Spring Creek Ranch is one of the Memphis area's most celebrated public courses, a Rees Jones design that opened in 2000 and quickly established itself as a serious test of parkland golf in the mid-South. Jones shaped the layout through the rolling, wooded terrain of Shelby County, producing a course that rewards strategic thinking over pure power — generous enough off the tee in places, but unforgiving around the greens, where precise approach play matters most.
Collierville sits on Memphis's eastern fringe, a prosperous suburb that has grown considerably since the course opened, though the land itself retains a genuine sense of Tennessee countryside. Hardwoods frame most fairways, and the course plays differently through the seasons — open and exposed in winter, dramatically green and enclosed by late spring.
Spring Creek Ranch has drawn strong regional buzz since its debut and consistently ranks among the top public-access layouts in Tennessee. For golfers visiting the greater Memphis area looking for something beyond a resort round, this is a course worth planning a trip around.
