COUNTRY CLUB OF JACKSON
🇺🇸 Jackson, MS, USA
Designed by Dick Wilsoon Lefore, John Fought
The Country Club of Jackson features 27 holes arranged in three nine-hole loops, with the Dogwood and Cypress nines forming one of the primary 18-hole combinations. The course was originally designed by Dick Wilson, a prominent mid-century architect known for his work throughout the southeastern United States, with later renovations by John Fought, who has updated numerous classic American courses while respecting their original design intent.
The layout occupies rolling terrain characteristic of central Mississippi, with mature tree-lined fairways and strategic bunkering that reflects Wilson's emphasis on shot values and course management. The property's natural topography provides variety in hole presentations, with elevation changes that are modest but meaningful in an otherwise relatively flat region. Water features come into play on several holes, typical of courses in this part of Mississippi where natural drainage patterns and constructed ponds shape strategic decisions.
As a private club serving Jackson's golf community, the Country Club of Jackson has hosted regional amateur competitions and serves as a venue for Mississippi Golf Association events. The club maintains traditional country club amenities and a membership that includes business and civic leaders from the Jackson area. The combination of Wilson's original design principles—emphasizing playability for members while maintaining challenge—and Fought's modern updates creates a course that balances historical architecture with contemporary conditioning standards and playing expectations.
