VinnyLinks Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
VinnyLinks offers nine holes of par-28 golf over 1,150 yards at Shelby Park. Three tee sets allow golfers to choose their distances to the Bermuda greens and a driving range with mats and grass, practice green, and bunkered short-game zone to let them warm up. The public is welcome, but this is one golf course for the kids, who get priority n weekdays during the summer and after school in the autumn.
VinnyLinks was built in 2001 and offers a short season from late spring to mid-autumn.
Because the VinnyLinks is a public golf course, golfers who can get on when the course isn't packed with budding juniors can golf a round for dirt-cheap.

Vinny Links
Course layout is superb. Fairways and greens pristine. Terrific course to refine use if irons. Best money I have spent playing golf this year… will be back again and again.
Decent short course
Fun Par-29 course to practice short game, but the green conditions are abhorrent. Picking up the ball and attempting to toss it into the hole is likely easier than putting on these greens
Fast paced practice round
Vinny links is great if you want to practice your irons and short game and get in a little exercise in the process (9 hole executive course that is walking only) 4.5 stars!
The course was fun to play and I will definitely return. My only complaint is I ran into a lot of the same yardages a couple 90-100 yard shots and a few 125 yd shots… I would have preferred a few more variations in yardages and clubs to hit from the box. Greens were not great but were not terrible either.
Decent short game practice.
For the low cost, worth the value. The only thing that interferes with my game this day was what appeared to be a children’s field trip that was taking place on the first tee box. The instructor waved everyone onto the second hole but I was able to come back and play the first hole at the end of the round.
OK
fairways and greens still dormant. OK little course that will never be anything but average but worth the price
Great course
I love getting out here and playing a quick nine. The layout is easy and it’s a great price for par 3 practice. I like the different layouts for each hole and the hills keep it interesting!
Nice little par 3 course.
I stopped by on my way home from work to try this little course and was pleasantly surprised. The greens are a little rough but it's still early in the year and after all it is managed by the city. Definitely worth checking out for a few quick holes.
Vinny Links
Nice little par 3 course that is well groomed. Greens were great. #1 is a 285 yard par 4.
Love this place!
I can go and play a quick 9 holes and everyone is so friendly.
Excellent for sharpening your short game
This is not a championship course, but gets 4.5 stars as a great rolling par 3 course to dial in your short game. If I lived in Nashville
I’d practice here mid week every week after work. Driving range looked like a really bad setup, so wouldn’t use it for that. But if you want to play your irons, wedges, and putter better, this would be a great place to sharpen the edge regularly. Other than the sound of the loud engines of the General Jackson or some other large paddle boat anchored in the river nearby, it was a very peaceful place to play. I even saw a group of does come out on one of the holes, munching in the fringe. Super friendly staff too!
Closed Course
For a weekend in Nashville some buddies and I went to golf Saturday morning after making a tee time and paying. Upon arrival we found that the course was closed for the marathon and no one was in the property to give us our money back. Please reach out to solve this problem.
Fun public course, $5 on golf now
Visiting Nashville for the line dancing and live music. Also enjoyed a little golf in the side. Course was close, convenient and cheap.
