Gaylord Springs Golf Links Course captures the tradition and spirit of the game. It is carved from the banks of the Cumberland River and has earned its place among the nation's best. The links style, par 72 layout, offers 18 challenging holes bordered by limestone bluffs and enhanced by federally protected wetlands. At the signature fourth hole, you will find the century-old spring-house from which the club derived its name. The course was designed by former US Open and PGA champion Larry Nelson.

Special Destination Tour
* Jack Daniels Distillery September 20, 2009 (Sun) & September 24, 2009 (Thur)

At the Jack Daniels Distillery, where every drop of Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey is made, you'll see the special process that was developed in 1866. You may also tour the Visitor Center exhibit hall to learn more about the history of the founder and local brands of whiskey.
Following the tour, lunch will be served at Miss Mary Bobo's Boarding House. True to Southern boarding house tradition, guests sit together at large family-style tables alongside a gracious Lynchburg hostess who encourages conversation, shares a bit of local lore, and ensures that dishes are passed to the left. The menu includes generous helpings of two home-style meats, six vegetables, and side dishes; corn bread, biscuits, or rolls; homemade dessert; and a piping hot cup of coffee. After lunch explore historic Lynchburg Town Square and quaint shops.
