As avid golfers strive to find more value-laden trips, Mississippi golf continues to climb the list of those searching for quality and fun on the links. Fun times off the course are also a specialty in Mississippi. Casino resorts, sprinkled throughout the state, provide high energy entertainment; music trails boast of the state’s musical heritage; many waterways provide boating and fishing opportunities; and restaurants serve up a variety of experiences, from fine-dining to family style meals. With a temperate climate that offers near perfect golf weather year round, Mississippi can accommodate the needs and budgets of all kinds of golf groups. Over 140 courses dot the landscape of the Magnolia State and come designed by some of the most prominent names in golf—Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Jerry Pate, Tom Fazio, Davis Love III and Bob Cupp, just to name a few. This ensures that Mississippi offers something for the casual player and professional alike. And in fact, Mississippi hosts two professional events - the PGA TOUR’s Sanderson Farms Championship at the Country Club of Jackson each fall and the Champions Tour’s Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic at the Beau Rivage’s Fallen Oak in Biloxi each spring. Plus amateur golfers get the royal treatment at highly organized Golf & Blues Events. The dates and locations can be found on VisitMississippi.org. 6 A NOTE ABOUT THE REGIONS Five distinct regions offer Mississippi golf courses designed to fit the natural lay of the land.

Delta REGION River Bend Links Golf Course, Tunica Resorts The Mississippi Delta Region is remarkably flat and contains some of the most fertile soil in the world, as evidenced by the verdant green fairways of its exciting golf courses. It was also fertile ground for the cultivation of America’s only indigenous art form, as the “Birthplace of the Blues.” And although most of the golf and high-energy entertainment is centered around Tunica, just south is the state’s blues mecca in the small town of Clarksdale. It’s the home of the historic Delta Blues Museum, Morgan Freeman’s famous Ground Zero Blues Club and many Mississippi Blues Trail markers. A new wave of entertainment has transformed the Tunica area into one of the top entertainment venues in the country. The glitz and glitter of casino gaming has given a new generation of music lovers yet another reason to visit. Tunica’s eight casinos offer a vast assortment of gaming options including over 300 table games and more than 12,000 slots. If all that wasn’t enough, two truly top-notch golf courses in Tunica add yet another reason to pack your bags and head to The Delta region of Mississippi. They are Tunica National, a Mark McCumber design, featuring rolling terrain, wide fairways, generous greens and unspoiled natural surroundings, and River Bend Links, Clyde Johnston’s self described “field of dunes.” The Mississippi Delta is small river towns, juke joints, exciting casino gaming, championship golf and unmatched Southern hospitality, all at a great value and an easy drive from Southern and Midwestern states. The Delta was also fertile ground for the cultivation of America’s only indigenous art form, as the “Birthplace of the Blues.” 16 Tunica National Golf & Tennis, Tunica Resorts 17 DELTA REGION GOLF COURSES CITY / GOLF COURSE PHONE / WEBSITE TYPE HOLES YDG RTG SLP PAR FEE BENTON (662) 673-9881 P 9 3,190 35.1 114 36 $$ Clarksdale Country Club 905 Friars Point Rd., 38614 (662) 624-8962 clarksdalecountryclub.net P 18 6,568 71.3 118 71 $$ Coahoma Country Club 1980 Davenport Rd., 38614 (662) 624-9484 SP 9 3,064 $$ Cleveland Country Club 601 Fayette Davis Ave., 38732 (662) 843-3456 clevelandcc.org P 18 6,455 68.2 122 72 $$$ Delta State University Golf Club Highway 8 West, 38732 (662) 846-4585 deltastate.edu PU 9 3,086 34.7 119 36 $$ P 18 6,685 71.6 120 72 $$ (662) 332-4079 PU 18 6,530 70.8 114 72 $$ (662) 453-3414 P 18 6,296 69.8 116 72 $$ (662) 887-3832 P 9 2,993 34.9 120 36 $ (662) 686-4611 P 9 3,170 - - 36 $$ (662) 834-4029 P 9 2,525 - - 35 $ (662) 247-3141 P 9 3,165 - - 36 $$ River Bend Links Golf Course 1205 Nine Lakes Dr., 38664 (662) 363-1005 riverbendlinks.com R 18 6,923 72.6 128 72 $$ Tunica National Golf & Tennis 1 Champions Ln., 38664 (662) 357-0777, Ext. 0 tunicanational.com PU 18 7,240 73.2 126 72 $$$ P 9 3,044 34.5 112 36 Benton Country Club Highway 433, 39039 CLARKSDALE - - 36 CLEVELAND GREENVILLE Greenville Golf & Country Club 2476 Highway 1 South, 38701 Greenville Municipal Golf Course 465 Deer Creek Rd., 38703 (662) 332-7210 greenvillegolfandcountryclub.com GREENWOOD Greenwood Country Club 951 Highway 430 South, 38930 INDIANOLA Indianola Country Club Old Greenville Rd., 38751 LELAND Deer Creek Town & Racquet Club 500 Racquet Club Rd., 38756 LEXINGTON Holmes County Country Club 1096 Old Wire Rd., 39095 SILVER CITY Humphreys County Country Club 210 Campbell Ave., 39166 TUNICA RESORTS YAZOO CITY Yazoo Country Club 2300 Jerry Clower Blvd., 39194 (662) 746-4441 yazoocc.com $$ Golf courses are listed alphabetically by city.

Golf layouts range from wide, open flatlands to tight, waterladen fairways. The region’s musical legacy is as diverse as its golf, with blues, rock ’n’ roll and jazz flourishing here. Jackson played an important roll in the development of Mississippi’s musical contributions with several record companies based here in the 1950’s. The metro area plays host to some of the top players on the PGA TOUR each fall at the Sanderson Farms Championship. It’s played at the Country Club of Jackson. The Refuge, a strategic 18-hole championship course measures 6,635 yards from the tips. It’s located close to the Jackson-Evers International Airport, so a round before takeoff can be a great ending to any visit to the capital city. Rolling terrain, large undulating greens, and gorgeous scenery are found at Quail Hollow at Percy Quin State Park, located an hour south of Jackson in McComb. Quail Hollow was designed by well-known architect Arthur Hills and has been consistently rated a prestigious 4 stars by Golf Digest’s Places to Play. Golf villas are available at the state park, providing modern amenities and a convenient place to stay next to the golf course. Natchez is home to two exciting courses. Beau Pré Country Club is situated on the banks of Second Creek and features a 90-foot clay bluff and rolling terrain; and Duncan Park, a traditional style course built near the historic downtown in 1928, boasts huge oak trees dripping with Spanish moss. History abounds in the Capital/River Region.

Take advantage of the uncrowded atmosphere, affordable packages, and superb accommodations. Enjoy the spectacular scenery. And be sure to live the local life after the 18th… from world-class casinos and fine dining to historic inns and good old Southern cooking… from music’s roots and live entertainment to museums and charter fishing or boating. It’s all in Mississippi for your enjoyment. As the “Birthplace of America’s Music,” Mississippi’s musical landscape is much like the golf scene. It’s exciting and varied and reflects regional influences. The creation of the Mississippi Blues Trail a few years ago began the story and with the addition of the Country Music Trail the picture is becoming clearer. Mississippi has been instrumental in, not only the birth, but also the growth and popularity of musical genres such as blues, country and, of course, rock and roll, thanks to its most famous musical son, Elvis Presley. And these musical styles are truly American-made. The song lyrics boast of our history and the beats and rhythms reflect our diverse heritage. The Mississippi Blues Trail takes visitors on a musical journey through the state to sites honoring B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Son House and more. Much like the Mississippi Blues Trail, which now features over 180 markers, the Mississippi Country Music Trail celebrates Mississippi's rich heritage of country music legends and chart toppers, such as "The Father of Country Music," Jimmie Rodgers, Marty Stuart, Charley Pride, Conway Twitty and Faith Hill. Live music can be sampled almost every night of the week at a variety of locations throughout the state, such as Hal and Mal’s in Jackson, Ground Zero Blues Club in Clarksdale, Proud Larry’s in Oxford, and Hard Rock Casino in Biloxi. As one of the largest casino destinations in the country, Mississippi offers gaming excitement throughout the state. Celebrity entertainers, gourmet Live music can be sampled almost every night of the week at a variety of locations throughout the state. 42 dining, luxury accommodations and spas turn Mississippi's casino resorts into memorable, fun-filled vacations, conventions and reunions. With easy access to golf courses, waterways and shopping, you can check into a single casino hotel and enjoy a diverse and fun-filled getaway. Beyond the music and entertainment in Mississippi, there’s the food. The state’s cuisine defies categorization. And, in some cases, it defies imagination. From catfish to Comeback sauce, from tamales to traditional Southern sweets, from shrimp to slugburgers to sweet potatoes, Mississippi's culinary heritage has food to please every palate. The Magnolia State is home to James Beard award-winning chefs and noted national food writers, as well as some of the best home cooks and outof-the way diners to be found anywhere. Food and entertainment are a big part of the draw to Mississippi. And although visitors may initially come for the great golf, they come back for the taste of our southern cuisine, the glamour of our world-class casinos, and the intrigue of our deep, musical roots. Well, that and to play another round, of course. The Magnolia State is home to James Beard award-winning chefs and noted national food writers, as well as some of the best home cooks and out-of-the way diners to be found anywhere. 43 GOLFERS’ PICKS IN THE HILLS REGION CORINTH (662) 287-8300 CORINTH.NET Attractions Black History Museum of Corinth (662) 665-8500 corinth.net/museumsculture.htm The museum displays memorabilia and artifacts relating to the history of Corinth’s African American residents.
