Harrah’s Gulf Coast

the course is deceptively challenging. What looks like an easy hole can bite you in a hurry. Greens are true but a little thin probably due to the winter weather we've had. Should green up nicely as it warms up. friendly welcoming employees work there.

Staff is excellent - very helpful. Although we have had tremendous amounts of rain the course is still in good condition.

The Grandview Bear is a course with a great layout. You will be challenged but if played under control there are chances to score. The greens are fairly quick and with undulations. I enjoyed playing this course.

Easily the most beautiful course on the coast. Wonderful design and quality make for a day where you want to take your time and take everything in. Staff was immensely friendly and helpful. Would recommend to anybody visiting the MS gulf coast to experience the beauty of Mississippi.

While traveling, I had a chance to play Grand Bear just a couple of days after a heavy rain and flooding. I was thoroughly impressed. From the service I received from the staff to the conditions on the course so soon after the rain really made this round an enjoyable experience. Yes there were some still wet spots, but the overall conditions were excellent and the course is designed to drain easily. Jack did an excellent job here. The course is very challenging an the greens were fast and well maintained. If I lived in the area this would be my regular go-to course. Don't pass up a chance to play here if you are in the area.

Pros: course layout, greens were in great condition, staffs if very friendly and the maintenance team was very courteous, club house is beautiful (loved the view of it coming up hole 18).

Cons: no sign on main road directing you where to turn.

Can't wait to play this one again!

With enjoyed the day on the course. Staff was friendly and helpful. Pace of play 3 1/2 hours enjoy Grand Bear everytime we play here.

Really enjoyed the course. Range was closed due to wet conditions which was beyond the staffs control. Had a group behind us with music blaring from their cart. A Marshall on the course would have been nice, doubt they would have allowed that.

Came to play golf - great conditions, excellent greens that rolled true and fast. A little muddy in places as a result of recent rains. Great course. Food was average and staff was unaccommodating (missed breakfast by 5 minutes and was told had to get a hot dog and chips with a coffee - for $10 each). I know, resort course but since I support the casino (we all do) - would have been nice if they were a little more service focused.

But a great course for golf.

Thanks to Golf Advisor we had a special rate. The course was very wet due to rainfalls before and we could not drive on the Fairways. The drivingrange was also closed due to the weather and we had to pay full greenfee for our fourth person. This should have been reduced because of the conditions. Obviously not necessary for a Jack Nicklas course!

Always a great experience! Course is always in excellent shape with tees available for every type of golfer. Would play here every opportunity available! Located in the Desoto National Forrest, very peaceful and beautiful!!!!

Course was nice; however, 5 1/2 hours to play 18 holes made a usually fun outing miserable. Course could use marshals to help facilitate pace of play.

greatdayatbe yourcourseperfectformeIwillbeback thankyou

I've played the course and absolutely enjoyed playing here. The greens are fast, smooth, and in great condition. The staff are also very nice and friendly.

Course was in very good shape. Staff was very friendly. Off the beaten trail, but very much worth the drive

Excellent friendly staff
Great food
Greens in great shape

This place is amazing from tee box to putting green and all between. The staff are very courteous. The only negative thing is that there is ZERO breeze on this course because of the location so be careful and hydrate when playing in the heat of summer.

Fantastic course, well worth the cost. Superb condition

played the course from the senior tees played fairly easy but from the tips this course would be a bear (no pun intended) . the course is in the middle of a national forest and really beautiful not a lot of water but plays though the woods huge bunkers. Had a wonderful time

Top notch course. Tough course but chapelle going in a good way. Neat setting; located in a national forest with an entrance drive for half dozen miles presentsup a total golf experience. No houses anywhere around. Great value.
