About this course
The Links at Whitehaven occupies land in the southern portion of Memphis, Tennessee, where Kevin Tucker designed a public golf facility that serves the metropolitan area. Tucker, a regional architect active primarily in the Mid-South during the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, worked with the terrain available in this part of Shelby County to create a course accessible to the city's golfing population. The facility operates as a municipal-style venue, providing daily-fee play in a region where public golf options serve a significant role in the local golf economy. The routing works through relatively flat to gently rolling terrain characteristic of the Memphis area, which sits on the Mississippi River's floodplain and associated uplands. The design likely incorporates water features and strategic bunkering to define holes and create challenge on land that does not offer dramatic natural elevation change. Tree-lined corridors and open playing areas would be typical of courses built in this setting, where the designer must manufacture interest through hazard placement, green contouring, and thoughtful hole sequencing. Whitehaven serves golfers from Memphis and surrounding communities, functioning as part of the city's public golf infrastructure. The course provides a venue for recreational play, league competition, and junior programs common to accessible municipal facilities. Its location in the Whitehaven neighborhood places it within reach of a diverse population of golfers seeking affordable options in the greater Memphis area.
