Chickasaw State Rustic Park is situated on some of the highest terrain in west Tennessee. Of the area's 14,384 acres of timberland, 1,280 acres are used for recreation. The remainder is state forest managed jointly by the State Forestry Division and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency. The park is located in Chester and Hardeman Counties, 18 miles south of Jackson, Tennessee on State Hwy. 100.

Located near Jackson, and an hour northeast of Memphis, this much anticipated Jack Nicklaus' designed, links-style course rolls along and plays over Piney Creek, assuring that the heavily wooded course will provide a scenic and challenging round. The 7,260 yard, par 72 course has two unique holes. Hole No. 4, a 528 yard, par 5 is a true test of skill, as the second shot must land in a bunker-protected area. Likewise, the 203 yard, No. 14 features a elevated tee box, 30 feet above the green below. This championship course, complemented by 13 welcoming cabins, overlooks the scenic banks of Lake Placid.
