Memphis National Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the signature challenge at Memphis National, and which hole really tests your game?

Memphis National truly shines with its demanding par-3s, often guarded by water or deep bunkers. Keep an eye on the 17th - a long par-3 over water to a narrow green - it's a real card-wrecker if you're not precise.

When's the best time of year to experience Memphis National at its prime?

We always recommend visiting in early spring or late fall. The weather is fantastic, the Bermuda greens are rolling true, and you'll avoid the intense summer heat that can make those back nine holes feel like a marathon.

Is Memphis National a good value for the green fees, and what should I expect?

Absolutely, Memphis National offers solid value for a public course of its caliber. You're paying for consistently well-maintained fairways and greens, plus a layout that feels much more upscale than its price tag suggests - a true local gem.

How are the course conditions typically at Memphis National, especially the greens?

You'll generally find Memphis National in excellent shape, especially the fairways which are usually lush and forgiving. The greens are typically fast and firm, so be prepared for some challenging putts, particularly on the back nine's undulating surfaces.

What's a key strategy or local tip for playing Memphis National effectively?

Patience is your best friend here, especially off the tee. Many holes reward strategic layups over bombing it, particularly on the tighter front nine where accuracy trumps distance - don't get greedy around the doglegs.
