Nashville: 2-Hour Golf Cart Bar Crawl Tour

A Nashville bar crawl with putt-putt rules turns the usual round of drinks into a moving game. You start with hotel pickup, play a golf-themed drinking challenge, and travel by golf cart between Midtown bars. I like the mix of short, social games and easy transport between bars, especially if your group wants a guided outing rather than another night of planning its own route.

The guide can make or break the mood. Jake has been praised for bringing fun energy, while Jeremiah has been noted for his humor, local bar knowledge, and useful restaurant suggestions. One point to weigh: drinks are not included, and the specific bars are not named in advance, so you are paying for the guided game and cart ride, not a set list of venues or a drinks package.

Key points before you book

Nashville: 2-Hour Golf Cart Bar Crawl Tour - Key points before you book

  • The golf game shapes the bar crawl: Your putting performance influences the predetermined drink challenges, and penalties add points.
  • The cart links Midtown stops: You ride between bars instead of walking the whole route.
  • The tour lasts two hours: It is a compact outing, not a full evening of bar hopping.
  • Budget extra for drinks: They average about $6 each and are sold separately.
  • Plan on a group of at least four: A party of four may be combined with another group of up to six.
  • Bring identification: The stated packing list calls for a passport or ID card and a driver’s license.

Hotel pickup starts a game, not just a ride

Nashville: 2-Hour Golf Cart Bar Crawl Tour - Hotel pickup starts a game, not just a ride

The outing begins with pickup from your hotel, then moves straight into a putt-putt tournament. That opening matters: you do not need to find a starting bar or work out a route before the group gets together. The game gives everyone a shared activity from the start, which can be useful if your party includes people who do not know one another well.

The format is intended for four or more people. If you have exactly four, you may be grouped with another party of up to six. That can add to the social feel, though it also means the tour may not be private to your group. If keeping your group together is important, check the arrangements before booking.

The basic idea is simple. You putt, your score affects the drink selection, and a penalty list adds points for missed shots or other game outcomes. The exact rules and drink choices are not specified, so ask the guide to explain them before play begins. You can then decide how you want to take part, especially if you prefer to limit your alcohol.

Putt-putt gives the bar stops a purpose

Nashville: 2-Hour Golf Cart Bar Crawl Tour - Putt-putt gives the bar stops a purpose

A conventional bar crawl can blur into a sequence of venues. Here, the golf game gives the group a reason to interact at each stage. Your score influences what comes next, and penalties add a bit of friendly competition. It is a playful setup for a birthday outing, a friends’ weekend, or a group that likes a little structure with its drinks.

The game is recreational, not a serious golf lesson. You should expect a light contest rather than detailed instruction in putting technique. The tour description calls it a unique course, but it does not specify the layout, equipment, or how many holes you will play. If those details matter to you, ask the operator before setting expectations.

There is also a practical point about the drinking-game element. The tour is built around drink choices linked to performance, but drinks cost extra and are not included in the $56 price. You should be clear about your own limits before the game starts. You can still enjoy the social contest without treating every score as a reason to drink more.

Golf-cart rides connect Midtown bars

Nashville: 2-Hour Golf Cart Bar Crawl Tour - Golf-cart rides connect Midtown bars

Between game segments, you travel by golf cart to Midtown bars. That is the tour’s most useful difference from a standard crawl: the cart handles the short links between stops and keeps the group moving together. You get a change of scene without having to navigate each transition on foot.

The bars are described as some of Midtown’s best and hottest, but no venue names are provided. That makes the tour less suitable if you are booking for one particular bar, cocktail menu, or music scene. Instead, think of it as a guided sampling of Midtown nightlife, with the specific stops left to the tour’s route and timing.

The two-hour limit is also worth keeping in mind. You will have time for a quick game and several bar visits, but this is a short-format activity. It is best treated as one part of an evening, not as a complete plan for a long night out. If you want to stay longer at a particular bar, you may need to continue on your own after the tour.

The guide sets the tone

The guides have a visible role in this outing. Jake has been described as lively, while Jeremiah has been praised for being funny, personable, and able to adjust to a group’s mood. He has also been credited with sharing bar recommendations and suggesting restaurants for after the tour. Those are useful qualities in a two-hour experience where the guide is both host and the person keeping the group moving safely.

Guides can differ, of course, and there is no guarantee you will have a particular person. One past outing was described as safe and pleasant but could have used a more engaged, prepared guide. That is a fair reminder: the cart and game provide a framework, but the guide’s energy helps turn the framework into a memorable afternoon or evening.

If you get a guide who knows the area well, ask for a recommendation for after the tour. The outing is short, so a good local suggestion can help you make the rest of the night count. Just remember that suggestions are not a promised part of the itinerary.

What $56 covers, and what it does not

At $56 per person, the price covers the putt-putt tournament and the guided golf-cart bar crawl. The description also says pickup starts at your hotel. Drinks are separate, with an average price of about $6 each. For a simple budget check, one purchased drink would bring your total to about $62; two would make it about $68, before any other costs.

That price makes most sense if you value the game, the transport between bars, and the guide’s help organizing the outing. If you only want to visit bars and do not care about the golf challenge or cart ride, you may prefer to make your own plans. The tour’s value is in combining those pieces into a timed group activity, not in discounted drinks.

You also avoid having to plan a bar-to-bar route yourself. That convenience is helpful for a group that wants a ready-made activity, but the lack of named stops means you should not book expecting a particular venue. If the destination matters more than the format, ask which bars are on the route before paying.

Who will enjoy this Nashville crawl

This suits groups of friends who like games, casual competition, and a guided night out. It is especially practical for a group of four or more that wants an easy way to move between Midtown bars without organizing every detail. The golf format also gives quieter members of a group something to do beyond making conversation over drinks.

It is less ideal for someone seeking an in-depth Nashville history tour, a guaranteed visit to a specific bar, or a long stretch at each venue. The focus is recreation and bar-hopping, with the guide’s local knowledge as a welcome extra rather than the main attraction. And if you do not drink alcohol, ask in advance how the drink-based scoring works for you.

The tour is listed as wheelchair accessible, which is a helpful starting point. If you have specific access needs, contact the operator to confirm how the pickup, cart, and bar stops will work for you. The available information does not detail boarding arrangements or access at each venue.

Practical details to settle before you go

The legal drinking age in Tennessee is 21. Bring a passport or ID card and a driver’s license, as both appear on the stated packing list. You are also asked to provide a valid phone number where you can be reached while travelling.

The tour runs for two hours, with start times depending on availability. It is guided in English. You can cancel up to 24 hours ahead for a full refund, and the reserve-now, pay-later option lets you hold a place without paying at the time of booking.

Should you book the golf cart bar crawl?

Book it if you want a playful, social way to sample Midtown bars and you like the idea of putting, score-based drink challenges, and cart rides between stops. The strongest reasons to go are the unusual game format, the built-in transport, and the chance of getting a guide who adds local recommendations and personality.

Skip it if your priority is a specific bar, included drinks, or a quiet and unhurried evening. At $56 plus the cost of drinks, the value comes from the organized activity and cart, not from a bargain bar tab. For the right group, it is a lively two-hour start to a Nashville night. For a group that would rather choose its own stops and pace, a self-guided crawl may be the better fit.
