Nashville: 2-Hour Golf Cart Bar Crawl Tour
The unusual hook here is simple: you play putt-putt golf while bar-hopping through Nashville. A golf cart carries you between stops in Midtown, where your score helps determine the drinks you buy and a penalty list adds a playful twist to the afternoon.
I like the built-in game, which gives the tour more shape than a basic bar crawl. I also like the golf cart transport, especially when you want to cover several bars without arranging rides between them. Guides named Jake and Jeremiah have been praised for humor, local suggestions, and the ability to adjust the outing to a group.
The main catch is that drinks cost extra, and the guide’s level of energy can affect the experience. One outing felt less prepared and less involved, so you should book this for the social game and easy transportation, not as a formal Nashville history tour.
Key points to know before booking
- Putt-putt controls the drinking game: Your golf score helps determine a selection of drinks, while missed shots can bring penalty points.
- Golf cart travel keeps the group together: You are picked up at your hotel and ride between selected Midtown bars.
- Drinks are not included: Plan on about $6 per drink, with your final cost depending on how many you purchase.
- Small groups may be combined: A party of four can be grouped with another party of up to six people.
- The guide makes a real difference: Jake and Jeremiah have been especially good at adding humor, recommendations, and a personal feel.
- You need to be 21 or older to drink: Bring a passport, ID card, or driver’s license, and provide a phone number that works during your trip.
A two-hour Nashville bar crawl with a golf game

This is not a tour for ticking off major landmarks. It is a social afternoon built around short rides, bar stops, putting challenges, and drinks.
The basic pattern is easy to follow. You begin with hotel pickup, meet your guide, and start a two-hour putt-putt tournament. The golf game is combined with a drinking contest, so your putting performance matters. Better or worse scores can affect which predetermined drink you receive, while the penalty list adds points for missed shots or other mistakes.
I like this format because it gives everyone something to do right away. A normal bar crawl can lose momentum when a group is deciding where to go next. Here, the course and rules give the outing a shared purpose.
The tour is designed for four or more people. If your own party has only four, you may be placed with another group of as many as six. That can be a plus if you enjoy meeting people and want a livelier game. It is less ideal if you are hoping for a completely private outing.

What the golf cart adds to the afternoon

The golf cart is the practical heart of the experience. Instead of walking the full route or arranging separate rides, you move as one group between Midtown bars.
That matters after the first drink. Nobody needs to nominate a driver, split up an Uber, or figure out the next stop while the rest of the group waits. The cart also keeps the activity connected to the city. You get a moving view of the area between stops rather than spending the whole afternoon inside bars.
Still, this is transport between drinking venues, not a sightseeing ride. You should not expect a full city tour or detailed commentary on every street. The value is convenience and group spirit.
The golf cart can also make the outing feel more relaxed than a standard walking crawl. You are not racing from one door to another. The ride becomes part of the social time, with the guide managing the route and keeping the group together.
How the putt-putt rules shape the experience

The putting contest is more than a small extra. It determines how the bar crawl works.
You play a fun course designed for the group, with drink selections based on how well you putt. A penalty list supplies extra points for certain errors. The exact holes, drinks, and penalties are not specified in advance, so you should think of the rules as a playful framework rather than a serious sporting competition.
That is good news if your golf skills are weak. You do not need to be a golfer, and the point is participation rather than technique. A poor putt can become part of the joke, while a good score gives you a small competitive edge.
I would treat the game as an icebreaker. It gives strangers in a combined group an instant reason to talk. It also keeps the tour from becoming a simple sequence of ordering drinks.
The downside is that people who do not enjoy drinking games may find the structure a little forced. You can still enjoy the golf cart and bars, but the putting and penalty system are central to the experience. This is best for a group that likes light competition and does not mind being part of the joke.
Midtown bars and Southern hospitality
The tour visits several of Nashville’s popular Midtown bars. The specific venues can vary, and no complete stop list is provided, so you should not book this expecting particular bars by name.
What you can count on is a route through a busy part of Nashville’s bar scene, with short visits connected by golf cart. The focus is on the feel of Midtown and the friendliness of the stops, not on a guided lesson about cocktail history or local architecture.
That makes the guide important. Jeremiah was praised for knowing Nashville, suggesting good drinks, and recommending restaurants for later. He also made the outing feel tailored to the group rather than following a stiff script. Jake was described as a lot of fun, which points to the relaxed, personality-led style this tour aims for.
One guide received a more mixed assessment. The outing was safe and enjoyable enough, but the guide seemed less involved and less prepared than expected. I would take that as a fair warning: the tour’s strongest moments may come from the guide’s humor, timing, and local suggestions, while a quieter guide could make the same route feel more ordinary.

The guide can make or break the two hours
A two-hour activity leaves little room for a slow start. You need a guide who can explain the game quickly, keep the group moving, and make the bar stops feel connected.
The strongest guide experiences here have several clear traits. Jeremiah brought humor, adjusted to the group’s personality, shared Nashville tips, and offered useful restaurant suggestions after the tour. That kind of help has value because you can turn the end of the crawl into the start of another part of your evening.
Jake also received praise for making the outing fun. I would expect the guide to act less like a museum narrator and more like a host, referee, driver, and local friend rolled into one.
Your expectations should match that role. The guide will help create the mood and get you around safely, but this is not presented as a detailed cultural tour. If you want dates, famous buildings, and long explanations, choose a different Nashville activity. If you want a person to organize a social afternoon and keep the energy moving, this setup makes sense.
What the $56 price really covers
The listed price is $56 per person. That includes the putt-putt tournament and the guided golf cart bar crawl, but not the drinks.
Drinks average about $6 each. Even a modest number of purchases can raise the total, so I would budget beyond the advertised price. The final cost depends on your choices, the number of stops, and how closely you follow the drinking game.
The price is easiest to justify if you value the package rather than comparing it with the cost of a single drink. You are paying for hotel pickup, golf cart transport, a planned route, the putting contest, and a guide who manages the outing. Those separate pieces would take time and planning to arrange on your own.
It is less attractive if you only want to visit a few bars. You could spend less by choosing your own venues and walking or arranging rides, though you would lose the game and the organized group experience.
I see this as a moderate-value activity for a birthday, reunion, bachelor or bachelorette weekend, or a first afternoon in Nashville when you want an easy plan. For a quiet couple looking for a low-cost drink, it is probably more structure and expense than necessary.
Group size, timing, and the right kind of company
The tour lasts two hours, which is long enough to visit several bars without taking over your whole day. You can still plan dinner or another activity afterward, and the guide may offer restaurant ideas at the end.
The four-person minimum matters. If you book as a group of four, you may be combined with another party of up to six. I would see that as part of the design, not an unusual exception. The more open you are to meeting other people, the more likely the shared setup will work well.
The activity suits outgoing groups that enjoy games, drinks, and casual conversation. It can also work for a smaller party that wants a ready-made social setting. It is not the best match for anyone who wants complete privacy, a serious golf experience, or a calm tasting tour.
You should also keep the drinking element in mind. The legal drinking age in Tennessee is 21. Bring a passport, ID card, or driver’s license so your age can be confirmed. A valid phone number is required so the operator can reach you during your trip.
Accessibility and practical details
The activity is listed as wheelchair accessible. That is useful information, though the available details do not explain the exact golf cart boarding setup or the accessibility of every bar. If you use a wheelchair, contact the provider before booking to confirm the specific vehicle and stop arrangements.
Hotel pickup is part of the experience, which removes one common Nashville planning problem. You should still check the available starting times before choosing a date, since the tour runs at set departure times.
Cancellation is flexible: you can cancel up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund. You can also reserve now and pay later, which helps if your Nashville plans are still shifting.
I would bring only what you need for the afternoon, along with your ID and a phone that works locally. The cart, bars, and putting course create a casual setting, but you are still moving through public venues where responsible behavior matters.
Tips for getting more from the golf cart crawl
I would book this earlier in your Nashville stay if you want the guide’s recommendations to shape the rest of your visit. A suggestion for dinner or another bar is more useful before your evening plans are fixed.
Think of your score as entertainment, not a test. The game works best when everyone accepts the penalties, laughs at bad shots, and lets the guide keep the pace.
Budget for drinks separately. Since the average drink price is about $6 and drinks are not included, the $56 booking price is not your full spending total.
If your group has fewer than four people, expect to join others. That can create a more social afternoon, but it also means you will not control every part of the experience.
Finally, do not choose this tour for a detailed look at Nashville’s past. Choose it for easy transport, a planned Midtown route, and a playful group activity led by a guide who may add local food and drink advice.
Should you book the Nashville golf cart bar crawl?
Book it if you want an organized, funny, low-pressure way to spend two hours in Midtown. The strongest reasons are the golf cart transport, the putt-putt rules, and guides such as Jeremiah or Jake, who brought humor and useful Nashville suggestions.
Skip it if you dislike drinking games, need a private outing, or want a proper city sightseeing tour. Also allow for the extra cost of drinks, since the $56 price does not include them.
For the right group, this is a smart first-day activity or a relaxed afternoon plan. It gives you a route, a game, and a guide, while leaving the rest of your Nashville evening free.
