Nashville: 2-Hour Golf Cart Bar Crawl Tour

Golf, drinks, and a moving seat.

This Nashville bar crawl mixes a putt-putt tournament with golf-cart rides between several midtown bars, giving you an easygoing way to spend two hours without planning every stop yourself. I like the playful scoring system and the chance to see more of the area than you would from one bar stool. I also like that guides such as Jeremiah and Jake have helped make the outing personal, funny, and flexible.

The main catch is simple: drinks cost extra, and the guide’s level of involvement may vary. One person found the tour safe and pleasant but wished for more preparation and commentary. Groups of four can also be joined by another group of up to six, so this is not always a private outing.

Key points to know before booking

• Putt-putt controls the drinking game: Your score determines which predetermined drink you receive, while penalties add another layer of friendly competition.
• Golf-cart transport keeps the tour social: You move between midtown bars without arranging separate rides for each stop.
• The price is $56 per person before drinks: With drinks averaging about $6 each, your final cost will be higher than the advertised tour price.
• Guides can shape the whole experience: Jeremiah earned praise for his humor, local suggestions, and ability to adjust to a group. Jake was also described as a blast.
• Groups may be combined: A party of four can be matched with another group of up to six people.
• You need valid identification: Bring a passport or ID card and a driver’s license. Tennessee’s drinking age is 21.

How the Nashville golf-cart bar crawl works

The experience begins with pickup from your hotel, followed by a two-hour circuit through some of Nashville’s midtown bars. The central idea is a recreational drinking game: you play short rounds of putt-putt, receive a drink based on how well you perform, and take penalties for missed shots or other listed infractions.

That format matters because it gives the outing a purpose beyond simply moving from bar to bar. You have a game to follow, a score to keep, and a guide to keep the group moving. If you enjoy light competition, the golf element gives you an easy way to meet the people riding with you.

The exact bars are not fixed in the information provided, so you should think of this as a guided midtown circuit rather than a guaranteed list of specific venues. The emphasis is on visiting several popular bars and sampling Nashville’s Southern hospitality, not on spending a long time in one carefully selected cocktail lounge.

You should also keep expectations realistic about the word golf. This is a short, social putt-putt game, not a full course or serious sporting event. The game is there to create laughs and friendly rivalry. It is not the reason to book if you want detailed instruction or a challenging round of golf.

Why the golf-cart ride changes the afternoon

The golf cart is more than a novelty. It provides the transport between bars and keeps the group together, so you do not need to organize rides after each drink. In a city where a bar crawl can quickly become a series of walks, waits, and phone calls, that simple setup has real value.

You also get a different view of midtown from an open-air vehicle than you would from inside a car. The supplied details do not promise sightseeing commentary or specific landmarks, so I would not book this as a formal Nashville sightseeing tour. Still, the short rides help connect the stops and give the afternoon a sense of movement.

There is a practical safety benefit, too. One person specifically appreciated that the guide got the group around safely. That is important on a drinking activity, even if it sounds less exciting than the golf and bar stops. You can focus on the social side of the outing while the guide handles the route.

The golf cart also limits the size and style of the experience. It is built for small groups, not a large party bus. A group of four may be combined with another party of as many as six, which can make the outing more social but reduces your control over the group dynamic.

The putt-putt contest and drink rules

The tournament is the hook that separates this tour from a standard bar crawl. You play a selection of putt-putt challenges, and your performance helps determine the drinks connected to your score. There is also a penalty list for penalty points, so the rules add a little structure to what could otherwise be a loose afternoon of drinking.

The exact drink menu and penalty list are not provided, so you should ask the guide how the scoring works at the start. That is especially useful if you have dietary restrictions, do not want alcohol, or simply prefer to know what you may be served before the game gets going.

Drinks are not included in the $56 price. The average drink price is listed as about $6, which gives you a useful planning figure. If you buy one drink at each of several stops, your total can rise quickly. A tour price that first looks moderate may become a much larger afternoon expense once drinks are added.

That extra cost is not automatically a bad deal. You are paying for two hours of organized entertainment, hotel pickup, golf-cart transport, a guide, and the putt-putt tournament. You are also paying to avoid planning the route and coordinating transportation. The value is strongest if you want a ready-made group activity and expect to buy drinks anyway.

It is weaker if you only want to visit bars, prefer choosing your own drinks, or would rather spend the full afternoon at one location. In that case, the game and transport may feel like extras you did not need.

What the midtown bar stops add

The tour visits some of Nashville’s best-known midtown bars, though the supplied information does not name them or promise a fixed stop list. That means the experience is more about the style of the outing than about checking particular venues off your list.

I like the flexibility this can provide. A guide can point you toward drinks and help you get a feel for the area without forcing you to build a bar route from scratch. Jeremiah was praised for recommending good drinks and for offering restaurant suggestions after the tour. That kind of practical local help can be useful if your Nashville plans are still taking shape.

At the same time, the tour is not a food tour and does not include meals. If you need dinner, plan around the two-hour schedule or use the guide’s restaurant suggestions afterward. The information confirms that drinks are available for purchase, but it does not state that food, cover charges, or reserved seating are included.

The bars are also described as some of the hottest midtown spots, so you should expect a social setting rather than a quiet one. The golf cart and group format suit people who enjoy conversation and a little public attention. If you prefer a calm, intimate evening, this may not be the right match.

The guides can make or break the mood

The strongest praise goes to the guides. Jeremiah was described as funny, personable, informative, and good at adjusting to the group’s mood. Another account highlighted his knowledge of Nashville’s bars, drink recommendations, and restaurant advice. Jake was also singled out as a lot of fun.

Those details tell you what to hope for: a guide who does more than drive the cart. The best version of this outing includes quick local pointers, help with the game, conversation during the rides, and enough humor to keep strangers comfortable together.

But you should not assume every departure will feel identical. One person found the guide safe and pleasant but thought the presentation could have been more involved and better prepared. That is a fair warning. The guide’s personality and energy matter a great deal because the activity is short and group-based.

The tour has received an overall rating of 4.3 from six reviews, with most of the available ratings at five stars and one at three. That points to a generally positive experience, while also showing that the guide can shape the final impression.

Who will enjoy this tour most

I would recommend this for adults who want a social Nashville activity with a built-in game. It fits friends celebrating a birthday, a small group looking for an afternoon plan, or people who like meeting others while visiting bars.

It also suits you if you want transportation handled for you. The golf cart makes the route simple, and hotel pickup removes one more planning task. Just provide a valid phone number you can answer while in Nashville so the operator can reach you if needed.

The activity is less suitable for anyone under 21, since Tennessee’s legal drinking age is 21. You should bring a passport or ID card and a driver’s license, and expect to show valid identification.

This can work for a group of four, but remember that your party may be joined by another group of up to six. That arrangement can add energy and new conversation, but it is not ideal if you want a private celebration or a tightly controlled schedule.

The tour is wheelchair accessible, which makes it a useful option for some visitors who need accessible transportation. You should still confirm the practical details of your particular pickup and cart arrangement before booking if you have specific mobility needs.

Timing, price, and planning details

The tour lasts two hours, with starting times depending on availability. That is long enough to create a proper outing but short enough to fit around other Nashville plans. You could use it as an afternoon activity, a pre-dinner event, or a social start to an evening.

At $56 per person, the cost includes the putt-putt tournament and the organized experience, but not drinks. At an average of $6 per drink, even a modest number of purchases will add to the bill. I would budget for the tour price plus drinks rather than treating $56 as the final amount.

You can cancel up to 24 hours before the activity for a full refund. You can also reserve now and pay later, which helps if you are still arranging a Nashville weekend. The tour is conducted in English and includes a live guide.

Bring identification, keep your phone available, and wear something comfortable for a short golf game and golf-cart ride. Most importantly, do not assume your favorite drink or a specific bar is guaranteed. The value here comes from the format, guide, and group atmosphere.

Should you book the Nashville golf-cart bar crawl?

Book it if you want a lighthearted, organized way to visit several midtown bars without planning the route yourself. The golf-cart transport, putt-putt contest, and guide-led atmosphere give the afternoon more shape than a basic bar visit. The positive experiences with Jeremiah and Jake suggest that a lively guide can turn this into a memorable part of your Nashville stay.

Think twice if you dislike group activities, need a fixed bar list, or want drinks included in the price. Also allow for the possibility that the guide may be less animated than expected. For the right group, though, $56 is reasonable for two hours of entertainment and transport, especially if you value convenience and plan to buy drinks anyway.
