Golf in Jackson

Jackson is the seat of Madison County and the largest city in West Tennessee between Memphis and Nashville, anchoring a regional economy that serves a multi-county area roughly equidistant between the state's two largest metro areas. The city has a genuine music heritage — Carl Perkins recorded 'Blue Suede Shoes' in nearby Memphis but was deeply rooted in Jackson, and the Jackson area is associated with the earliest strains of rockabilly and gospel that shaped American popular music. Jackson's position on Interstate 40 and the convergence of multiple U.S. highways has made it a commercial hub for West Tennessee, with healthcare, manufacturing, and retail serving the surrounding agricultural counties. Golf in Jackson reflects its status as a regional center, with a range of courses drawing from across Madison County and the adjacent rural counties.
