Description

Opryland closed in 1997. Grand Ole Golf & Games opened just up the road in 1998. Coincidence? Probably not. The Music Valley Drive area was known for family entertainment and after the loss of Opryland, there was a hole in our collective hearts for some place to gather.

Grand Ole Golf offered two courses of putt-putt golf that paid homage to the Tennessee terrain. The more difficult of the two called “Yellow Caves” that was, truly, quite difficult. Around the bend there was a go-kart track with hairpin turns and an arcade inside with plenty of tickets to win.

It’s unfair to compare Grand Ole Golf to Opryland but they both embodied the spirit of providing wholesome entertainment to the area. Towards the end, the weeds started winning and the equipment was liquidate. By April 2024, and the land went up for sale.
