Thinking About Living in TPC Southwind?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands TPC Southwind and the surrounding Memphis golf market.
TPC Southwind, in southeast Memphis, is Tennessee's only private club in the PGA Tour's TPC Network and the state's clearest golf-destination pedigree: it has hosted the FedEx St. Jude Championship, the first event of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, every year since 1989, and hosted the tournament again in August 2026 following a 2024-25 green-complex renovation. For a golf-oriented homebuyer, TPC Southwind functions less as a bundled residential amenity and more as a genuine national golf landmark that happens to sit inside one of Memphis's most recognized gated communities.
The club opened in 1988 and today offers an 18-hole course plus a full practice facility, lighted tennis courts, a swimming pool, fitness center and dining, all operated to TPC Network standards. Membership itself -- Regular Golf, Young Professional, Non-Resident, Corporate and Social categories -- is purchased and applied for separately; TPC Southwind does not publish an official fee schedule, and members also gain reciprocal playing privileges at other TPC Network clubs nationally.
TPC Southwind sits inside Southwind, an unincorporated, gated and guarded community in far southeast Shelby County that is itself regarded as one of Memphis's most prestigious residential addresses, with homes ranging from the $300,000s past $1 million. Buying in Southwind does not include or require TPC Southwind membership -- the two are physically integrated but administratively separate, and a buyer drawn to the address for its tournament pedigree should treat golf access as a distinct, separately priced decision.
Golf & Course
TPC Southwind's 18-hole course has been continuously renovated to keep pace with its role as a PGA Tour Playoffs venue, most recently with a 2024-25 green-complex renovation ahead of the 2026 FedEx St. Jude Championship. The tournament -- known under earlier names including the St. Jude Classic and FedEx St. Jude Classic before the FedEx Cup Playoffs era -- has been played at this course continuously since 1989, one of the longest-running single-venue relationships on the PGA Tour calendar. The course's original architect(s) of record were not confirmed during this research pass.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Homeownership in the surrounding Southwind community does not include or require TPC Southwind membership. Membership is a separate application and purchase, organized into Regular Golf, Young Professional, Non-Resident, Corporate and Social categories, with reported (not officially published) initiation fees ranging roughly $6,000-$30,000 depending on category and monthly dues near $500. One notable member benefit: TPC Southwind members are not assessed for capital improvements to the course or clubhouse. Members also receive reciprocal access to other TPC Network clubs nationally.
Living in TPC Southwind
TPC Southwind sits inside Southwind, an unincorporated, gated and guarded residential area in the far southeast corner of Shelby County, generally considered one of the Memphis area's more prestigious addresses, with no city taxes and homes ranging from the $300,000s to well over $1 million. The relationship between club and community is physical, not administrative -- Southwind residents do not automatically receive club privileges, and TPC Southwind actively markets and sells its memberships to the broader Memphis area, not just to Southwind homeowners.
Lifestyle & Amenities
Beyond golf, TPC Southwind offers lighted tennis courts, a swimming pool, a fitness center and full dining, consistent with the broader TPC Network's country-club-style amenity standard. Its national profile is highest during FedEx St. Jude Championship week each August, when the club and surrounding Southwind community host PGA Tour galleries.
Location & Surrounding Area
TPC Southwind is in far southeast Memphis/unincorporated Shelby County, near the Mississippi state line, roughly 20-25 minutes from downtown Memphis and a similar drive from Memphis International Airport.

What Buyers Should Verify
- Confirm current initiation fee and dues by membership category directly with TPC Southwind -- no official rate sheet is published, and third-party figures conflict ($6,000-$30,000 initiation reported across sources).
- Confirm current membership waitlist status and whether any category is presently capped or closed to new applicants.
- Do not assume a Southwind community address includes or improves access to TPC Southwind membership -- confirm the two are administratively separate before purchasing.
- Confirm the course's original architect(s) and any subsequent redesign credits directly with the club; this was not conclusively sourced this pass.
Notable
