Detailed description of Hermitage Golf Course, The Generals Retreat
Hermitage Golf Course is a Public, 36 hole golf facility located in Old Hickory, Tennessee. The Hermitage has two championship 18-hole golf courses, they are The Generals Retreat and The Presidents Reserve.

This public course offers some of the best play in Nashville and surrounding area. The staff members are exceptional and very accomodating. The General's Retreat has a traditional layout with accurate tee shots required and the greens are usually fast and true. Lot's of subtle contours are a real test of putting skills. Very playable for most levels of golfers. Memberships are available with a choice of levels, and we'll worth the fee if played regularly.
