About
Unlike some Jack Nicklaus golf courses that have earned a reputation for being among the world's most difficult, mid- and high-handicappers stand a fighting chance at the Grand Bear Golf Course. Nicklaus offers wide fairways before the sprawling woods take over on either side, most bunkers aren't horribly steep, and greens generally have room in front to run a shot up. The winding Biloxi River helps build Grand Bear to a dramatic finish. The par-3 14th hole plays through a chute of woods to a green guarded by the river below that runs along diagonally, punishing hooked shots left short. After another par 3 on the 16th that plays with the river to the left, the 17th once again plays over the river on the drive, then parallel to the hole. The 18th hole plays long and uphill back toward the clubhouse.

Golfer Reviews
Must Play
A definite must play if you are in the area. The courses as well as the staff were amazing. Started as a 1 and paired up with 3 guys and enjoyed the round. The layout was “right in front of you” but with challenging holes. Bring your A game
Wet but good
First time playing course
It had been raining for past 4 days
That being said it was wet but fun course challenging but not to challenging watch out for the sand bunkers. Greens do need some more work on them deviates the rainy days fairways are good. I'm going to go play again before I leave when it drys up
Tough but fair. Play the correct tees or the course could be real tough.
Always fun to play. The greens had been punched and sanded but still enjoyed the experience. Appropriately, the green fees were reduced significantly to account for the greens. One of the best layouts in the Gulf South region. Almost always in really good condition.
Nice course
Course had just reopened after aeration. Other than that a very nice place to play
