Great track but living on its old reputation

Very unwelcoming staff. Indifferent and not interested in doing anything for the guests. The weather was bad so had lower expectations with the cart path only, no cart girl etc. But was taken aback that the practice Faciltiy was completely closed. Not really sure why other than I was told they can't collect plugged balls due to it being g so wet.

We had prepaid via golf now and got the feeling they didn't want us to play but didn't offer anything for closed range, lost golf balls in green Sode bunkers filled with water, flooded cart paths. Course really should have been closed. Just disappointing experience

Very enjoyable, good staff

Great staff, conditions, and experience. Unfortunately I left a good Titleist wedge that someone did not turn in but that is my fault, not the course! We will definitely return.

Shell Landing; play it if you have the chance

Course was beautiful amenities nice, cost very good, carts a little older, but ran well. Staff was friendly. Course drained well considering the rain it had in the previous three days.

Southern golf at its finest

Not sure where the 2.0 ratings come from. Course is beautiful, well maintained (maybe a few bald spots), and challenging. Breathtaking scenery and wildlife abound. Top 5 course in MS!

Should have taken my advice from 2017

Well Fallen Oak was closed so we needed to fill one spot. Reluctantly I scheduled this at my own peril. See my review from 2017. Nothing has changed.

Stay away

So the best thing about this place was the lady behind the bar and Sydney in the proshop. I love the layout. I've played this course each year I visit and it constantly gets worse. Extremely bare, Back tee boxes almost gone on a few, no tee plates (except on par 3's) first few greens were punched in season, wild grass growing everywhere including edges of greens. For 100 bucks this was a terrible value. Will not be back and it's out of the rotation.

Few better

Always is good condition. Fast smooth greens. Plenty of room for tee shots but if you are really wild you will be punished. I play this course 10+ times a year. One of the best practice areas you will find on the MS coast.

Beautiful course

What a great course in south Gautier, who would have ever thought this particular area could produce such a gem. Course is challenging but fair, knowing the greens will help tremendously. The greens were some of the purist I've putted on, great job to the staff. I would say this is one of the best courses on the coast, great job Kenny Hughes! Will definitely play here again during my next visit. If you're in the area play this course you won't be disappointed.

Perfect conditions

Drove here from Dauphin Island - was worth the drive! The design of the course was a lot of fun. Every hole was unique and you needed to calculate your shot. You don't just grab a driver every hole and fire away. The gold tees were just the perfect length (6700 yards) The ladies tees were fair and my wife had a good time too. The greens, fairways, and tee boxes were all perfect. We paid $35 each for twilight - awesome value! Some of the holes were so difficult but they were so much fun. Played one of my best rounds. Watch out for Hole 18 - it's a doozy!

Beautiful Course

Shell Landing is a must play if in the Biloxi area. The course was in pristine condition. The course winds thru the marshland that provides great back drops and beauty to the course. Greens were excellent smooth and true. We did have multiple rain delays, course drains well but it was difficult to hit out of the rough when wet.
