Mirimichi Golf Course

It was slow play because of the heat and a walker in the foursome ahead of us.

Played on 6/10. Mirimichi is a fantastic layout. A great course. Wonderful holes and very challenging. Great natural and man made features. The conditioning is average to slightly above average. The driving range is pretty bad. The greens were decent. If this course raised its conditioning a notch or two it would be a premiere golf course. I think when Justin Timberlake bought the course and dumped a ton of money into it, it must have awesome. A decade later (well after he sold) its getting a little tired and rough around the edges. This is definitely a must play and is very reasonably priced. It would be an easy five stars if the course was in a touch better shape.

Had high hopes for a truly amazing experience but was slightly underwhelmed by the average conditions at Mirimichi. Overall a very good but not great course. Had a blast playing there, though!

The free range balls are a nice touch but the balls were really beat up and need to be replaced. The putting green had 50-75 balls scattered all over, and we had to be clear them off before warming up.

I’d suggest playing tees shorter than usual as the course is quite difficult. Lots of exacting shots and forced carries need to be executed.

The place was quiet and had a great vibe. The greens were in excellent shape. They are relatively easy to hit as they are gigantic. The green on 10 is skinny but is the longest I have ever seen. All the par 3s are interesting with great visual surroundings.

On a downside, the fairways weren’t great and many areas near the sides were in terrible shape. No grass and just hard-packed dried mud.

There was hardly anyone on the course, which was great, so we played in about 3:30. Plus, it is kind of in the middle of nowhere.

After Justin Timberlake sold the course, seems the owner has let the conditions slide just a bit. I will happily suggest it to anyone and would play it again if I am in the Memphis area.

When Timberlake opened this course, it was a Jewel! I ranked it by far the Best Public Course you could have possibly hoped to play on.Sadly, those days are gone with the new owner. Since being sold to Fred Edmaiston in 2014, the couse has gone through massive neglect and negative changes.

The Driving range use to be something you would see at a PGA Tournament. It looks like a waste land now. Uncut, weeds everywhere out on the range. The Pin Flag are leaning, some barley standing.

Azaleas and Ornamentals use to shower along the entire course. All trees had pine needles to cover hard pan. This true no longer.

The Course use to employ as many as 5 PGA Pro Instructors. Some of them, the best in the business. Now there are none?
Handfuls of Directors Of Golf/ General Managers have been hired, with ALL being fired or quit. High turnover has been constant with this new owner.

Miramichi even use to have catered dinners on Friday evenings with live entertainment on the beautiful outdoor patio overlookingthe 9th & 18th Greens. Again, this is a thing of the past. The Patio remains empty and unused fo the most part.

It is truly sad to watch what use to be a golf Icon wither away. It will not be much longer I fear.

Brought my friends for their first time there and they love it!

Fairways are in good shape and the Green are rolling True!!!

I am such a huge fan of Mirimichi. The course layout is one of the most fun in the Memphis area. The staff is always friendly and the patio is just amazing for those after mid-round/post-round drinks. You even forget where you are. Very little houses can be seen from the course which make it a nice little get away. I highly recommend.

I have looked forward to playing this course for 5+ years and finally pulled the trigger. From the layout to the sheer private club atmosphere, this place is hard to beat. I have played a lot of public and private courses in the North Mississippi/ Memphis area including TPC Southwind, and Mirimichi ranks among the top of my list. 10/10 recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing course that will challenge you if you choose a further back tee box.

Fairways are rock hard. My photos are too large to upload, otherwise I would publish them on here but it is just sad to see this place going downhill after Timberlake sold it after he improved it.

very nice course but the Memphis area needs warmer weather for growth

Greens are very receptive and fairways are still dormant

This is a beautiful course and I will definitely come back, it was off season when we played so the course conditions were not perfect, but it was still a great round of golf. The only downside was the snack bar, all of the snacks and drinks were expired. Likely a COVID side effect.

The course was in good shape considering the recent cold weather. I cant wait for warm weather to get here to play my favorite course again....Mirimichi !!!!!!
