Nashville Pub Crawl Golf Game by Golf Cart

Nashville’s bar scene gets a playful twist here: you ride between up to five local bars in a private golf cart while trying to keep your putting score low. Your guide serves as driver, caddie, host, and part-time comedian, with names such as Cam, Joe, Tyler, Richie, Foster, and Swade appearing among the regular guides.

I like the way this gets you beyond Broadway and into Midtown bars, and I like that the golf game gives a group something to do between drinks. The main caution is value: at $62.47 per person, drinks are extra, and the two-hour schedule can feel quick if you want plenty of time at every bar.

Key points before you book

• Five-bar golf course: You putt at stops and collect points through successful shots and penalties.
• Private golf cart: Your group rides together rather than following a large walking crowd.
• Local guide included: Guides drive, explain the neighborhood, manage the game, and keep the mood moving.
• Midtown beyond Broadway: The route offers a different side of Nashville’s bar scene, with Music Row nearby.
• Drinks cost extra: You choose what to order at each stop, but the $62.47 price does not cover alcohol.
• Adults only: Every participant must be at least 21 and carry valid identification.

Why bar golf works in Nashville

A normal pub crawl can blur into a series of similar rooms. This one adds a simple contest: putt well, avoid penalties, and finish with the lowest score. That gives your group a shared task, even if nobody in it cares much about golf.

The golf is recreational rather than serious. You receive putters, a mobile putting green, and rules tied to your score. Drinks may be assigned or suggested based on how well you putt, with penalties adding points. The exact drink choices can vary, so you should treat the game as a framework for the crawl, not a fixed tasting menu.

I like this setup for birthday groups, bachelor and bachelorette parties, reunions, and friends who want a little structure. The competition stays light, and the best part is often the running joke about who cannot make a short putt. Dressing up is encouraged, so coordinated outfits or playful golf clothes fit the spirit of the experience.

The activity works best with four or more people. A larger group makes the scoring and teasing more fun, though it can also mean more waiting when everyone takes a turn. The private cart keeps your party together and gives the guide room to adjust the energy to your group.

Starting at 833 9th Avenue South

The experience begins at 833 9th Ave S, Nashville, Tennessee 37203. It ends back at the same meeting point, which makes planning dinner, a concert, or a ride home easier than an activity with a distant finish.

The tour lasts about two hours. That is enough time for a quick taste of several bars and a ride through Midtown, but it is not a slow afternoon crawl. You will need to keep moving between stops, and the time at each bar may be limited by the route and the pace of the game.

Confirmation arrives when you book. The starting point is near public transportation, though the supplied details do not specify which routes or stops serve it. If you plan to drink, arrange your return from the meeting point rather than driving yourself.

The tour runs in rain, cold, and heat. Dress for the forecast, and do not assume the golf cart will feel comfortable in every kind of weather. Layers, weatherproof clothing, and comfortable shoes are sensible choices. The tour provider specifically encourages you to dress for the conditions.

Riding through Midtown instead of staying on Broadway

The big geographic advantage is the chance to see Nashville away from the most famous Broadway strip. You still get bars, music-city atmosphere, and Southern hospitality, but the route focuses on Midtown-area hangouts and other parts of central Nashville.

Music Row is part of the surrounding setting. This is where record-label offices, radio stations, and recording studios anchor Nashville’s country-music business. The golf cart experience gives you a passing look at that side of town while moving between drinking stops.

Do not book this as a formal Music Row sightseeing tour. The main purpose is bar golf, not an in-depth visit to recording studios or music landmarks. Still, the setting adds useful context, and guides have shared neighborhood facts and city tidbits along the way.

That local commentary is one of the strongest parts of the experience. Cam and Dylan, for example, have been praised for explaining neighborhoods and sharing fun facts. Joe is known for jokes, city information, and even singing on the ride back. The specific guide matters, but assignments can change, so you cannot count on a particular person unless the provider confirms it.

How the five-bar game unfolds

At the first stop, your guide explains the rules, gives you a putter, and sets up the mobile green. From there, each bar becomes part of the course. You may putt before ordering, after ordering, or during the stop, depending on how your group and guide run the game.

Your score combines putting performance and penalties. In classic golf fashion, the lowest score wins. That sounds simple, but the penalty list is part of the humor. A poor shot can affect the next drink assignment or add points that are hard to recover from.

Drinks are not included in the tour price. This is an important detail for budgeting, especially if you plan to order at all five bars. The upside is flexibility: you decide what to drink, and you can skip alcohol at a stop if you prefer. One group specifically appreciated having control over drink choices instead of paying for a preset package.

The stops are described as local bars and Midtown pubs, with the exact selection depending on the day and route. You might find a lively neighborhood saloon, a music-focused bar, or a casual place suited to a quick round. The attraction is the variety, but you should not expect every stop to offer a long stay or a full evening of entertainment.

One especially useful tip is to think of the bars as checkpoints, not destinations where you will settle in. If you want a long meal, extended live music set, or relaxed cocktail hour, this tour may feel rushed. If you want to sample several places and keep moving, the pace is part of the fun.

What the golf cart adds

The golf cart is not just a novelty. It solves a practical problem by connecting several bars without requiring your group to walk between every stop. It also turns the route itself into social time, with your guide filling the ride with jokes, local facts, and conversation.

The ride can make the tour feel more personal than a large bus excursion. The experience is designed around your group’s private cart, guide, and game. The overall activity can accommodate up to 50 people, but your own cart arrangement is intended to keep your group together.

Guides such as Tyler, Cam, Will, Austin, Joe, Swade, Mick, Nick, Richie, Jimmy, Jeremiah, and Foster have all been praised for being warm, funny, flexible, or good at explaining the city. That range tells you what the provider expects from its staff: not just driving, but active hosting.

The guide may also adjust plans on the go. Will was praised for handling destination changes smoothly, and Richie for tailoring the outing to how the group wanted to drink and play. That flexibility helps when a bar is crowded or the route needs to change, though it also means you should not expect a fixed list of named venues before departure.

The price and what you actually receive

The listed price is $62.47 per person, including the two-hour golf game, private golf-cart transportation for your group, a local professional caddie-guide, stops at up to five bars, and trip insurance priced at $6.99 per person.

The drinks are separate. Your final cost depends on how much you order, the type of drinks you choose, and how many stops you use for drinking. For a group that wants a drink at every bar, the total can climb well beyond the advertised price.

I see the value in the transportation and guide service. You are paying for a hosted activity, not simply a ride between bars. The putting equipment, scorekeeping, route planning, and neighborhood commentary give the crawl a clear shape.

Still, one fair criticism is that the tour can feel expensive if you mainly want to visit bars. A two-hour outing moves quickly, and one participant felt there was too little time at each stop for the price. My advice is to book it for the game and the guided ride, not as the cheapest way to buy drinks in Nashville.

The small-group format helps justify the cost for a birthday or group celebration. Splitting the experience among friends also makes the private cart and caddie feel more worthwhile than booking as one or two people who do not know the rest of the group.

Who will have the best time

You should consider this tour if you want:

• A social activity for four or more people
• A break from Broadway’s main strip
• A light competition with easy rules
• Transportation between several bars
• Local jokes, neighborhood facts, and a guide-led outing
• A playful reason to dress up
• Control over your own drink choices

It is especially suitable for groups celebrating together. The game gives everyone a role, including people who do not usually dance, sing, or spend hours in a crowded music venue.

It is less suitable if you want a quiet tasting experience, a serious golf activity, or long visits at each bar. It is also a poor fit for anyone under 21, since every participant must meet the minimum age and show identification at the bars.

Most people can participate, but the tour is still weather dependent. Since it operates rain or shine and in hot or cold conditions, you need to be comfortable spending time in an open golf cart in the forecasted weather.

Practical tips for a smoother round

Bring a valid photo ID. You will not be admitted to the bars without proof of age, even if you clearly look old enough.

Plan your spending before you arrive. The tour price covers the activity, but not drinks. If your group wants to order at every stop, set expectations early so the game does not turn into a budget surprise.

Wear clothes that fit the weather and shoes that are comfortable for getting in and out of the cart. Dressing up is encouraged, but a costume that is awkward in heat, cold, or rain may make the ride less pleasant.

Give yourself time to reach 833 9th Avenue South. Confirmation is provided at booking, and the meeting point is near public transportation, but the experience begins at the stated location and returns there at the end.

If your group has a preferred style, say so when communicating with the provider. Some guides have been especially flexible about the balance between putting and drinking, but the exact route, bars, and guide can vary.

Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before the local start time. Inside that 24-hour window, the payment is not refunded, and changes are not accepted. That policy matters for group bookings, where one person’s schedule change can affect the whole reservation.

Should you book Nashville bar golf?

I would book this if your group wants a fun, organized way to see Midtown bars and you like the idea of a silly putting contest mixed into the night. The guides are a major part of the value, and the repeated praise for people such as Joe, Cam, Tyler, Foster, Richie, and Swade suggests that the experience depends heavily on good hosting.

I would skip it if your top priority is low cost, generous time at each bar, or a polished alcohol package. Drinks are extra, the two-hour schedule is brisk, and the bar list is not presented as a fixed collection of major Nashville institutions.

For the right group, the golf is the hook, the cart is the convenience, and the guide is what keeps the afternoon moving. Book it for laughter, friendly competition, and a view of Nashville beyond Broadway. Do not book it expecting a slow pub evening.
