaches, especially into tucked pins.
Length off the tee will set up genuine scoring changes—work on controlling power for wide, long holes like 17.
Multi-tiered, slick greens play quicker than most—being comfortable from 30+ feet is key to avoiding three-putts.
Wind can swirl significantly on the longer open holes, so be prepared to adjust your club and trajectory.
