Justin Timberlake’s private Bounty Club is no longer just a whisper on the wind in Whites Creek. New permit filings in Nashville show active work on a clubhouse and a cluster of support buildings near Knight Drive, signaling that the project is finally shifting from concept to concrete. For nearby residents, that likely means more trucks, construction noise and road work in the coming months as the site starts to look a lot less like open land and a lot more like a members-only playground.
According to recent reporting in the Nashville Business Journal, the developer has submitted a series of permits covering key facilities needed ahead of opening. The outlet reviewed public filings that show fresh applications tied to Bounty Club, a project that has attracted extra attention because of Timberlake’s involvement and its low-profile rollout.
What the permits cover
Building-permit records compiled by BuildZoom detail several commercial permits connected to the Bounty Club site, including a 6,665-square-foot first-tee structure listed with a pro shop, full-service restaurant and bar, members’ locker rooms and a caddies’ lounge (permit CACN 2024053338). Earlier permits lay out multiple maintenance and storage buildings along Knight Drive, each valued in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, details that point to a hefty back-of-house buildout being locked in before any member ever tees off.
Project scale and site
As described by 8AM Golf, Bounty Club is planned as an invitation-only, 18-hole private course spread across roughly 464 acres, set about 12 minutes from downtown Nashville. The developer pitches the property as a high-end, low-key golf and hospitality escape, with elevated viewpoints and a substantial clubhouse at its core, a vision that lines up neatly with the clubhouse and support facilities now showing up in Nashville’s permit logs.
Where approvals stand
Public Metro Council and permitting records reference Bounty Club as a phased project in recent planning materials, including local Legistar entries that touch on access and infrastructure work. Metro Legistar documents include zoning and infrastructure items linked to the site, underscoring that the city is processing required approvals while construction ramps up.
The project page from 8AM Golf lists a 2026 opening window for Bounty Club, and the wave of recent permits fits with a team racing to have its core facilities ready in that timeframe. For anyone watching from the neighborhood or cruising Knight Drive, the next tangible signs will likely come in the form of more posted permits and active work around the future clubhouse and service buildings…
