Putt-putt can lead to a bar tab. This 2-hour Nashville golf cart bar crawl mixes a competitive putt-putt game with predetermined drink rules, then hops between midtown bars by golf cart. It’s a fun format when you want something more active than the usual walk-and-guess-the-nearest-entrance plan.

Two things I really like: first, the tour keeps moving. Playing a timed putt-putt tournament while you’re heading to drink stops makes the afternoon feel structured without feeling stiff. Second, the guides bring real personality—Jake has been called a blast, and Jeremiah’s style gets described as funny, personable, and tuned to the group.

One consideration: drinks are not included. Plan on adding money on top of the $56 ticket, and remember Tennessee’s legal drinking age is 21.

Key highlights you will actually care about

Nashville: 2-Hour Golf Cart Bar Crawl Tour - Key highlights you will actually care about

  • A scoring game that drives the night: putt-putt performance and a penalty point list determine what drink you’re aiming for next
  • Golf cart transport between midtown bars: short rides mean less walking and more time hanging out
  • Live English guide who knows Nashville: Jake and Jeremiah both get praised for humor and local know-how
  • A plan made for groups of 4+: the course is designed for four or more people, with some grouping possible
  • Drink cost estimate helps you budget: average drink price is about $6, and you’ll buy what you choose during stops

A 2-hour Nashville bar crawl that starts with putt-putt

Nashville: 2-Hour Golf Cart Bar Crawl Tour - A 2-hour Nashville bar crawl that starts with putt-putt
If you’re picturing a classic bar crawl—loud group, long stretches on foot, and everyone trying to remember why they’re there—this one flips the script. You start with a putt-putt tournament, and the game is tied to the drinking rules. That means the tour is part activity, part social time, and part “okay, let’s see what my score earns me.”

The big appeal is that you get two types of fun at once: the silly competition of putt-putt and the payoff of bar stops in between. It’s a lighter way to do Nashville evenings, especially if you’re not trying to commit to a full-blown night out.

Also, it’s designed to work for groups. The course is described as a fun one to play by four or more people, which makes it a better fit for small friend groups than solo bar hopping.

Hotel pickup and golf cart hops: how the timing works

Nashville: 2-Hour Golf Cart Bar Crawl Tour - Hotel pickup and golf cart hops: how the timing works
The day starts with pickup from your hotel. That matters more than it sounds. In Nashville, midtown bars are close enough to be a “reasonable walk”… but “reasonable” disappears the second you’re thirsty, dealing with parking, and trying to stay with the group.

Once you’re on the tour, the golf cart transport becomes your time buffer. You’re not stuck dragging the whole group across town between stops. You’re moving, but you’re not burning energy doing it.

Because the tour is only 2 hours, the rhythm stays tight:

  • you begin with the putt-putt tournament setup and scoring
  • you play while the bar visits are part of the flow
  • you ride between stops by golf cart
  • you finish while the energy is still high

If you like a short plan you can still build the rest of your evening around, that compact timing is a plus.

The putt-putt drinking game: points, penalties, and drink rules

Nashville: 2-Hour Golf Cart Bar Crawl Tour - The putt-putt drinking game: points, penalties, and drink rules
Here’s the heart of the experience: you’re playing a recreational drinking game, not just doing a casual round of putt-putt. Your performance affects what you’re working toward next.

How it works, in practical terms:

  • The tour uses predetermined drink selections tied to how well you putt
  • There’s also a penalty list that adds penalty points when you don’t do well
  • Those points shape what you’re aiming to order during bar stops

So instead of “everyone picks their own drink,” you get an extra layer of play. It turns the bar environment into a continuation of the game rather than a separate, awkward break.

And yes—you still control your choices as an adult. But from a vibe standpoint, the game format tends to get people talking and comparing shots. It’s the kind of activity where the group learns fast: who’s competitive, who’s having fun, and who’s one good putt away from bragging rights.

One safety note: the experience includes a guide, and one review highlights that the guide got everyone around safely. That’s exactly what you want with a moving group and an active drinking component.

Mid-town bar stops with a real local guide

The tour is built around some of Nashville’s best bars, with stops focused on midtown bars. The exact bars aren’t listed in the details you shared, but the intent is clear: you’ll be going where the action is, with the guide helping you time everything and keep it social.

This is where the named guides show up in a meaningful way. Jake gets called a blast—so the guide energy matters here. Jeremiah is described as wonderfully personable, funny, and informative, and he also nailed drink recommendations and suggestions after the tour.

What that means for you: you’re not wandering into bars and hoping you chose right. You’ll likely get help picking something that fits what your group is in the mood for. And if you’re the type who asks for food and fun ideas after your main plan, that’s a plus—Jeremiah’s recommendations after the tour got singled out as spot on.

One more practical point: the tour experience leans on southern hospitality. That doesn’t mean it’s overly formal. It usually means staff and locals are more likely to be friendly and the guide is good at setting a welcoming tone for the group.

What you pay for: value of the $56 ticket and drink costs

The ticket price is $56 per person, for a 2-hour experience. What you’re paying for is the structure:

  • hotel pickup
  • golf cart transport between bar stops
  • the putt-putt golf tournament component
  • a live English guide

What you’re not paying for is the drinks. Drinks are available for purchase, and the average drink price is about $6.

So how should you think about value? Don’t treat $56 as your total cost. Treat it as the price of the plan: the guide, the activity, and the transportation. The drinks are the variable, and your group’s choices will decide the final amount.

If you’re budgeting, here’s a simple way to handle it:

  • Assume you’ll buy at least one drink during the bar stops
  • Add a little extra if your group is playing the game aggressively (or if you end up trying a couple of options)

If you’re careful about ordering, the cost stays predictable. If your group is “we’re here to win putt-putt and celebrate,” you’ll spend more. Either way, the tour is clear about the big cost driver up front: alcohol is on you.

Also remember the legal age requirement. Tennessee’s legal drinking age is 21, so plan to bring valid ID and keep it straightforward.

Group size, mixing, and whether your crew will click

This tour works best when everyone’s into the social rhythm. The course is described as fun to play by four or more people, and your tour group can be combined.

One important detail: groups of four may be grouped with another group of up to six people. That means you could end up with a bigger mixed group than your original booking.

That can be a benefit. A larger group often brings better energy for putt-putt banter and the bar stop hangouts. But it also means you should be okay with sharing the spotlight and adjusting your pace to the group dynamic.

If you want a very quiet, low-key outing, this might not be your best match. If you’re coming for laughs, a competitive game, and a guided plan, it’s a strong fit.

Practical things to bring (and why they matter)

Bring passport or an ID card, plus your driver’s license as listed in the requirements. Don’t underestimate this step—drinking-focused tours need ID to keep things moving.

Also bring whatever you need to stay reachable. You’ll be asked to provide a valid phone number you can be reached on while traveling. That helps the pickup process and reduces the chance of waiting around if anything changes.

And if you’re planning your day around it: think about shoes. You’ll be walking a bit when moving between the putt-putt area and bar stops, and golf cart rides are not the same as rolling around all day in sandals.

Who should book this tour (and who should skip it)

Nashville: 2-Hour Golf Cart Bar Crawl Tour - Who should book this tour (and who should skip it)
Book it if:

  • You want a short, guided Nashville outing that still feels like an event
  • Your group enjoys games, friendly competition, and social drinking culture (within the legal rules)
  • You’d rather ride in a golf cart between stops than do extra walking

Skip or rethink it if:

  • You want drinks included in the price (they aren’t)
  • You’re under 21 or your group isn’t comfortable with a game that’s tied to alcohol ordering
  • You don’t like structured group pacing—even though it’s fun, it’s still a guided 2-hour flow

It’s also a great choice if you’re staying in a hotel near pickup areas and want the convenience factor. Pickup matters when you’re trying to preserve energy for the afternoon’s fun.

Should I book the Nashville 2-hour golf cart bar crawl?

If you want a guided Nashville night that mixes activity with bar stops, I’d book it. The best part is the format: putt-putt scoring keeps things lively, and the golf cart transport keeps it practical.

I’d also book it if you like having a guide who can handle the social side. The guide praise is strong—Jake and Jeremiah both show up in the feedback as funny and tuned to the group, and Jeremiah also gets credit for great drink and post-tour restaurant suggestions.

Just go in with two expectations set clearly: drinks are extra, and it’s a compact 2-hour plan. If you can handle that, this tour is a fun way to spend an afternoon in Nashville without turning it into a chaotic scavenger hunt.
