About this course

Tunica National stands as a testament to a vision: to bring championship-caliber golf to the heart of the Mississippi Delta. The course, routed across the flatlands of Tunica Resorts, presents a unique challenge, an inland links-style layout where wind and strategic bunkering are the primary defenses. Expect firm, fast conditions, requiring creative shot-making and a keen understanding of ground contours. Designed by Mark McCumber, the course offers a deceptively demanding test. While appearing open from the tee, subtle undulations and strategically placed water hazards force players to carefully consider their approach. A course that favors the thoughtful player over the brute striker, Tunica National rewards strategic play. The fairways are ample but the greens are deceptively quick and undulating. While not hosting a major professional event, Tunica National holds a respected place in the region's golfing landscape. It offers a stern but fair test for golfers of all abilities, making it a popular destination for local players and visitors alike. A comfortable club house and friendly staff also make it a popular destination for locals. And for those familiar with the region, the chance to experience a challenging round followed by authentic southern hospitality is always a strong draw.

Getting there

Tunica National Golf and Tennis is most readily accessed via Memphis International Airport (MEM), situated approximately 30 miles north across the Mississippi state line, a straightforward 45-minute drive south through the flat, fertile Delta landscape. Private aviation clients benefit from proximity to several regional facilities, including Tunica Municipal Airport (PIB), which sits just minutes from the resort and offers a discreet alternative for those traveling by charter. The final stretch into Tunica Resorts unfolds along US Highway 61, a historic corridor that transitions from Memphis's urban periphery into the quieter rhythm of the Mississippi River valley, where the manicured grounds and championship courses of Tunica National emerge as an oasis of refined leisure amid the region's distinctive terrain.
