The Weather Just Gets Better
August heat is brutal. By September, Tennessee weather transforms into something magical for golf. You’re looking at daytime temperatures in the mid-70s, dropping to the low 60s for early morning rounds. The humidity that made summer rounds feel like playing in a sauna? Gone. The air is crisp, clear, and perfect for golf.
This isn’t just more comfortable, it actually changes how you play. Your clubs behave differently. The ball flies cleaner. Your body doesn’t wear down after 18 holes. You can play 36 holes in a day without feeling like you’ve been through a battle.
Course Conditions Are at Their Peak
Hermitage’s maintenance crew spends all summer preparing the courses for this moment. The greens are rolling true. The fairways are lush and firm. The rough is playable but challenging. President’s Reserve and General’s Retreat are both in pristine condition come September.
When the course is in perfect shape and the weather is perfect, golf becomes what it’s supposed to be: enjoyable. You’re not fighting the elements. You’re not battling heat exhaustion. You’re just playing good golf on a beautiful course.
You’ll Actually Want to Stay Longer
This is the season where two rounds a day doesn’t sound like a punishment. This is when a three-day stay turns into “let’s extend it to four days.” The weather makes you want to be outside, and our courses give you a reason to stay.
Stay in one of our luxury lodges on-site, and you’ve got everything you need to make a multi-day golf trip feel effortless. Wake up, play a round, grab lunch at Hickory Sticks Grill, hit the range, play another round, and head back to your lodge. No driving across town. No hotel shuffling. Just golf and comfort, all in one place.
Fewer Crowds, Better Availability
Summer is peak vacation season for most of the country. Courses are packed. Tee times are hard to come by. Come fall, a lot of people are back to work and school, which means availability opens up at Hermitage.
You can book tee times closer to your preferred times. You can coordinate your group’s schedules more easily. You can get in our lodges for the dates you want instead of working around availability. September and October are the sweet spot before the Thanksgiving rush.
