Golf in Murfreesboro

Murfreesboro is the seat of Rutherford County and the fastest-growing city in Tennessee by multiple measures, a distinction driven by its position along Interstate 24 thirty miles southeast of Nashville in a county that has absorbed an enormous share of the Nashville metro's residential overflow. Middle Tennessee State University, with one of the largest enrollments in the state, anchors the city's educational infrastructure and gives Murfreesboro a collegiate character that coexists with the suburban growth dynamic. Stones River National Battlefield, site of one of the Civil War's most contested mid-winter engagements in late 1862, occupies a significant parcel within the city limits — a preserved landscape in an otherwise intensely developing municipality. The Rutherford County terrain is the limestone hills of the Nashville Basin, gentle enough to support dense residential development while retaining occasional cedar glade openings that hint at the pre-suburban landscape. Golf in Murfreesboro spans private clubs, daily-fee courses, and the range of options appropriate to a fast-growing mid-size city.
