George Kittle is one of the NFL’s best tight ends, and when he isnāt playing for the San Francisco 49ers, he can be found hitting golf balls in his backyard.
Kittle and his friends have customized his 75 acres of land, adding a golf course to his backyard and other unique amenities.
George Kittleās $940,000 House
Kittle spends his time during the season in the Bay Area, but he spends his offseasons in Nashville. That’s where he bought his home, which has its own fitness center, golf course, and more.
Realtor.com shared that Kittle bought the four-bedroom property in Green Hills for $940,000 in May 2020.
However, what turned heads is what Kittle decided to build on the land.
Kittle Built His Own Backyard Golf Course
Speaking on I Am Athlete, Kittle detailed the golf course that he constructed on his property. He has a 75-acre plot, and the TE is always looking for ways to upgrade his backyard.
āI think it was last year, we were sitting there watching The Masters, and we were like, ‘Let’s go and mow a golf course,’ā Kittle said. āMe and one of my buddies, we mowed everything down to like one inch, put flags up. So I have four par-threes and two par-four golf holes.ā
Kittle and his friends love playing on the homemade golf course. He said it took them three hours to mow the course.
āWeāll go out there and play like three rounds. Six holes, three rounds, 18. We go out there every day after we lift,” Kittle said. “I have golf carts too, so weāll throw a cooler on the back of the cart, and go play 18.ā
There is one issue with Kittleās golf course, though: they donāt putt.
āClosest to the pin is what it is,” Kittle said.

When asked if he had clearance from his wife, Kittle added: āI actually think it was her idea.ā
Kittle and his friends play nearly every day, including a standing game every Friday.
Kittleās Private Workout Facility
Kittle has also built his own workout facility called āThe Barn.ā The Barn is Kittleās custom-built gym. But don’t get it twisted, it is much more than a typical home gym.
āItās a three-story horse barn, and we cleared the whole thing out, poured cement where the dirt was,” Kittle said. “Then, put a bunch of gym mats down. My dad and my father-in-law installed all that stuff.
āThen, Technogym came in and brought treadmills, squat racks, bikes, rowing machines, the whole shebang,” he added.

But wait, there’s more!
āWe then converted the other half of it on the first floor into a kitchen, so we have a chef come out and cook meals for the guys,ā Kittle continued.
āThe third floor, that is fully carpeted, and that’s yoga … the other side, we have PT tables, a massage room, and a physical therapist comes twice a week.”
Kittle posted on Instagram that he’s always wanted to build his own training facility.
“It has been a dream of mine to create my own facility and fill it with positive people who have a desire to be great and hold themselves and others around them to the highest standard,” Kittle wrote. “From the players training, to the high quality food, trainers and coaches that come here everyday to get better. For my dream to flourish I needed access to top tier equipment!
“In came @technogym! The Barn would not have happened without them. They helped us design and build from Day 1 and have been the kindest and smartest partner we could have ever asked for. If you have never used Technogym equipment I highly recommend it. You can feel how thought out every piece of equipment is. We feel so lucky to have our gym stocked with only technology equipment and are excited to continue to grow and train with the company. THANK YOU! Be great today!”
It sounds like Kittle and his friends are living the dream. He mentioned that they are always looking for new ways to customize the property, so we’ll see what the group decides to add next.
