Course Report
In 1945, Byron Nelson's legendary 11-tournament PGA win streak ended at Chickasaw, making this course part of golf history.
About
Chickasaw Country Club is a classic, private southern club established in 1922 in Memphis, Tennessee. The 18-hole course, designed by William Langford and restored in 2018 by Bill Bergin, features TiffEagle Bermuda greens and a strategic parkland routing known for playability and challenge, blending historical character with contemporary updates to serve all levels of golfers.
Caddie Tip
The classic parkland layout places a premium on accurate approach shots to contoured greens and smart club selection. Many greens are elevated with strategic bunkering, so aim for the center of the green and be alert for subtle breaks. Course knowledge is valuable on several dogleg par 4s and approach angles matter coming into the finishing stretch.
The Main Challenge
The greatest challenge at Chickasaw Country Club lies in the approach shots to small, well-protected, and often elevated greens. Strategic bunkering and mature tree lines demand precise tee shots and careful club selection throughout the round. The finishing holes, especially the back nine, require strong course management and a steady touch on undulating greens.
The Good
Golfers praise the club's blend of heritage and recent renovation. The course delivers strategic challenge across all holes with classic William Langford design features. The club's quiet, tree-lined ambiance, and high standard of maintenance create a relaxing yet competitive golfing environment well-regarded within the Memphis region.
The Not So Good
Some players mention that increased play during peak membership periods can lead to modest pace-of-play issues, especially in the afternoons. There have also been occasional requests for bunker condition improvements and additional on-course rest stations or shade during hotter months.
