Founded in 1992, Vanderbilt Legends Club is a 36-hole golf club located in Franklin, just 17 miles south of downtown Nashville.

Vanderbilt men’s and women’s golf unveiled a newly renovated and expanded Vanderbilt Golf House in 2024.

The renovations to the Vanderbilt Golf House increase the building’s footprint by roughly two-thirds. The space features a new lobby, hall of fame, team lounge, locker rooms, meeting rooms, fitness area, outdoor terrace, and offices.

The Cleo and Lewis Conner, Sr. Short Game Facility and driving range tee boxes were expanded and enhanced, while the putting greens were improved to better mirror playing conditions on competition courses. Vanderbilt added a new stroke-gained area to continue to help student-athletes train more efficiently and reach their full potential and modified the chipping areas to create more length for a wider array of shots.

Vanderbilt Legends Club was designed by Bob Cupp, one of the world’s foremost golf course architects, and Tom Kite, PGA Tour-Champions Tour veteran with 19 PGA Tour victories including the 1992 U.S. Open championship. The North course is a 7,200 yard par-72 golf course and the South course plays 7,100 yards and par is 71.

On September 27, 2013, the dedication for Vanderbilt’s Golf House and Training Center at Legends Club took place.

A massive renovation and expansion of the Golf House was completed in 2024 through the Vandy United fundraising campaign.
