Shelby is one of Nashville’s most interesting courses. Designed by Donald Ross (designer of Pinehurst No. 2), Shelby is carved into the extremely hilly East Nashville terrain. With no sand traps and few water hazards, one would think the course easy, but beware. The tiny elevated greens make for an extreme challenge. The course also has overseeded Bermuda rough that can cause lost balls after decent tee shots that just miss the fairway. Ultimately a memorable, albeit odd, golf course.
