Tennessee River Golf Club Boosts Recreation and Tourism in Decatur County
Tennessee River Golf Club, an 18 hole public course near the Tennessee River in the Decaturville area, serves as a key recreational asset for residents and a draw for golfers across West Tennessee. The facility complements river based tourism, supports nearby small businesses, and helps diversify the county visitor economy especially during peak seasons.

Tennessee River Golf Club, also called Tennessee River Golf Course, anchors a growing mix of outdoor recreation offerings in Decatur County. The 18 hole public course sits near the Tennessee River in the Riverview and Decaturville area and is notable for hilly terrain, tree lined fairways and water that comes into play on multiple holes. The course features bent grass greens and Bermuda fairways and provides a full set of services including a pro shop, snack bar, driving range and a clubhouse with basic services.
Local outings and events are a regular part of the course calendar, and the facility markets tee times and event support through local visitor and chamber pages. Those listings also provide contact information and current hours, and advise prospective visitors to check tee time procedures before traveling. Many golfers combine a round at Tennessee River Golf Club with river boating and stops at nearby marinas and restaurants. Establishments such as Mermaid and Tennessee River Marina commonly appear on visitor routes, reinforcing the link between the golf course and river based businesses.
From an economic perspective the golf course plays a practical role in diversifying Decatur County's visitor economy. By pairing with marinas, campgrounds and boat ramps, the course extends the stay and spending of visitors who otherwise might only come for boating. That incremental spending helps support restaurants, marinas and lodging providers, and the facility itself sustains local employment related to maintenance, pro shop operations and event management. For residents the course supplies a year round recreational amenity and a venue for community events.
Policy makers and local business leaders can treat the course as a strategic asset when planning tourism promotion and infrastructure investments. Basic, trackable metrics would include rounds played, event bookings, and linked spending at nearby businesses. Tracking seasonal patterns could identify opportunities to expand shoulder season activity through combined golf and river packages or targeted marketing to West Tennessee golfers who already visit the area.
For visitors planning a trip, the Decatur County Chamber of Commerce and county attractions pages list the Tennessee River Golf Club and provide up to date contact details and visitor information. As Decatur County continues to position itself as a scenic river and outdoor recreation destination, the golf course will remain an important contributor to local quality of life and the wider visitor economy.
