Thinking About Living in Stones River Country Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Stones River Country Club and the surrounding Nashville Proper & Old-Guard Clubs golf market.
Stones River Country Club sits along the banks of the Stones River in Murfreesboro, the Rutherford County seat roughly 35 minutes southeast of downtown Nashville -- a genuinely separate submarket from both Nashville proper and Williamson County. Sources place the club's founding in either 1946 or 1947-1949 (accounts vary on the exact year and on whether the front and back nines opened in different years), but the club has operated continuously since, with tennis, a fitness facility, and a large pool alongside its 18-hole course. In October 2025, the course completed a comprehensive renovation led by Bill Bergin of Bergin Golf Design -- the same architect responsible for renovating Richland Country Club (2021) in this batch's Nashville Proper market and both courses at Tennessee Grasslands Golf and Country Club in the neighboring Sumner County market.
As an edge-of-territory secondary entry, Stones River's case for inclusion rests primarily on its genuine barrier to entry -- real membership tiers (Full Golf, Social, Junior Executive) with an initiation fee and dues structure -- rather than a strong residential-integration story. The adjacent Riverview Park subdivision offers brick estate homes with course frontage and river views on some elevated lots, but it carries no HOA and does not bundle club membership with home purchase; golf access there is purchased separately, same as anywhere else in Murfreesboro.
Golf & Course
The course plays to a par of 71 across 6,348 yards, and completed a full renovation under Bill Bergin in October 2025. Original design credit is inconsistently reported across sources -- Bob Renault is cited in some, Arnold Mears and Robert Renault together in others -- and this research could not resolve the original architect to a single confident answer.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Stones River offers Full Golf, Social, and Junior Executive membership categories. Membership is purchased separately from any home purchase in the area, including in the adjacent Riverview Park subdivision.
Living in Stones River Country Club
Riverview Park, a subdivision of all-brick estate homes (roughly $405K-$3.5M) directly along the club's course, is the clearest residential connection found, but it has no HOA and no bundled membership arrangement with the club.
Location & Surrounding Area
The club is located at 1830 NW Broad Street, Murfreesboro, TN 37129, a genuinely distinct city and submarket from Nashville proper and Williamson County, roughly 35 minutes from downtown Nashville.

What Buyers Should Verify
- Confirm whether this candidate meaningfully clears the platform's qualification bar over time as more Rutherford County/Murfreesboro candidates are researched -- it is included here as a thin, honest secondary entry per the research brief's explicit instruction not to force it.
- Confirm current initiation fee and dues directly with the club -- reported figures are low-confidence aggregator estimates that duplicate another unrelated club's numbers in this same research pass.
- Confirm the original course architect directly with the club; sources conflict between Bob Renault and Arnold Mears/Robert Renault.
