Living in The Grove: College Grove's Luxury Golf Community

The Grove is College Grove's crown jewel — a gated, luxury golf community that offers a level of privacy and exclusivity that's increasingly rare in Middle Tennessee. Centered around a private Greg Norman-designed championship golf course, the community sits on roughly 1,100 acres of rolling Tennessee countryside just southeast of Franklin. This is not a neighborhood for everyone, and that's entirely the point. Homes here are custom-built luxury estates with expansive floor plans, high-end finishes, and large lots that emphasize privacy. The community is gated, which adds another layer of separation from the outside world. For buyers who want a golf course lifestyle without the density of communities like Westhaven, The Grove delivers. The clubhouse and member experience are central to life here. The Grove Club offers fine dining, a resort-style pool, fitness facilities, and a full social calendar. The golf course itself — designed by Greg Norman — is consistently ranked among the best private courses in Tennessee. It's a serious golfer's community, and the membership reflects that. College Grove sits just outside Franklin's city limits, which means you get the Williamson County schools and proximity to Franklin without the city density. Arrington Vineyards is practically next door. The tradeoff is that you're 15–20 minutes from downtown Franklin and 40+ minutes from Nashville — this is country club living, not suburban convenience.
