Belle Meade Links

Belle Meade Links, more properly known as the Belle Meade Golf Links Historic District (or Belle Meade Links subdivision), in Nashville, Tennessee, USA, is one of the city's most historically significant residential enclaves. The neighborhood of 149 properties, characterized by curved streets, small parks, and Tudor Revival cottages, began in 1915 as one of the earliest subdivisions arising from the dissolution of the vast Belle Meade Plantation. It is an example of early 20th century “planned suburb” design. The neighborhood remains one of Nashville's few surviving examples of subdivision planning influenced by the Garden City Movement, a planning philosophy first outlined by Ebenezer Howard in his 1902 book Garden Cities of To-Morrow. The neighborhood was officially placed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 7, 2004.
