Harrah’s Gulf Coast

great early morning round. friendly staff starting with the gentleman that greeted us in the parking lot. great layout and good playability. will play this one again. I will tell my friends about it also.

the overall condition of the course in my opinion was not good. the greens were very bad patches all over all putting greens. fairways were very thin. can't say I would ever go back.

Excellent golf course! A 6 mile driveway into the golf course, tucked away nicely in MS. From parking to finish, courteous service, escort to the first hole and available driving range and putting green to practice on prior to playing. Overall a fun and a enjoyable round. Nice restaurant as well!

This is the first time I’ve played this course. I expected a jack Nicholas course to be challenging with a great layout. It lived up to the expectations plus a little bit. They advise the greens I just been aerated five days prior to me playing and I couldn’t tell a bit. The greens were very receptive smooth and rolled very well. The view coming up number 18 is absolutely amazing. I highly recommend playing it from the white tees your first time if you are not an experience golfer. I played the gold their equivalent of the blue and I’m relatively long off the tea. It leaves you with a lot of cool interesting shots. I would recommend this to anybody who asked

Great day. From the6 mike beautiful ride through the woods to the finishing hole. Course in fantastic shape, greens perfect . The personnel really enjoyed being there and made the day special.

The Grand Bear is a must play if you visit the Biloxi MS. Area . Conditions where wet but they had a bad rain storm hit the day before - it was cart path only . Jack made a super nice golf course in Desoto National Forest and it is a gem ! Lots of tee boxes for every level of player . Staff kind and helpful . Wish we had played it on a dry day . Can not say one bad word about the Grand Bear - hope to play one day when it is dry = had a blast ! Grand Bear for april in great condition - played like the tour would play on any given day - Greens fast - Lush ! = Gem !

Challenge to find the place without GPS, limited signage. Once there, very secluded, tranquil feel. Greeted by a gorgeous clubhouse with attentive staff. Course can be challenging with strategic bunkering and lines that challenge your depth perception. Greens rolled nicely, fairways were in good shape. Only downside noted were several tee boxes where the grass hadn’t made a full comeback. Overall, great course, will definitely be back!!

Played this course in the normal rotation on our spring golf trip. This is worth a day and a very good layout. Impressed with the traps as they have a nice base of sand in them and believe me I know. lol Really nothing bad to say on this visit.

This is a great Jack Nicholas course. There were some risk rewards holes and as always Nicholas gives you a bailout area around the greens. This course is layout into the woods so no houses or other buildings. The course was wet from recent rains so not much roll out. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I was paired with two members which is always helpful. These two men were friendly and helpful with course knowledge. I would definitely play here again.

While having a nice pretty clubhouse, and friendly staff, the grand bear was nothing special and in fact the greens were choppy, and very slow. Located in the sticks, the course overall offered an average to below average challenge but what was really a let down were the greens. So Jack designed the course...yank yank. For the price I expected much more. You dont have to worry about pace of play because nobody was there, literally. That's because they charge entirely too much. Shadowridge in hattiesburg,ms blows this course away. I'll not ever make the trip again.

Excellent course. Great layout and the staff is the best. Food in clubhouse needs a little work but it did not take away from the beauty of this place.

The staff was friendly and the course was in excellent condition. The greens were fast and rolled true. The pace of play was great. Range balls were included with the green fees as well as two bottles of water on ice in the cart cooler. I definitely recommend this course, you won't be disappointed.

This Course never fails, luckily I live only about 10 minutes away from this course so I'm a little spoiled but I love this place. It never fails to challenge you and the different pin placements are all pretty tough. If you are looking for a challenge and really nice course this is it. Just a little tip for this course - Stay on the Fairway because the rough is thick and will hurt you.

I feel like the superintendent does not care for bookings through Golf Now. He suspended play for a severe thunderstorm which everyone on the course complied with. When I asked about a raincheck for the remainder of the round he was short and told me to work it out with Golf Now. The course was wet before the thunderstorms hit. He reopened the course with rivers in the fairway, I believe to avoid refunds. Even with the Hot Deal, the green fee's are higher than most courses in the area. The three rounds I have played there in the last year have all been cart path only and extremely soggy. In my opinion Windance and Diamondhead are much better options and you don't need a hot deal to afford to play there.

Great staff. Greens are a little firm and couldn't create any spin, Roll great and true. Front nine has great risk reward tee shots. Not everyone is a 300yd driver like they think they are so pick your tee box according to you ACTUAL driving distance.
