Harrah’s Gulf Coast

The challenging course at Grand bear, the beauty of the club house and the friendly staff all rate an excellent in all ways. We enjoyed the quiet solitude of the course, the scenic river and the quality of the golf. The dozen deer that nibbled the grass were a bonus. Great day!!

this course is a winner,must play course everything was all good wildlife/scenic views the course has it all

It was 28 degrees as we arrived. A Frost delay moved our 7:40 tee time to 8:20, but we were glad to wait until it warmed up! By 9:30 we had shed all of our extra clothing and had a wonderful day of golf under clear blue skies. The course was winter brown, but in excellent condition. The greens were very well kept and great for winter conditions. The course played long, but very enjoyable. Can't wait to play it in the summer. Staff was great.

Wonderful staff, very accommodating and one heck of a well maintained track. This place is tough but fair. Highly recommend this place.

This is an excellent playing experience. The choice of multiple tee boxes makes this course fun for any skill level. I highly recommend this course!

I have played this course on several occasions and have have greatly enjoyed each one. For my handicap I play from the Brown Bear tees which demands you focus on each and every shot. The staff and restuarant personnel are always friendly and helpful. And so is the cart and Marshall. I look forward to playing this course on more occasion this year.

The course was in great shape and everything was awesome but 3 things that stuck out to my group.
1. For a cousre that is soooo good and club house that is awesome looking.. WHY DO THEY HAVE GOLF CARTS THATS so OLD AND BROKEN DOWN LOOKING?
2. Did not rain in 2 days but was still cartpath...why not 90 degrees?
3. need a beverage cart ..esspecially on weekends

I love the course. For winter time it is in good shape. The greens are brown but don't let that fool you. They putt true and with good speed. They are not over seeded with rye grass just to make them look green.

We had a foursome & pace of play was great. The course was in great winter condition. We need to improve our bunker shots.
Will play the course again.

I am 67 with a 19 handicap. I played from the forward tees and this course still seemed long. You should definitely play forward unless you are a 12 or better handicap. The one thing that bothered me about the course was the fairways were cut so tight the average golfer has a hard time making good contact. I am use to the ball sitting up a little and it definitely was not at this course. Course was wet but in great shape for being winter.

The staff was very good the course was challenging. It was cart path only due to excessive rain the night before, so it made club selection more challenging. I would love to paly again under better condition. I have play all the JN courses in TN and this course is just as good as the others I have played

I little far from Gulfport/Biloxi but this is a great golf course
Played here several times got a great deal from GolfNow

Because the greens are above you, this course plays longer than the actual distance. The greens are undulating so birdie putts are very difficult.

Got a great deal on Golfnow the day after Christmas. Made the trip from Louisiana with 4 friends. It's way out in the middle of the woods. Plenty of deer to be seen. On the day we went the weather was cold and damp, course was in great shape considering they had a ton a rain the day before. Course was very challenging, but fun as well as very scenic. Look forward to coming back when everything starts turning green.

We played in a two-ball on this course and we were the only ones on the front nine, possibly due to the fact that the not-so-friendly head 'professional' charged us approx. $25 more each to play 18 holes. This course would get a lot more "visitors" to play if they scrapped their terrible policy of charging non-residents more than locals. I am from England and this would never be allowed to happen. Disgraceful...

If you have never been to this course, be prepared when you turn onto Grand Way you have about five miles of turns and twisting road to get to the course. If it is early morning you also have the sun reflection to deal with.But all in all a great course.

First off, I found one of Golf Now's "Hot Deals" for this course. Seeing as the usual rate is $65 per player I jumped on it for $35. It was the best money that I have spent on golf in a long time. I made the 1.5 hour drive from Louisiana and boy was it worth it. The facilities are great, the staff was extremely helpful, and the course was in phenomenal shape! There are some really challenging holes on this course because of length, but the greens are the best part! Trust your eye for sure and don't overthink your reads on putts.

This course offered beautiful scenery to boot. We saw a few deer run across the fairways and even an alligator laying on a log in the river. It definitely is one of the better courses in the Gulf South. I'll be making the drive back again soon!

I looked forward to playing here for some time. I got a great deal on Golf Now. I am glad I got a discount because the fairways and rough were now in dormant stage ( browned). I was told everything was in great season shape. It was not. Very disappointed Long trip to get here. Was not worth it. Maybe some day I would come back if the grass was green should not charge 5 dollars for a small bucket if you are playing

Typical Nicklaus course, you have to play to spots to score best but the landing areas off tee shots are generous so errant shots can be recoverable. Par 3s mostly dependent on pin placement. Greens challenging but very readable and predictable and smooth and quick. Plenty of opportunities around the greens to chip close or even hole out if you miss the greens in regulation. All in all a very nice, well maintained and beautiful course to play.

Course was beautiful and everything was great. Only thing that bothered me is that a bartender was rude to someone. It wasn't me or anyone in my party but it was very disrespectful and unprofessional.
