Excellent course, but….
Played here several times and thoroughly enjoy the challenge of rolling fairways and sloping greens. Great course kept in super condition this winter. Only issue is pace. Went off 130 on a Friday and soon encountered multiple fivesomes on the course. Apparently the members have a regular and ridiculous pseudo tournament on Friday afternoon. Gridlocked the back nine, finishing in the dark on 18.
Very enjoyable 18 holes
Extremely nice course- played 18 with wife- needs overall course layout/ map for visitors like us- will definitely be back- by the way, the on site restaurant had a tasty and reasonably priced breakfast for 2 under $25/ southern style grits and complementary water!!
Those fast greens
Excellent layout. Recent flooding with understandable no cart on fairways increases time per round. Speed of greens crazy for a European!!! The staff said they were medium speed....will definitely be back to beat them.
This course was fun to play
This is a great course to play and the staff was great!
Beautiful Course
Course is in great shape. Fast greens. Fairways are pretty wide. Nice clubhouse with bar and good food.
Challenging
Layout was picturesque with tall pines, forest and rolling hills. Greens were firm and quick.
Great course - watch out for the starter though!
Had a great time - the course and the majority of the staff were great. Watch out for the starter who is a affectionately known as grumpy Joe. Enough said!
Excellent day trip to the coast
Came over from New Orleans and playing for first time. Course conditions excellent. Tees, fairways and especially greens were perfect. Layout is beautiful, cutting through pine trees with rolling hills. Only negative is pace of play and lack of marshals to make strong suggestions and pair up twosomes. Will def come back.
Nice course
greens were very nice, fairways were mostly in great shape. Some of the traps needed attention, but they were not bad. Enjoyed the track, thought it was a nice blend of holes, some easy, some harder. Would definitely play again. Snack bar had a really nice cheeseburger.
Fabulous shape
The course is in superb, flawless shape. Greens super fast and true - it's tournament condition. Played twilight round; great value, great pace. One of the best, most enjoyable rounds I've had in almost 40 years of golfing on Mississippi Gulf Coast. Par 5s, particularly on the back, extremely challenging - they narrow a lot and while reachable in two with a really good drive, it has to be perfect second, and even laying up is hard because of shrinking space. Terrific golfing experience.
