Assistant Food & Beverage Director

Property Description:

Located in Spring Hill, Tennessee just a short drive south of Nashville, Towhee Club is an 18-hole golf course designed by The King himself, Arnold Palmer.

In 2020, a new ownership group committed to making Towhee Club the finest public golf course in Middle Tennessee. The golf course has been renovated with all-new TifEagle greens, the bunkers have been re-built with the Better Billy Bunker construction, and the cart bridges were all replaced. Inside the clubhouse, you’ll find Birdsong Social, an easy-going community-focused restaurant focused on bringing friends together through fresh and comfortable menus and drinks.

With millions invested, Towhee Club proudly offers a challenging yet fair 18-hole golf course suitable for all skill levels, amenities for golfers and non-golfers alike, and panoramic views of the rolling hills surrounding the club.
