Mirimichi Golf Course owners Justin Timberlake and his family Lynn and Paul Harless, are committed to ensuring that the golf course sets a positive example for environmental stewardship in Tennessee. Proud of his Tennessee heritage, Timberlake is committed to supporting the state’s environment and wildlife habitats, while encouraging other businesses, golf courses, recreation facilities and individuals to do the same. The family’s multi-million dollar investment in Mirimichi demonstrates their strong commitment to Tennessee’s environment. A focus on green, sustainable management has been a consistent priority, resulting in being named the first golf course in the U.S. to be certified by the Audubon International Classic Sanctuary program. It also serves as the premier course in all of North, South or Central America to be certified by the Golf Environment Organization, which the course received in 2010. Mirimichi is the only golf course in the world to achieve both of these prestigious designations.

Native grass areas, natural waste bunkers and enhanced water features reduce the manicured acreage on Mirimichi from more than 200 acres to under 90 acres – minimizing the need for fertilization and irrigation. State-of-the-art irrigation and underground drainage systems maximize the efficiency of water usage and reduce soil erosion, while re-circulating water throughout the course. Grassy buffer zones, wetlands areas and aquatic water plants all provide filtration to keep state waterways clean.

Mirimichi is a golf destination that welcomes golfers, speaks to their spirit and brings players in harmony with nature. Deep-pit bunkers, elevated greens, seven pristine lakes and several waterfalls and creeks all provide more than 7,400 yards of championship-level, environmentally friendly golf.
