Golf in Tunica Resorts

Tunica Resorts is the gaming district of Tunica County in northwest Mississippi, which transformed from one of the poorest counties in America to a major casino destination after Mississippi legalized riverboat gaming in 1990. Multiple major casino resort properties along the Mississippi River attracted billions in investment and created thousands of jobs, profoundly changing the economic trajectory of one of the nation's most impoverished regions. The casino corridor draws visitors primarily from Memphis and the mid-South, and the resort facilities include golf courses, hotels, and entertainment venues alongside the gaming floors. The casino corridor's significant employment has created a workforce community in Tunica County that has transformed the economic landscape of one of America's historically poorest counties.
