Mirimichi Golf Course (Championship)

Deep bunkers, raised greens and wandering creeks all contribute to the challenge of the Championship golf course at Mirimichi. Justin Timberlake bought the layout when it was known as Big Creek Golf Course in 2009, spending a reputed $15 million on the property before selling it to a Memphis businessman for half a million dollars five years later.

William Mitchell laid out the original course in 1965 but this was completely redesigned by Bill Bergin after it was acquired by singer/songwriter/actor (and big golf fan) Timberlake. Fairways now weave around six lakes and a couple of wandering streams on a partly-open, partly-tree-lined property.

Highlight holes on the outward half include the 225-yard 3rd (“Nayu/sand”) and 452-yard 5th (“Agaliha/sunshine”), with big forced carries over large, sandy waste areas. On the back nine, the 453-yard 16th (Niladyyi/creek”) is rated the toughest hole on the card, featuring a serpentine stream that runs the full length of the fairway along the left side.
