Tunica National Golf & Tennis

What Tunica National Golf & Tennis does

Tunica National Golf & Tennis is a public 18-hole championship golf and tennis facility located at 1 Champions Lane in Tunica Resorts, Mississippi, approximately 30 minutes south of Memphis, Tennessee. The property is owned by the City of Tunica and has been managed by KemperSports since its opening in February 2004. The golf course is a par-72 layout designed by PGA Tour professional Mark McCumber, featuring Champion Bermuda greens, zoysia fairways, six tee markers, and an accompanying practice facility with driving range, putting green, chipping area, bunker, and a short par-3 course. The Tennis Center operates four climate-controlled indoor courts surfaced with Hydro-Grid Har-Tru clay, a configuration the property describes as unique in the Southern United States, with spectator viewing behind Plexiglas from the clubhouse. Supporting amenities include Murphy's Bar & Grill (breakfast, lunch, full bar), the Robinson Conference Room (capacity up to 25), tennis instruction by USPTA-certified professionals, and the Noteefy-powered Virtual Tee Time Assistant launched in 2025.

The business operates multiple revenue streams: per-round golf green fees priced at $60 weekday and $75 weekend/holiday with senior and veteran rates at $45, plus nine-hole and twilight rates at $40; annual golf and tennis passes providing unlimited play and 10-day advance reservation windows; tennis retreat packages bundled with casino hotel stays; golf tournament and corporate event hosting; food and beverage sales; and bundled Stay & Play packages distributed through partnerships with Gold Strike, Horseshoe, Hollywood, and Fitzgerald's casino hotels. Pricing is published on the website (golf green fees, annual passes, tennis packages, and menu items ranging $2-$15), and bookings are taken directly through the website, phone, and on-site. Marketing is conducted through the website, social media channels (Facebook, X, Instagram), an e-Club email newsletter, and a content blog called "Around the Club."

The customer base spans individual public golfers, tennis players, and seniors/veterans using discount rates; corporate groups booking tournaments and meetings; and stay-and-play tourists visiting the broader Tunica casino resort corridor, which attracts 15+ million visitors annually across six casino resorts with 6,300+ hotel rooms. In 2025 the facility received Golfers' Voice Awards recognition at #2 in Player Loyalty and #3 in Course Conditions, reinforcing its positioning as North Mississippi's signature public golf and tennis destination.
