Some tours blur into noise. This one feels like a game.

Nashville Pub Crawl Golf Game by Golf Cart swaps the usual stumble-through-Broadway plan for bar golf: your group gets a cart, putters, and a scorecard while you hit stops around Midtown. I like that it’s run with small-group service and a local guide, so you’re not just herded from bar to bar.

You’ll also see Nashville in motion, thanks to a private golf cart setup that makes the whole experience feel different from a standard walking pub crawl. The main drawback to plan for: drinks are not included, and with up to five bars in about two hours, you’ll be on a steady schedule even when the vibe is great.

If you care about fun structure, friendly competition, and not spending your whole trip in one stretch of Broadway, this is a strong match.

Key things that make this tour tick

• Your own private golf cart + caddie for the group, not a big bus-style experience
• Mobile putting green and putters that turn each bar stop into a mini round
• Score matters: lowest score wins, with penalties built into the rules
• Up to five Nashville bar stops in about two hours, mostly around Midtown
• Local guide energy: people often highlight drivers like Tyler, Cam, Will, Joe, and Swade

Why bar golf beats a typical Nashville pub crawl

Nashville pub crawls usually run one way: walk, drink, repeat. This one changes the rhythm. You still get the bar scene, but the tour adds a game layer, so you’re busy between drinks. That matters if your group wants laughter and interaction without everyone staring at their phones.

The golf format also gives the night a natural focus. You’re not trying to decide where to stand, what to order, or who to talk to. The caddie/guide keeps things moving, and each stop has a reason to exist: a chance to putt, score, and chase a win.

Finally, this tour tends to attract groups who want a social challenge. If you’re going with friends, bachelor or bachelorette groups, or a mixed group that won’t all agree on one “best bar,” the competition helps everyone rally together.

Price and what you truly get for $62.47

At $62.47 per person for about two hours, you’re paying for more than a label-swap-and-go itinerary. Your ticket covers:

• A 2-hour golf game bar tour
• Private golf cart transportation for your group
• Local professional caddie/guide
• Stop at up to 5 Nashville bars while playing the game
• Trip insurance (listed as $6.99 per person)

The big thing to understand is that drinks are not included. That’s actually a plus for some people, because you choose what you want (or don’t want). But it also means you should budget for bar tabs on your own.

So is it good value? In my view, it is if you want the carts and the structured game included. If you’re only after a casual drink-and-wander night, a cheaper walking pub crawl might look tempting. But once you factor in private cart transport, putters, and the guided scoring game, this price starts to make sense—especially for groups that enjoy friendly competition.

How the mini golf scoring turns bars into a real game

This is not just a theme. The tour treats bar stops like holes in a course.

You play with a putting setup and then your score gets calculated based on:

• How well you putt
• Penalty points (yes, there’s a penalty list)
• A simple rule: lowest scores win

That structure changes group dynamics. Instead of everyone splitting off to find their own vibe, your group works as one unit, cheering good shots and laughing at bad ones. It’s also easier to jump into conversation, because someone is always asking about score, strategy, or the rules.

One more practical point: bar golf works best with groups of four or more (the game is described as being played between destinations by four or more people). If you’re traveling as a pair, ask about group matching possibilities when you book—otherwise, the vibe can feel less like a tournament.

Stop 1: Joyride Nashville with your cart, caddie, and mobile putting green

Your start point is 833 9th Ave S, Nashville, TN 37203, and the tour loops back to the same area at the end. After you meet up, the experience kicks in right away with the Joyride setup.

Here’s what makes Stop 1 feel like the start of something real:

• You get a private golf cart for your group
• You have a caddie/guide who helps keep the game flowing
• There’s a mobile putting green plus a set of putters
• The tour design sets you up for five total bar stops through the night

This is where you get the rules in a way that doesn’t feel like a lecture. The caddie/guide handles the logistics so you can focus on playing. The putting green means the first bar stop isn’t just about finding a drink—it’s about getting your bearings, warming up your “pistol grip” (or your best guess), and starting your score off right.

One small consideration: because drinks are not included, you might feel the difference between “game mode” and “bar mode.” That’s easy to manage. Just treat the putt portion as the anchor of the evening, then order drinks that fit your pace instead of waiting for a preplanned option.

Stop 2: Downtown and Midtown Nashville bars on a timed course

After Joyride Nashville, you head toward the bar-hopping section of the game, where you visit some of Nashville’s midtown spots. The tour is described as a recreational drinking game, but with one major twist: it’s pub crawl rules turned into a golf game.

You’ll spend your time between stops on:

• Golf-cart transport (so you’re not stuck in long waits or shoulder-to-shoulder walking)
• Short game moments at each bar where scoring and penalties happen
• Southern hospitality vibes, with a focus on bars that are more than just a photo-op

What I like about this setup is the balance. You still get the social atmosphere of a pub crawl, but the cart transport keeps the group together. And the game rules keep everyone engaged, even if your group has different comfort levels with loud crowds.

The one drawback to consider is pacing. In a two-hour window, you’re aiming for up to five bars. That means you won’t have an all-night hang at any one place. If your top priority is hours-long conversation at a single favorite bar, this may feel rushed. If your priority is variety plus a fun competition, you’re exactly in the sweet spot.

Stop 3: Music Row between radio stations and record-label offices

The tour also includes time in Music Row, the area connected to Nashville’s country music industry. This is the zone home to record label offices, radio stations, and recording studios.

Even when you’re not inside a studio (details on entrances aren’t listed), the area itself helps you understand why Nashville became a songwriting and broadcast powerhouse. It also gives your night a contrast: you started with an organized mini-golf tournament, you hit bar scenes, and then you pass through the music-business side of town.

If you like context that doesn’t slow you down, this stop is a good fit. You get a sense of the industry geography without turning the tour into a classroom.

Guides and carts: the small-group factor that changes everything

A big reason this tour scores so high is how it feels with the people running it.

The tour is capped at a maximum of 50 travelers, and the experience is framed as small group with personal service. You’ll get a local professional caddie/guide, and multiple guides are called out by name in feedback: Tyler, Cam, Dylan, Will, Joe, Swade, Nick, Foster, Mick, Sean, Richie, Austin, and Jeremiah.

What to look for in your booking mindset:

• If you like a guide who keeps things playful and moving, you’ll probably enjoy the experiences people describe with names like Tyler and Joe.
• If you want neighborhood context while you’re playing, guides like Cam and Dylan are specifically mentioned for sharing fun facts and handling the route smoothly.

Also, the golf carts matter more than you might think. They reduce friction. You’re not doing constant route-planning, and you’re not stuck making choices like will we cross this street or should we take another turn. Your group stays in the flow.

What to wear, bring, and plan for (so you enjoy every putt)

This tour runs rain or shine, and you should dress for the weather. You’ll also be in and out of bars, so comfort beats “cute but painful” every time.

Bring:

• Your ID. The minimum age is 21, and the info states you must show ID to enter bars.
• Comfortable shoes for short walks at each stop and quick transitions.
• A plan for drinks: since they’re not included, decide in advance if you’ll do one drink per stop, share, or go light.

Dressing up is encouraged, which matches the “tournament” vibe. If your group enjoys costumes or themed outfits, this is one of the better Nashville activities for it.

One more practical note: confirmation happens after booking, and the ticket is mobile. So make sure your phone is charged and your ticket access is easy.

Who should book this Nashville golf pub crawl

This is a great pick for:

• Friends looking for a shared activity with natural laughs
• Bachelor and bachelorette groups that want energy but not chaos
• Anyone who wants to see bars beyond the main Broadway strip
• Groups that like competition, even if nobody is serious about golf

It’s not the best match if:

• You’re hoping for a slow, laid-back evening with long stays
• Your group has no interest in a scoring game
• You want all drinks handled for you (drinks cost extra)

If you’re unsure, think of it like this: you’re buying structure. The game gives you the plan, the carts give you movement, and the bars give you the payoff.

Should you book? My take on the call

I’d book this if you want a Nashville night that feels organized but still playful. The mix of private cart transport, a caddie-guided mini golf setup, and up to five bar stops is exactly the kind of value that makes a price like $62.47 feel fair—especially for groups who will actually play.

I’d hesitate if you dislike competitive games or if you’re the type who wants to nurse one drink for hours. In that case, two hours and five stops may feel like a sprint.

One smart move: book with a group of at least four if you can, because the tournament format is designed to work that way. Also, when you book, keep an eye out for guide names people highlight—if Tyler, Cam, Joe, or Swade fits your style, it’s worth asking.

If you’re traveling soon, plan ahead. This experience is often booked around 27 days in advance on average, and the small-group feel is part of the appeal.
