Troubadour Golf and Field Club

Troubadour Golf and Field Club is a private residential community in College Grove, Tennessee, centered on custom estate homes set on large acreage. The lifestyle here is built around a high-service, resort-style membership experience: a championship golf course, dining sourced from a private farm, live-music venues, and a strong emphasis on a gated, concierge-level club setting. If you are drawn to a private-club environment with custom homes on generous land, Troubadour offers one of the most distinctive new-construction lifestyles in the area south of Nashville. Because community plans and membership details can change, we recommend confirming the current scope of the community directly before you commit.

Builders and home styles at Troubadour

Custom homes at Troubadour have been built by Discovery Builders of Tennessee along with a roster of approved custom builders, including Grove Park Construction, Tennessee Valley Homes, Legend Homes, Beinke Builders, Wiesner Custom Homes, and Aspen Construction. Because this is a custom-home community, each residence is designed and built rather than chosen from a fixed set of floor plans, so the builder lineup and approved-builder program are worth confirming live before you commit.

The homes here are custom estate residences — resort-style, single-family luxury homes on large acreage lots. Because each home is built to order, sizes range widely and reflect the custom nature of the community: floor plans, room counts, and finishes are tailored to each buyer rather than standardized. Specific bedroom and bath counts, square footage, and included features vary by home and builder, so we recommend reviewing the exact specifications of any home or lot you are considering, and we are glad to pull the current details for you.

Amenities and the day-to-day lifestyle

Troubadour is a private residential club, and the amenity package reflects that resort-style approach. At the center is a championship golf course, complemented by additional sporting and outdoor amenities — features such as sporting clays and equestrian facilities have been part of the field-club concept for those who want a true field-club experience alongside the golf. Because the amenity lineup can change, confirm the current offerings directly before you buy.

Beyond recreation, the community is anchored by a clubhouse with member programming and concierge service, a private farm with farm-to-table dining, and music and live-entertainment venues. As a gated, private community, day-to-day life leans heavily on these member amenities. Programming, membership structure, and which amenities are open at any given time can change, so confirm the current amenity and membership details directly before you buy.

Location and commute

Troubadour sits in College Grove, in the rural southern reaches of the greater Nashville area. College Grove is a more rural part of the greater Nashville area, so the community is a meaningful distance from downtown Nashville and from downtown Franklin, and drive times depend on your route and destination.

Drive times depend entirely on where you are headed and when you leave, so don't take any single published estimate at face value. The best approach is to clock it yourself: enter your real destination — your office, the school you care about, the airport — and run it at your actual departure time, both a weekday morning and an evening, to see what your routine would really look like. We are happy to help you map that out against the specific homesite you are considering.

Who Troubadour fits

Troubadour is suited to buyers who want a private-club lifestyle with custom estate homes on large acreage. If a championship golf course, outdoor sporting and field amenities, farm-to-table dining from a private farm, and live-music venues describe how you want to spend your time — and you value the privacy of a gated community with concierge-level service — this community is built around exactly that mix. Because every home is custom and the lots are sizable, it also fits buyers who want to design a residence to their own specifications rather than buy a standardized plan.

What to verify before you buy here

• Current pricing — published figures move quickly in custom new construction, so we pull live numbers for any specific home or lot before you make decisions.
• HOA and club dues — confirm the amount, what the dues and any membership fees cover, and what is required versus optional.
• Lot specifics — acreage, boundaries, topography, easements, and any restrictions on the homesite you are considering.
• Builder warranty and what's included — clarify which builder is building your home, the warranty terms, and what is standard versus an upgrade.
• Construction timeline — confirm the realistic build schedule and any phase or availability details, which change often.
• Your real commute — clock the drive to the places you go most, at the times you actually travel.

Where Troubadour sits and how the commute really works

Troubadour sits in College Grove, an unincorporated community in southern Williamson County (ZIP 37046) between College Grove and Arrington, on what was previously Tennessee walking-horse farm acreage. Multiple sources describe the drive as roughly 30 miles and about 30-40 minutes to downtown Nashville, and roughly 13 miles and about 20 minutes to downtown Franklin, with Nashville International Airport cited around 35 miles away (nashvillehome.guru, 2026; Felix Homes, 2026). Those are third-party estimates, not guarantees — traffic on Highway 431, Horton Highway, and the connecting rural roads in this part of the county varies a lot with time of day.

Because College Grove is one of the more rural corners of Williamson County, day-to-day errands, schools, and services tend to route through Franklin or Nolensville rather than being immediately on-site. If you commute into downtown Nashville, Cool Springs, or the Brentwood/Franklin office corridor, we strongly recommend driving the exact route yourself at your real departure time before you buy — a published estimate can look very different from a Monday-morning reality, and we're glad to ride along or map it out with you against a specific homesite.

Community scale and development history

Troubadour is developed by Discovery Land Company, the firm behind other private residential clubs such as Yellowstone Club in Montana and Mountaintop in North Carolina (discoverylandco.com, 2026). Reporting on the community's scale varies slightly by source and by when the figure was published: nashvillehome.guru (2026) cites 375 planned homesites on 908 acres, while Felix Homes (2026) cites a final build-out of 369 homes across roughly 860 acres. Multiple sources place groundbreaking around 2016, with built homes on record dating from roughly 2017 through the present. Because build-out figures shift as phases are released and re-platted, we treat any specific homesite count as directional, not final, and confirm the current phase and remaining inventory before you tour.

The golf course and club-branded amenities

The centerpiece is an 18-hole championship course designed by Tom Fazio (Golf Digest course profile; discoverylandco.com, 2026). Beyond the course itself, sources describe an outdoor amphitheater used for live music, a stocked fishing pond, a fitness center and walking trails, tennis and pickleball courts, a resort-style pool, and dining venues supplied in part by the community's private organic farm (nashvillehome.guru, 2026; Felix Homes, 2026). Sporting-clays and equestrian activities are also part of the field-club concept associated with Discovery Land communities generally. As with any club amenity list, what is open, under construction, or planned can change — we confirm the current roster and hours directly with the club before you rely on it.

Membership structure — what's publicly reported

Troubadour operates as a private, membership-contingent community: home purchases generally require club membership approval, which is part of how Discovery Land Company communities maintain their private-club character (Discovery Land Company; Felix Homes, 2026). Third-party sources report a multi-part membership cost structure — a club initiation fee, annual dues, a one-time community enhancement fee tied to the home's purchase price, and a separate monthly HOA charge — with the reported figures varying noticeably from source to source. We're flagging this as a fee structure reported by outside real-estate and club-data sites, not confirmed numbers from the club itself — membership economics for a private club are not something we'd ever want you to rely on secondhand. Before you make a decision, we help you get the current initiation fee, dues, enhancement fee, and HOA charge directly from Troubadour's membership office.

Recent sales activity and price context

As of 2026, nashvillehome.guru reports a trailing 12-month snapshot for Troubadour of 12 closed sales ranging from roughly $3.45 million to $13.75 million, a median sale price of about $5.85 million (up from a prior median near $5.5 million), and an average price of roughly $1,140 per square foot at the time it was published. Felix Homes (2026) separately cites an average price around $986 per square foot and an average sale price near $4.24 million, drawn from a different slice of the market data. The spread between these figures illustrates how much recent sales mix — a handful of very large estate closings versus smaller resales — can swing an averaged number in a small, low-volume luxury market. We can't predict where prices go from here, and neither can any website; what we can do is pull the actual current listings, recent closed comps, and price-per-square-foot for the specific home or lot you're evaluating.

Home sizes and lot sizes in more detail

Reported built-home square footage at Troubadour spans a wide range — from smaller original-phase homes around 2,572-2,700 sq ft up to estate homes over 10,000 sq ft, with a reported median near 5,528 sq ft (nashvillehome.guru, 2026). Individual homesite lots are reported in the roughly 0.34 to 0.79-acre range for standard lots, with some custom lots reported up to around 2 acres (nashvillehome.guru, 2026; Felix Homes, 2026) — smaller than you might expect for an estate community, since the acreage here is concentrated in shared golf, farm, and open-space land rather than individual yards. If a specific lot size or usable acreage matters to your plans (a pool, a barn, extra parking for guests), we pull the plat and survey for that exact homesite rather than relying on a community-wide range.

Schools serving the area

Public-school assignment for College Grove addresses generally runs through the Williamson County Schools zone, with College Grove Elementary and Fred J. Page Middle and High School commonly cited as the schools serving this part of the county. We don't characterize school quality one way or the other — assignments are based on the specific home address and can be redrawn, so we recommend pulling the current zoned schools for any exact address on GreatSchools.org and the Tennessee Department of Education report-card site before you buy, and we're glad to help you find those look-up tools.

Williamson County context for investors and relocating buyers

College Grove sits in Williamson County, one of Tennessee's fastest-growing counties and consistently one of the state's higher-cost markets for new construction. The Williamson County Commission set the county property tax rate at $1.30 per $100 of assessed value for the 2025-2026 fiscal year, down from a prior rate of $1.88 following the county's periodic reassessment (Williamson County Commission budget action, reported by WKRN, June 2026) — property tax rates are set annually and can change, so we recommend confirming the current rate and your specific parcel's assessed value with the Williamson County Property Assessor before closing. The 37046 ZIP code covering College Grove had a reported population in the range of roughly 4,700 to 7,500 residents depending on the data source and year cited (city-data.com; bestplaces.net, 2026) — a reminder that this is a low-density, rural part of the county compared to Franklin or Brentwood.

Frequently asked questions

Is Troubadour open to the public for golf or dining? No — Troubadour operates as a private residential club, and access to the course, dining, and amenities is generally tied to club membership rather than public or daily-fee access (Discovery Land Company; Golf Digest course listing, 2026). Confirm current guest and reciprocal-play policies directly with the club.

Do I have to build with Discovery Builders of Tennessee, or can I use another approved builder? Multiple approved custom builders are active in the community alongside Discovery Builders of Tennessee, including Grove Park Construction, Tennessee Valley Homes, Legend Homes, Beinke Builders, Wiesner Custom Homes, and Aspen Construction (nashvillehome.guru, 2026; Felix Homes, 2026). The approved-builder roster and each builder's current availability can change, so confirm live before you select one.

Is Troubadour still selling new homesites, or is it mostly resales now? Reporting from 2026 shows a mix of remaining new construction and a resale market with double-digit closed sales in the trailing 12 months, which suggests the community has matured into both new-build and resale activity (nashvillehome.guru, 2026). We pull the current split between available new homesites and active resale listings for you before you tour.
