It’s hard to believe, but spring is already here. In 2020, seasons and months hardly seemed real or relevant—and time just sort of trudged on. But once spring arrived, we could finally look forward to getting outdoors. Put away your trendy loungewear and forget your plans to eat cereal for all three meals—it’s a new year and time to put those resolutions to good use! Spring is coming and Dickson County has outdoor activities for new health resolutions of all ambitions. 

Things To Do in Dickson County

The disc golf course at Dickson’s Buckner Park is great fun for everyone. If you’re new to the sport, rest assured it’s exactly what is sounds like: golf but with a frisbee instead of a ball and a basket instead of a hole in the ground. This gold-level course is in beautiful Buckner Park and meanders through scenic woods and open fields. 

If you’re a golf purist, there’s something for you as well in Dickson County. The Montgomery Bell golf course features rolling hills and, if you’re lucky, wildlife sightings such as deer, geese, and wild turkey. Extend your visit and stay at the lodge, which sits on Lake Acorn. Enjoy kayaking, hiking trails, the outdoor pool, and craft beers in the lounge (hello, happy hour!). Another option is GreyStone Golf Club, a gorgeous course designed by Mark McCumber, a PGA Tour pro.
