Honoring Golf Pioneer Ted Rhodes • Nashville, Tennessee
Ted Rhodes Golf Course stands as a living tribute to Theodore "Ted" Rhodes, a pioneering African American professional golfer who broke barriers in the sport during the mid-20th century. Originally opened as Cumberland Golf Course in 1953 with 9 holes, the course was renamed in 1969 to honor Rhodes' contributions to golf.
This links-style 18-hole municipal course, situated on the banks of the Cumberland River, offers golfers a challenging yet accessible experience. The course features lakes, strategic bunkers, and large greens that test players of all skill levels. Its urban setting provides a unique backdrop while maintaining natural wildlife habitats throughout the property.
Expanded to its current 18-hole configuration in May 1992, Ted Rhodes Golf Course combines historical significance with modern playability. The walking-friendly layout spans 6,660 yards from the tips, with multiple tee options accommodating golfers from beginners to advanced players. The course rating ranges from 67.3 to 72.2, with slope ratings between 116 and 126.
Beyond golf, Ted Rhodes Golf Course serves the community through various programs and events, including hosting the annual Duffers Golf Association tournament that benefits Sickle Cell Anemia research. This commitment to community service reflects the values and legacy of the man for whom the course is named.
