Starkville Country Club is an 18-hole, par-72 golf course located in Starkville, Mississippi. Originally designed as a nine-hole course in 1968, it was expanded to its current 18-hole layout in 1990, measuring 6,560 yards from the back tees. The course features five sets of tees to accommodate golfers of all skill levels. The layout winds through a landscape of mature pine and oak trees, creating a scenic woodland setting. Water hazards strategically placed on nine holes add to the course's challenge and character. The greens are maintained with TifEagle grass, emphasizing precision play. Each hole is individually designed to present its own distinct challenge while rewarding skillful shot-making. The course is classified as both beautiful and challenging, offering a balanced test of golf for its membership. Beyond golf, the club provides comprehensive amenities including tennis courts, a swimming pool, and dining facilities, positioning it as a full-service country club rather than a golf-only venue.
