Thinking About Living in The Grove?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands The Grove and the surrounding Franklin & Brentwood / Williamson County golf market.
The Grove is one of the two clearest flagship golf communities in the College Grove submarket (alongside Troubadour), an 1,100-acre guard-gated development built since 2013 around an 18-hole Greg Norman Signature course that hosted the LIV Golf League's 2024 LIV Golf Nashville event -- real, current professional tournament pedigree that few Tennessee residential golf communities can claim. Roughly 500 homes have been built to date, with artisan-built luxury estates starting in the mid-$800,000s and homesites available from around $165,000.
The Grove's access model is genuinely mandatory but tiered: every property owner must carry at least a Sports Membership ($50,000 at closing plus $312/month), which unlocks the community's pools, fitness center, tennis, equestrian facilities (including an Olympic-sized indoor arena and 30 acres of pasture for boarding horses), walking trails, and fishing ponds -- but not the golf course itself. Golf access requires upgrading to a Golf Membership at $100,000 (reported as high as $125,000 in some sources) due at closing, plus roughly $907/month. A buyer specifically prioritizing golf access should budget for the Golf tier, not assume the mandatory baseline membership includes it.
Golf & Course
The Grove's 18-hole, par-72 course is a Greg Norman Signature design stretching 7,368 yards from the championship tees. It hosted the LIV Golf League's LIV Golf Nashville event in 2024, playing to 7,297 yards from the tournament's competition tees -- genuine, current professional tournament history that anchors the club's national golf profile.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Every home purchase at The Grove requires club membership at closing -- there is no option to buy a home without joining. The mandatory floor is a Sports Membership (non-golf amenities); golf access specifically requires the separate, more expensive Golf Membership tier. Both are on top of a separate monthly HOA fee ($596-$715/month).
