TUNICA, Mississippi (May 31, 2007)—Tunica National Golf and Tennis is pleased to announce Kim Pettigrew as the new Food and Beverage Director. She will oversee Murphy’s Grill restaurant and bar.

“I love interacting with the customers, and the staff is great to work with at Tunica National,” said. “Murphy’s Grill’s variety and quality makes it a very popular place to dine in Tunica.”
Murphy’s Grill is a full-service restaurant that has a lunch and dinner menu available seven days a week. During the spring, summer and fall months, there is a lunch buffet that is also served daily.

About Tunica National
Located on U.S. Highway 61 North in Tunica, Tunica National features an 18-hole Mark McCumber-designed public golf course, six-hole par-3 practice course, 20,000-square-foot clubhouse, circular driving range, and Golf Training Academy. The four indoor tennis courts are the only Hydro-Grid Har-Tru indoor clay courts south of Washington, D.C. Har-Tru’s granular surface acts as a shock-absorbing cushion, allowing players to slide into their shots, preventing joint-jarring stops. One of the most impressive aspects of the technology is the sub-surface irrigation and the ability to control humidity indoors. Tunica National is managed by KemperSports.
