Mirimichi

Mirimichi is about the harmony between golf, people and nature. World-class greens amidst nature's playground of towering trees, natural grassland, rugged elevations and meandering creeks. Mirimichi will be maintained at the peak of efficiency and with state of the art environmentally friendly
practices– providing a sanctuary for western Tennessee plants and wildlife and a natural filter for cleaning storm water.
