Tunica National Golf and Tennis Swings Prices Even Lower for August

TUNICA, Mississippi (July 27, 2007)—Tunica National Golf and Tennis, one of the best public golf courses in the Southeast, is offering historically low rates for August. 

The specials for August, including all green and cart fees, are:

  • $48.00 on Fridays
  • $40.00 before noon on Sundays
  • $27.00 Monday-Thursday for senior citizens (60+)
  • $37.00 Friday-Sunday for senior citizens  

“We are offering these incredible specials because in our four years since we opened, the golf course is in the best shape it’s ever been,” Bob Wolcott, general manager of Tunica National Golf and Tennis, said.  “We want to allow all golfers the opportunity to play our award- winning 18-hole Mark McCumber-designed public golf course.”
 
When taking advantage of these great August rates, don’t forget to join the Champion’s Club for even more savings.  For $40.00, golfers and tennis players can enjoy additional discounts and a free hat at Tunica National by getting a Champion’s Club card that provides golf, tennis, food, and merchandise discounts year-round.

Tunica National also offers the South’s only Hydro-Grid indoor clay tennis courts.  Call for seasonal discounted rates.

Other great year-round activities include weekly three-man golf scrambles on Thursday nights, couples golf scrambles on Friday nights, Monday and Wednesday cardio tennis classes, and ladies doubles leagues on Tuesday and Wednesday nights.

Located on U.S. Highway 61 North in Tunica, Tunica National features an 18-hole Mark McCumber-designed public golf course, six-hole par-3 practice course, 20,000-square-foot clubhouse, circular driving range, and Golf Training Academy.  The four indoor tennis courts are one of three facilities in the U.S. that have Hydro-Grid Har-Tru indoor clay courts.  Har-Tru’s granular surface acts as a shock-absorbing cushion, allowing players to slide into their shots, preventing joint-jarring stops.  One of the most impressive aspects of the technology is the sub-surface irrigation and the ability to control humidity indoors.  Tunica National is managed by KemperSports.  For additional information and services provided by Tunica National, call 662-357-0777. 

Northbrook, Ill.-based KemperSports operates golf facilities as well as athletic clubs, lodging venues and major sporting events, including nationally ranked courses and tournament venues such as Bandon Dunes Golf Resort, Dorado Beach Resort & Club, The Glen Club, Gillette Ridge, Harding Park, Bolingbrook Golf Club, and Desert Willow.  For more information, visit www.kempersports.com.
