A personal look at The Governors Club, Troubadour Golf & Field Club, and The Grove
There’s something incredibly special about the kind of life that unfolds behind the gates of a private club community. It’s not just about luxury homes or manicured golf courses—it’s about feeling a sense of calm the moment you drive through the entrance. It’s the quiet confidence of knowing you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of spending time inside some of the most exclusive and inspiring communities in Middle Tennessee. These are places where families gather, friendships form, and everyday life feels a little more elevated. If you’re looking for more than just a house—if you’re searching for a lifestyle—The Governors Club, Troubadour, and The Grove each offer a distinct kind of magic.
Let me show you what I mean.
The Governors Club
Refined. Welcoming. Timeless.
Tucked into the rolling hills of Brentwood, The Governors Club is the picture of quiet sophistication. It’s beautifully established—full of mature trees, grand estate homes, and a peaceful energy that makes you feel like you’ve arrived somewhere lasting. The Arnold Palmer Signature golf course is a showstopper, but what I love most is how effortlessly elegant everything feels here. The clubhouse isn’t just a perk—it’s a place where neighbors gather, celebrations unfold, and stories are shared.
This is a community where tradition is honored, privacy is respected, and beauty is simply part of the everyday.
Why people are drawn to it:
– Gated privacy with timeless architecture
– Elegant golf lifestyle centered around community
– A feeling of grace and permanence that’s hard to replicate
Troubadour Golf & Field Club
Relaxed. Creative. Experience-Driven.
Troubadour is unlike anywhere else in Tennessee. Set in the countryside of College Grove, it’s a place that values presence over performance. Think long afternoons by the lake, candlelit dinners outdoors, or music drifting through the trees during a private concert. Every corner of this community feels intentionally designed to inspire—whether you’re paddleboarding with your kids, enjoying a wellness retreat, or simply savoring a moment on your back porch.
It’s luxury without pretense—free-spirited, stylish, and a little unexpected in the best way.
What makes it shine:
– A modern, imaginative take on club living
– Tom Fazio-designed golf and curated experiences
– A warm, creative energy that feels alive
The Grove
Vibrant. Active. Family-Oriented.
The Grove has a contagious kind of energy. It’s where you see golf carts in motion, kids playing after school, and families hosting barbecues that turn into lifelong traditions. Located in College Grove, it’s a full-service club community designed for living well—with equestrian trails, resort-style pools, fine dining, and a calendar full of activities.
But beyond the amenities, what really stands out is the sense of connection here. People show up for each other. They celebrate milestones together. And there’s a shared joy in the lifestyle that makes you feel like part of something meaningful.
Why it stands out:
– Golf, equestrian, spa, dining, and fitness all in one place
– Spacious homes and walkable layouts
– A lively community that balances beauty with belonging
