Overview

Founded 25 years ago by the highly acclaimed York Development team, Canebrake Country Club celebrates family and friendship and offers an elevated, active lifestyle to its Membership. Canebrake Country Club is centered around an 18-hole Jerry Pate designed Golf course and a breathtaking "Brake" of 40-foot tall, majestic Bamboo. The Canebrake Clubhouse overlooks the 18th Green and offers both gourmet and casual dining experiences. Other Club amenities include a large family-centered pool complex, a full-service fitness facility and Shoots Salon and Spa. Additionally, a new state-of-the-art 24 court Tennis and Pickleball Complex opened late 2023 with a new casual dining venue called "Courtside".

Land touches every human being on the planet and land has been the focus of the York Family for over 50 years. With their beginnings rooted in Timberland, the York Team has left its mark and signature on thousands of acres and millions of square feet across nearly every Real Estate sector. Each and every York deal sprung from dirt. Each project represented a blank canvas to create and build beautiful places and spaces for thousands of families to work, shop, store and live. In 1985, Bennett York commenced construction of the award winning "Canebrake." The master-planned community features a 250-acre recreational lake crafted by York from the Mississippi Woodlands. In 1989, Canebrake won Southern Living's "Best Residential Development" award.

Golf

Canebrake is a spectacular and memorable par-71 golf course designed by Jerry Pate that meanders through the undulating Mississippi woodlands. The fairways are wide, and the Champion Dwarf Bermuda grass greens are quick and true.

The front nine features a links-style design traversing through open fairways with generous landing areas. The backside of the course is more of a parkland-style, meandering through towering pine trees. Canebrake is recognized by the Mississippi Golf Association, The Mississippi Women's Golf Association and the USGA as a premier facility. Each of these groups has hosted an event at Canebrake Country Club.
