Overview

The Ron Prichard design (with consultation from Hubert Green and Fuzzy Zoeller) has hosted an event on the PGA Tour since 1989, and starting in 2022, it hosts one of the premier events on the PGA Tour schedule, the first leg of the FedEx Cup playoffs. Located about a half hour from downtown Memphis on an old dairy farm, TPC Southwind holds its own against the best players in the game with water coming into play on 11 holes. The par-3 11th hole is perhaps the course's signature hole, featuring a peninsula green that requires a short iron, similar to the 17th at TPC Sawgrass' Stadium course. The hole will be memorable for anyone who watched the 2022 FedEx St. Jude Championship, when Will Zalatoris' tee shot ended up staying dry and wedging itself between the grass, in his playoff victory over Sepp Straka.

“Good conditioning but the front 9 is routed through an office park. The back through a housing development. Some solid holes though."

“I don't remember a single hole on the course other than 18 and I played the course recently. As blah as blah can get for a PGA tournament course."

“Very challenging championship golf course with a variety of golf holes on a well-manicured course. FedEx St.Jude PGA Tour event played here makes the ambience unique and a great experience."
