Sunkist Country Club
I thought the course was fine. What I expected. Driving range, chipping area, putting green. Pace of play was fine. Members I encountered were friendly. I would play it again.
Nice course, friendly people.
Despite drought conditions, the course was extremely playable. Greens rolled true. Would love to play again.
Cruising the course.
Took a break from cruisin’ and had a great round of golf.
Great course when traveling
The friendliest staff, blown away by the great attitude and customer service. The value was spot on they accommodated our family group of 5.
Punched Greens
Great day of golf. Played with a guy who worked at the course. Very friendly and proud of his course. The greens were punched a few days back and the greens were a little bumpy
Great course, great value
Super friendly staff. Well maintained fairways and greens. If you're visiting Gulfport/Biloxi I highly recommend this course.
Nice course but a little tight.
We enjoyed our round. Course was in good condition except for Tee boxes on the par 3’s. Temporary artificial surface due to refurbishing. Green we’re challenging with some inconsistencies.
Course friendly
Even though course was busy pace of play was great
Nice course
Played here on vacation, conditions were good, only complaint was some of the tee boxes on the par 3s were not where they were showed on the yardage book and were much closer in the 70-100 yard range. For it being a beautiful and busy Friday, the pace of play was steady, it backed up a little at the turn, but then kept moving, and I didn’t feel rushed like some other courses. Staff was super friendly as well. I’d play here again for sure!
Greens are Nice but Green Fee Seems High for Overall Condition
Played Sunkist in early March so giving the overall rating some latitude. But in my opinion, $35-$40 green fee seems more reasonable considering the conditions. However, in reviewing green fees on Golf Now, Biloxi seems high overall. Holes are "squeezed" into allotted property, and one must be very careful about errant tee shots.
