Nashville Golf & Athletic Club may very well have had its beginning in the late 1770's. In the Spring of 1786, Andrew Crockett, an uncle of the famous woodsman, Davy Crockett, unsheathed his broad axe and began the tortuous process of clearing a tiny knoll in the lush countryside of Middle Tennessee. Andrew and his wife Nancy had just received a land-grant deed to 640 acres and had chosen the site for their new home. It was the 10th year after the War of Independence and the pioneering spirit was flourishing.

Now, 200 years later, a few of the saplings that covered the Crocketts' knoll have grown to maturity. Their strong, bountiful limbs spread shade across a putting green nestled in front of the centerpiece of Nashville Golf & Athletic Club. One section of that historic structure, where legend says Andrew fought off an Indian attack to protect his family, has been restored as the library of the clubhouse. .Two centuries later, the serenity of the historic clubhouse renovated with antiques gathered on numerous forages through Ireland and Scotland, furnishes the flavor for a demanding 187-acre tract that offers challenges to golfers reminiscent of the intensity and dedication of those early pioneers. One small but evocative link to the past is the small Crockett family cemetery, carefully preserved by the Nashville Golf & Athletic Club.
