About The Putting Zone
The TPZ, a 29,000-square-foot indoor facility, is based in Nashville, TN. It houses a par-72, 18-hole full-blown putting course that stretches just over 1/3 of a mile. Designed by the award-winning golf architect duo of Garl-Nix, well known for their thoughtful, memorable designs, the course features multiple changeable hole and tee locations, like an outdoor green. This keeps the course fresh every time it is played.
The Flagship putting course is legitimately the new Putting Capitol of the World. The entire design is crafted to mirror the contours, nuances, and challenges of its outdoor twin. This is serious putting, wrapped in a wonderful Scottish-themed interior design, complete with Village facades and imagery of the Old Course of St Andrews and Carnoustie. In addition, the course walls are adorned with one of the World’s largest collections of antique hickory golf clubs, on display in a museum-like setting, with some dating back to the 1700s.
The course feels and operates more like an upscale golf club, complete with membership, VIP perks, leagues, and challenging local tournament play – never canceled for inclement weather. Daily play-by-reservation is always available for community enjoyment. The course is located at 3040 Sidco Drive, Nashville. More information and Tee Times can be found at www.ThePuttingZone.com or by calling the Pro Shop staff at 844-PAR-PUTT.
