Architect Andrew Green has started work on a new golf club south of Nashville to be named Firefly, which will include a full-size 18-hole course plus a nine-hole short course.
These will be the first original designs for Green, who in the past has focused on restorations to such acclaimed courses as Scioto and Inverness in Ohio, Congressional's Blue Course in Maryland, Oak Hill East in New York, East Lake in Georgia and Interlachen in Minnesota. Green broke ground on Firefly in December, and the private courses are slated to open in the spring of 2026.
"Designing Firefly has been an extraordinary opportunity to create something truly unique, inspired by the natural beauty and dynamic topography of Middle Tennessee," Green said in a media release announcing the commencement of work. "This land offers a remarkable canvas with its rolling hills, diverse terrain and sweeping vistas, allowing us to craft a course that is both visually stunning and strategically engaging."
The courses will be part of a 700-plus-acre luxury residential community in Spring Hill, Tennessee, being constructed by Storied Development in partnership with Wheelock Street Capital. Initial homesite are expected to become available in this spring, with homesites ranging from $500,000 to $1.5 million. Homes are anticipated to start at $2.5 million. The community will include a wide range of recreational and fitness activities.
