Great golf course

This was my first time here. Greens were in great shape and matched the speed on the practice green.

I spent too much time in the bunkers. My fault, of course, and the sand was soft and a fair test of shot making.

The course was absolutely wonderful, the staff very friendly and accommodating

My only complaint is we were sent out as a fivesome when there was no ryme or reason for it. There was no group ahead of us and we were holding up the twosome behind us for twelve holes. My suggestion is a fivesome should always be a last resort.

Nice Course

We stayed in Biloxi and played this course. The staff and starter were very friendly. The course was in great shape and fun with a slight challenge. I would recommend this course if you are in the area.

Best Golf Experience I've Ever Had

Without question, this is the nicest course I have ever played at. From the moment we arrived, it was a first-class experience, We were greeted by the starter, Doyle, who gave us all the ins and outs of the course since this was our first time playing there, He then brought us to Hole 1, and this is where the fun really started. Every part of the entire course was in immaculate condition. Tee boxes, fairways, greens, and even bunkers were in incredible condition. The layout of the course was great. The fairways are fairly open which will allow for some forgiveness off the tee, but it is challenging in the way that it forces you to use all of the clubs in your bag. Also, every hole is secluded from all other holes so you don't have to worry about balls from another hole flying into your fairway. If you are looking for a great course to play, this is the only one you should consider. 5 stars in every way for me.

If there is a better course in Mississippi...I don't wanna play it!

Wow! What can I say? I was supposed to play another course today...but I ended up playing at Grand Bear...I was NOT disappointed. As a matter of fact...I played 36 holes. The course was absolutely beautiful and perfect in every way. The staff was awesome...even the guys who came out and greeted me at my car were professional and courteous! The nice lady on the beverage cart...Teresa...made regular checkups on us to insure that we were well taken of. If you are ever in the area...this course is a must play.

Very Enjoyable

Jack Nicklaus did a great job on the design. Fairways are generous but if you get in the rough you pay. The greens are protected by sand traps you really need to avoid. Overall a great layout and a challenge to all golfers.

Excellent Course

The staff, course, warm up, everything was great except the weather. Driving range w green fee is a huge plus, and makes it worth the money. No one around or pressuring you, pace of play is amazing.. The starter is friendly every time, he’s great. He makes sure you are informed about the hole placements, and distance. Highly recommended, one of the best courses along the ms gulf coast.

Grand Bear a “Golden Bear” Treasure

I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to Grand Bear. The staff, from the proshop to the starter to the young man spraying down the carts, went out of their way to make you feel welcome. I couldn’t believe how friendly and helpful they were. Great job guys! In addition, the course was in immaculate condition and the layout along with all the tee options was fun and enjoyable. I enjoyed myself so much I booked two more times this week to play before heading home. I will definitely make this trip again.

First Rate!

Simply a beautiful course! Staff is friendly and helpful! Great layout. It’s as if you rented the place for a day. No houses, rarely another group in sight. By far my favorite on the MS gulf coast!

Best layout south ms

This was my first time playing this course I have played almost all the courses except this one and a couple more. This is the best layout I have played this far. It has demanding tee shots and even more demanding second shots to most greens. We played on a Wednesday evening and the greens had been cut but were Slow. Going to a course of this caliber I would expect them to be rolling faster but I’m sure this south ms heat has something to do with them not cutting them short. Can’t wait to go back and get a second round at this course now that I’ve seen it.
