Nashville: 2-Hour Golf Cart Bar Crawl Tour
Book on GetYourGuide →Operated by Joyride Nashville · Bookable on GetYourGuide
A golf cart, a putt-putt course, and a drink rulebook. That combo is why this Nashville bar crawl tour feels different from the usual pub-hopping. I especially like the tight 2-hour time window (so you still have an evening ahead) and the way the game turns group energy into something you do together. One thing to consider: drinks are not included, so your total spend depends on what you order.
You start with hotel pickup and then play a putt-putt-style “drinking game” where how you putt affects what you get (and penalty points factor in). The tour keeps moving too, thanks to golf-cart transport between Nashville’s midtown bars, so you get city motion without long walks.

What I’d Focus On Before You Go

I love that this tour uses the game as the social engine, not just alcohol as the main event. I also like that the format works best with groups (the course is designed to be played by four or more people), which means you’re less likely to get stuck in awkward silence. The main drawback is simple: if you’re not into scoring games or you want a fully drink-included night, you’ll need to adjust expectations.
Key points that matter
- 2-hour format: short enough for a first-time visit to Nashville midtown.
- Game-based drinking rules: putt performance and penalty points shape the drinks.
- Hotel pickup + golf cart transport: less effort, more time socializing.
- Midtown bar hopping: you’ll see the scene area and its southern hospitality vibe.
- Guides can make it: examples like Jake and Jeremiah were praised for humor and local know-how.
- Drinks cost extra: average drink price is listed as about $6, so budget accordingly.

A 2-Hour Nashville Golf Cart Bar Crawl With Putt-Putt Scoring

This tour’s big idea is to turn bar time into a quick, structured game. Instead of “walk in, order, repeat,” you’re playing putt-putt with predetermined drink outcomes, plus penalty points when you don’t hit your targets. That matters because it gives you something to do the whole way through—especially when you’re traveling with friends, couples, or a mixed group.
And because it’s only two hours, you’re not signing up for a half-day of losing track of time. That shorter length is a real value point in Nashville, where it’s easy to stack too many plans and end up tired before dinner.
You’ll also be traveling by golf cart between bars. That changes the feel. You get the bar vibe without the constant walking, and you can reset between stops. In a city like Nashville, where getting around can eat time, that’s a practical win.
Who This Tour Fits Best (and Who Might Want a Different Plan)

This is best for you if you want a social activity with a light competition edge. It’s also a good match if you’d rather visit a handful of good midtown bars than try to plan everything yourself.
It’s especially suitable for groups of four or more. The course is described as fun and unique to play with four or more people, and the tour itself can group parties together: groups of four may be grouped with another group of up to six. If you’re the type who likes meeting new people, that can add energy. If you prefer a strictly private experience, you should be aware it’s designed to work in shared group dynamics.
You might want to think twice if:
- You’re not interested in putt-putt or scoring rules.
- You want a tour where the drinks are fully covered.
- You’re planning a later dinner and need guaranteed quiet time. This one is designed to be lively.
Your Game Plan: How the Putt-Putt + Drink Rules Work

Here’s the core structure: you play a putt-putt game while visiting Nashville bars, and the rules link your putting performance to a set of predetermined drinks. Penalty points are part of the system too, which means one miss doesn’t just slow the game—it can change your drink outcome.
That’s a big deal for the vibe. It means the tour isn’t just about ordering alcohol; it’s about participating in an activity with built-in stakes. Even if you’re not great at putt-putt, you’re still in the game, and the scoring keeps things moving.
A practical tip: arrive ready to play, not to watch. This type of tour works best when everyone participates. If you know you’ll be the one who’s happiest with a spectator role, you might find it less satisfying than you’d hoped.
Hotel Pickup to First Putt: Getting Moving in Midtown
The tour starts with pickup from your hotel. That’s more than a convenience. It lowers the stress level, especially if you’re new to Nashville midtown. You don’t have to worry about parking, finding a meet-up point, or figuring out the timing between bars.
Once you’re on the tour, the two hours move quickly. You’ll begin the putt-putt game right away while the bar route is part of the plan. The golf-cart transport is what keeps it feeling like a single experience instead of separate errands.
Also, it’s guided. Your tour has a live English-speaking guide, so if you’re not sure how the drink scoring works or where you should be at each stage, you’re not left guessing.
Bar Stops on a Golf Cart Loop: What You’ll Actually See
The tour is built around visiting some of Nashville’s best midtown bars. While the exact bars aren’t listed in the information you provided, the theme is clear: you’re not doing random storefronts. You’re hitting popular midtown spots and getting the southern hospitality angle through your guide.
The practical reason this format works: golf-cart transport makes each stop feel like part of the same evening arc. You’re not spending all your energy walking, and you can regroup between the game moments and the bar moments.
One more value point: midtown bar hopping can get complicated if you’re trying to self-plan. It’s easy to end up at places that are less fun for your group size or that don’t match the vibe you’re looking for. On this tour, you’re essentially outsourcing that decision-making to the guide and the route design.
Potential drawback: since drinks are purchased separately, your experience will be more about how you manage your budget than about what’s included.
The Putt-Putt Course: Best for Groups, Friendly for Beginners
The course is described as fun and unique, and it’s designed for a group of four or more. That’s important, because the best bar games aren’t the ones where one person runs the show. This setup is meant for teamwork and shared laughs.
Even if you’re not competitive, the penalty points and rule-based drink outcomes give you structure. You don’t need to invent games. You just play, react, and keep it light.
From the guide feedback, the experience also seems to run well because the tour leaders help keep the energy up. In earlier trips, guides like Jake and Jeremiah were praised for making it fun, rolling with group dynamics, and keeping things safe while still being entertaining.
Price and Value: What $56 Covers, and What It Doesn’t
Let’s break down the money honestly.
Price: $56 per person
Duration: 2 hours
Included: the putt-putt golf tournament
Not included: drinks (you buy them)
That means you’re paying for the activity and the experience mechanics: the game and the tour setup. The drinks are separate, and the average drink price is listed at about $6. In other words, the tour isn’t trying to trick you into thinking it’s a free-drink party. It’s more like a ticket to a guided, game-driven evening.
Is $56 worth it? For many people, yes, because:
- You get two hours of a guided activity, not just a ride.
- You get a structured putt-putt tournament instead of a vague “bar visit.”
- You get golf-cart transport between bars, which can save time and effort.
Your total cost will depend on how many drinks you want and what you order. If you plan to stick with one or two, you’ll likely feel like the tour is a great value. If you plan to go heavy, you’ll want to budget extra in advance.
Guides Matter: Safety, Humor, and Local Direction

A bar crawl lives or dies on the guide. This one has a live guide in English, and the feedback is consistently positive about the guide energy.
Some named examples from past experiences:
- Jake was described as a blast and a lot of fun.
- Jeremiah was praised for humor, being personable, and making the tour feel customized to group dynamics.
- Jeremiah was also credited with knowing Nashville well, recommending drinks, and suggesting good places to eat afterward.
That last point is underrated. A good guide doesn’t just get you around safely; they help you turn the tour into a better night overall. If you want a practical “what next” after the tour ends, this is the kind of outfit you’ll likely appreciate.
Timing, Grouping, and Practical Details That Avoid Headaches
The tour runs for 2 hours. Starting times depend on availability, so you’ll want to check what slots are open around your schedule.
Groups and mixing: groups of four may be grouped with another group of up to six. That’s worth knowing so you’re not surprised if your “just my group” plan turns into a bigger mixed group. The upside is that it often keeps the game lively.
What to bring:
- Passport or an ID card
- Driver’s license
You also need to be mindful of age. Tennessee’s legal drinking age is 21. If you’re under that age, you’ll still need to follow the rules, and you should plan your expectations accordingly.
One more practical request: the tour asks you to provide a valid phone number you can be reached on while traveling. That helps the pickup and coordination stay smooth.
If you like flexibility, the tour offers reserve now & pay later and free cancellation up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund. Those options can matter if you’re juggling Nashville weather or changing dinner plans.
