About this course

The Country Club of Jackson operates two eighteen-hole courses, Azalea and Cypress, both designed by John Fought and opened in the early 1990s. Fought, a former U.S. Amateur champion who studied under Robert Trent Jones Jr. before establishing his own practice, brought a modern strategic sensibility to this Mississippi property. The dual-course layout allows the club to host member play across varied terrain while maintaining tournament-ready conditions on either routing. The Azalea and Cypress courses share the rolling topography characteristic of central Mississippi, with elevation changes that provide natural drama and strategic interest. Fought incorporated the native vegetation—including the azaleas and cypress trees that give each course its name—into corridors that frame holes and define playing angles. Water features appear throughout both routings, typical of the region's landscape and Fought's design vocabulary from this period. The courses offer a blend of risk-reward opportunities and demand accuracy from multiple tee positions. The Country Club of Jackson serves as a traditional private club in Mississippi's capital city, with a membership drawn from the Jackson business and professional community. The dual-course setup accommodates a full tournament schedule and active member play throughout the year. The club maintains the courses to standards that support competitive events while preserving Fought's original design intent across both the Azalea and Cypress eighteens.
