Sanderson Farms Championship 2025 Location
The Sanderson Farms Golf Tournament 2025 will be held at The Country Club of Jackson, located in the northeast part of Jackson, Mississippi, USA. This is a private club with a 27-hole facility but the championship course is the Dogwood and Azalea nines. This par-72 course is a classic “parkland” design with narrow fairways, strategically placed bunkers and tricky greens that test every shot.
Water only comes into play on about 5 holes so the main challenges are in the fairway bunkers and accuracy off the tee. The greens are small and fast and the rough is thick Bermuda grass making recovery shots even tougher.
In warm and humid weather of tournament, wear lightweight, moisture-wicking golf polos. For mornings or evenings a light midlayer or quarter zip pullover is important and a packable waterproof jacket is best for sudden rain. A golf cap or bucket hat, sunglasses and breathable gloves will protect from sun and humidity.
