Memphis is the South's most underrated value-golf city, built around a legendary muni system that punches well above its price tag, 7 courses in our catalog, $ pricing, flying in through MEM, best played March through December.
The Memphis Parks muni system (Audubon since 1927, Galloway, Fox Meadows, Davy Crockett, Pine Hill, Overton) is the city's real golf story, 6 affordable city courses with Mirimichi (ex-Timberlake) 15 min north in Millington. TPC Southwind is private despite hosting the FedEx St. Jude Championship.
6 courses
Memphis has 6 courses in Scramble's catalog, anchored by Mirimichi Golf Course, The Links at Audubon, and The Links at Galloway. Mirimichi Golf Course is nationally ranked, a destination-quality round on its own. All three play within a normal trip itinerary out of the same lodging base.
