The former “little course that could” is now the “little course that does” and that little course is nicely nestled in the mainstream golf world. I’ve played this course a handful of times over the past couple years, and in that short timespan it’s blown up. But the staff is as friendly as ever, a friend and I on a whim showed up without a pass, hoping for a slew of cancellations could lead us to a couple loops. Sure enough we got the thumbs up. The course was undoubtedly in perfect condition and every golfer ther, equipped a story with a smile, is completely all in. It makes for an experience like none other. But what I will say, is the greens kicked us hard. Every time I’ve played here, I’ve found a track with more bark than bite. Scary at times but then you walk away with a 2-putt par smiling and praising Rob Collins’ genius. You get a couple bad breaks but more often than not you receive a fair shake. But on this day? No. The greens were souped up to the point of torture. They’ve always been quick, but pleasantly receivable. We tried everything to hold them and nothing working, the combo of heat baked glass and pin placement made it maddening.
So all that to say - the prices are high, the merch is expensive, the extravagant events are for deeper pockets, but the same spirit exists. We caught it this day on extreme conditions, but it’s worth it.
If you’ve never played it - it’s a must. If you haven’t played it in awhile, take a weekday evening loop and soak it in because deep down you know the opportunities to play are going to get fewer and farther between.

The layout was fantastic. Lots of water and trees but somehow they aren’t really in play. The staff was really friendly, it wasn’t busy - told me to hit some range balls and grab the tee when ready.
For the price it can’t be beat cause all the playing conditions were in tip top shape. You can see in some areas where they have to cut corners to keep rates low but it’s worth it. You can tell that when Justin Timberlake owned it, it was the hottest tee time in Memphis. Happy with my 87
