What Westhaven Golf Club TN does

Westhaven Golf Club is a private, membership-based golf and country club located at 4000 Golf Club Lane in Franklin, Tennessee. Founded in 2009 by Southern Land Company as part of the Westhaven master-planned community and managed by Troon Privè, the club's centerpiece is an 18-hole Arthur Hills-designed championship course (par 72, 7,000 yards) featuring TifEagle Bermudagrass greens, Zoysia fairways, five tee boxes, and no homes lining the fairways. The club received national recognition as a GolfWeek and Golf Digest 2010 Best New Course and earned the 2024 Food & Beverage Excellence Award.

The club operates a subscription-based revenue model anchored by four membership tiers (Full Golf, National, Corporate, and Dining), with initiation fees and recurring dues that are quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Complementary revenue streams include on-site dining (upper-level restaurant, bar, and Turn Grille), an award-winning golf shop, tournament and event hosting (capacity up to 300 guests), weddings and corporate events, and a Golf Performance Center offering PGA/LPGA instruction and PXG/Callaway club fitting. Technology integrations are limited to third-party operational tools, including Visage GPS on golf carts and Golf Genius Tournament Live Scoring software for tournament management.

Westhaven targets affluent individual members (families, retirees, and golf enthusiasts), corporate members seeking client entertainment and employee benefits, and non-local travelers through its National Membership product. Ancillary customers include corporate clients and nonprofits hosting tournaments and events. Reciprocal arrangements with The Standard Club and Nashville City Club extend member access into downtown Nashville.
