Saddle Creek Golf Club

What Saddle Creek Golf Club does

Saddle Creek Golf Club is a privately held, single-venue golf and hospitality operator located at 1480 Fayetteville Highway in Lewisburg, Tennessee, approximately 45 minutes south of Nashville. The facility is built around an 18-hole championship course designed by ASGCA architect Gene Bates, measuring 6,708 yards from the championship tees with a par of 72, a course rating of 72.4, and a slope of 137; the front nine is tree-lined with water hazards on seven holes, while the back nine transitions to a links-style layout. The club participates in the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program, supporting its environmental positioning. The company is professionally managed by Bobby Jones Links and employs 11–50 staff.

Saddle Creek monetizes the asset across four primary streams. First, public green fees and tee times, currently offered at a promotional $25 per round during a 2025 greens renovation (temporary greens) and a $48 + tax senior rate on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Second, a tiered membership program (Gold, Silver, Creekside) with dedicated tee-time portals via ezLinks, which is presently being redesigned and not accepting new members. Third, on-site food and beverage at Saddle Creek Bar & Grill, which serves classic American fare Tuesday through Sunday with a turn window for in-round service. Fourth, event hosting for weddings, corporate outings, golf tournaments, and private celebrations, supported by an event team handling catering and coordination. Practice facilities include a large grass driving range and a 120-yard short-game area, with a new Bermuda grass putting green scheduled for 2026.

Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the club's website, dedicated member portals, and the GolfNow marketplace. The company is currently operating under temporary greens during an active course improvement project designed to upgrade turfgrass, which is suppressing per-round revenue but is positioned as a long-term reinvestment in product quality. No public ownership, funding, or revenue disclosures are available.
