Walking Only
Opening Fall 2026
Spring Hill, Tennessee
Thirty miles south of Nashville, on 700 acres of rolling farmland where the Tennessee countryside opens up into long views and quiet, Andrew Green is building the most anticipated debut original design in American golf. For a decade, Green earned his reputation restoring Golden Age masterpieces — Oak Hill, Congressional, Inverness, East Lake — courses where he proved he understood what the great architects intended. Firefly is his chance to prove he can create that from scratch. The early evidence says he can.
The championship course at Firefly is an 18-hole, par-72 design stretching 7,200 yards from the back tees, with five sets of tees bringing the course as short as 4,860 yards for newer players. Andrew Green's design philosophy is rooted in restraint — he's let the property do most of the work. The front nine loops through flatter terrain, a gentle introduction to the property's character. The back nine climbs to a high point where the course reveals itself: panoramic views across rolling Tennessee countryside, the kind of long sightlines that make you understand why pioneers settled this land. It's a routing that feels inevitable, as though it grew from the place rather than being imposed upon it.
Walking only, with a caddie program — a deliberate philosophical choice that's increasingly rare. There are no golf cars at Firefly, no mechanized acceleration of pace. The caddies are part craftsmen, part historians of the property, selected for their knowledge of the land and their ability to read conditions and golfer temperament with equal precision. It's a choice that slows the day down, that makes the experience of playing golf feel less like consumption and more like communion with the course and whoever you're playing with.
Beyond the championship course, a 9-hole short course opens in summer 2026, designed as a second experience of the property — shorter holes on their own loop, a chance for members to play quickly, to experiment, to spend an evening on the course without the commitment of a full round. The routing philosophy is the same: minimal earthmoving, maximum respect for how the land wants to sit.
The routing, property, and elements fit together in such a flowing manner that it will feel as if this place has existed for decades.Andrew Green
Firefly is being developed by Storied Development, the team behind Boot Ranch and Talisker Club, in partnership with Wheelock Street Capital — developers who understand that what matters isn't just what you build, but how it fits into the rhythms of a family's life. The community will ultimately be 400 homes on 700 acres, gated, quiet, with the kind of density that feels sparse rather than crowded. This is intentional. Every home has room to breathe. Every member has a genuine sense of ownership, not just of their lot, but of the whole property.
The amenity package reflects that philosophy. Beyond the championship and short courses, there's a full-service clubhouse, fitness center, both an adult and children's pool, bowling lanes, indoor pickleball courts, and a STEAM learning center for younger members. It's not an exhaustive list of everything money can buy — it's a carefully curated collection of the things that make a family want to spend time together. The teaching academy, equipped with Trackman, sits adjacent to the short course for those seeking instruction or just wanting to understand their swing better. Firefly is 15 miles south of Franklin in what is arguably the fastest-growing corridor in Tennessee. The market velocity tells the story: 80+ homesites sold in 45 days, a pace that signals genuine, unforced demand. Most Nashville private clubs are at or near capacity, their waitlists years long. Firefly opened to a market that was waiting.
Nashville is one of the fastest-growing wealth markets in the country. Tech talent, finance, manufacturing, and the broader draw of the city's culture have created sustained inbound migration at the affluent end of the market — exactly the demographic that forms the core of private golf club membership. Firefly is the first significant private golf community to break ground in the Nashville corridor in years. The timing is precise: a market with pent-up demand meeting a product that's been five years in planning. Founding memberships launched at $100,000 deposit, and the first 60 sold immediately. Encore memberships, a second tier, launched in early 2025. What that velocity means is simple: there's genuine demand from people who want what Firefly represents — a return to the idea that golf can be integrated into a lifestyle rather than compartmentalized as a single activity.
For Andrew Green, Firefly is a career-defining moment. His restoration work earned him a place among the architects who get to touch the great courses — to understand their intentions, to sit in the presence of history. Firefly is his chance to create that history from scratch. The early evidence — the routing, the property, the way the course is beginning to reveal itself through the architecture of the land — suggests he's doing exactly that.
What makes Firefly distinctive is the belief that golf courses should feel as though they grew from the land rather than being imposed upon it. Walking only. Caddies. Minimal earthmoving. A design philosophy rooted in restraint. A developer with a track record of building communities where families actually want to spend time. A market that's waited years for exactly this product, in exactly this location. And at the center of it all, an architect — Andrew Green — who has proved he understands the timeless principles of great course design by studying and restoring them, and who now has the chance to create something from that knowledge that will feel, within a decade, as though it's always been here. Early evidence suggests Nashville was waiting for exactly this.
