Spring Creek Ranch

Spring Creek Ranch in Collierville, Tennessee, features two eighteen-hole layouts designed by Jack Nicklaus, known as the Ranch and Creek courses. The facility opened in the late 1990s as part of a residential golf community in the Memphis metropolitan area. Nicklaus, who designed numerous courses across the United States during this period, brought his characteristic approach to course architecture: strategic bunkering, large undulating greens, and risk-reward opportunities that challenge players at multiple skill levels. The property sits in the rolling terrain of western Tennessee, where the courses take advantage of natural elevation changes and wooded corridors. Water features appear throughout both layouts, with creeks and ponds influencing play on several holes. The Ranch and Creek nines can be combined in different configurations, allowing variety in the routing. Fairways are typically framed by mature trees, and the design emphasizes accuracy off the tee while providing options for course management. Spring Creek Ranch operates as a private club serving the Collierville community, which lies southeast of Memphis. The club offers traditional country club amenities including dining facilities and practice areas. The courses reflect the style of upscale residential golf development common to the region during the 1990s expansion of golf in the Mid-South, with homes integrated into the layout and maintained conditions suited to year-round play in the Tennessee climate.
