What are the top public golf courses in Mississippi?

It depends who you ask. In the case of GolfPass' annual Golfers Choice ranking lists, you are the expert, along with thousands of your fellow golfers.

We compile our annual Golfers' Choice lists by analyzing the ratings and reviews submitted by members of our community - golfers like you - throughout the previous year. We use GolfPass' Ratings Index logic that weights newer reviews and combine it with a course's subcategory averages. Courses must offer public access and have received at least one review in 2023 to be eligible for this year's list. If you want to play any of these courses, hover your browser over the course photo and if tee times are available, you can click to book directly.

The 10 best public golf courses in Mississippi

  1. The Grand Bear Golf Course

    Saucier, Mississippi
    Resort
    4.7694358445
    513

    Green fee: $55
    What they're saying: "A buddy and I played Grand Bear on a day where the rain percentage was 70%. Very few people were there, but the weather held up and we thoroughly enjoyed the course. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the course layout was top notch. Par threes were a little longer than I was used to, which added to the challenge, but the course was demanding and rewarding. I plan to play this course again in the future." - Donald4408038

  5. Dancing Rabbit Golf Club - The Azaleas

    Philadelphia, Mississippi
    Resort
    4.8171428571
    26

    Green fee: $70
    What they're saying: "Both courses are spectacular. The Azaleas so beautiful it is justly called, "the Augusta you can play." The Oaks is definitely the more difficult, although both are hard. The greens had recently been aerated and heavily sanded and were thus *super* slow, but the fairways and tees were tip-top. Just from a visionary standpoint, among the two best-looking, remarkable courses I've played." - jjvarney

    Flowood, Mississippi
    Public/Municipal
    4.4358487812
    67

    Green fee: $69
    What they're saying: "Tee boxes were nice with minor level issues. Fairways were in great shape. The fringe is cut tight and crisp around the greens. All the greens on the course were in phenomenal shape and rolled true. This course is FLAT, easy to play if you plot your next shot correctly." - u000006542030
