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.

Pure golf

This was one of the most enjoyable rounds I have played in the area. This is a true golf course with tee boxes to challenge all levels of play.

A Must Play Course

The course was in excellent condition. The staff was fantastic. The clubhouse was very well maintained. Really enjoyable experience and I would say this is an absolute must play course. The course is fairly challenging but the views, countless deer, rabbits, and exceptional condition of the course easily make this one of the most fun courses I’ve ever played.
