President’s Reserve at the Hermitage Golf Course, Nashville

Now in its twenty-first year, the Funeral Service Foundation’s golf outing has raised $1.5 million in support of its mission to invest in people and programs that strengthen funeral service and lift up grieving communities.

Gather a foursome* of friends, colleagues and clients for the annual Funeral Service Foundation Golf Classic. This year’s event takes place at President’s Reserve at the Hermitage Golf Course – recognized by Golf Digest as one of the top 10 courses in Tennessee.

Located just 25 minutes from downtown Nashville, this Denis Griffiths-designed course stretches through 300 acres of natural wetlands and along the scenic Cumberland River. Playing up to 7,200 yards, the 18-hole course is challenging yet still suitable for golfers of all skill levels. Two dozen Scottish blackface sheep help keep the course mowed and in top condition on the front and “baa-ack” nine.

Cost per golfer is $275. Registration fee includes transportation; greens fees and cart; breakfast, lunch and drinks; and on-course games and contests. Club rental is also available. We will once again offer a limited number of complimentary single-player registrations to licensed funeral directors, subject to availability.

Register for the 21st Annual Golf Classic

*No foursome? No problem! We can match you with a team of fellow funeral service professionals.
