Harrah’s Gulf Coast

Decided to play golf on a quick 4 day weekend trip to Biloxi. I'd played this course years ago, so I knew what to expect. This course is in the middle of the forest, there is nothing around except the course itself. Beautiful course with wide open fairways. Greens were a challenge, but in great shape. Some approaches, even after great drives, would not give you much room to work with. It offers a little bit of everything, some holes reward long drives, some are target golf. You won't find a friendlier staff or nicer surroundings. One of my favorite course experiences.

My fiance and I played here on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, almost had the course to ourselves. Great condition, challenging but surprisingly fair compared to the other Nicklaus courses I have played. We will definitely be back on our next trip to the Gulf area.

An outstanding course! Staff service was great. Facilities are wonderful. Beautiful course. Very well tree lined and bunkered. If you can't hit a good drive, it will be a long day. Well worth the money for a bogey golfer and better. I will definitely return.

excellent course. Greens and fairways in great shape. Very secluded saw 3 deer grazing on the fairways. only problem was slow pace of play. Hit the ball and wait. I am not good at that.

Great course and great value. Beautiful setting and staff was very friendly. Course was in great condition and I would definitely recommend this course to anyone. My original plan was to play Fallen Oaks but do to them over pricing their "private (for Beau Rivage guests only)" course, I decided to play this one. Was not disappointed and will play this course again anytime I am in Biloxi.

This is probably my 8th time here in 2 years. If I lived closer, 120 miles roundtrip, I would play more often. I love the scenery surrounding the course and the challenge of it. Not too difficult. Yesterday I saw for the first time deer out and about early feeding. Two does and 2 fawns. I stopped and was able to get close enough with my cell phone to take pictures. The course was in excellent shape and I finished 18 holes in less than 3 hours.

Knowing Nicklaus, I had high expectations for this course. It is operated by Harrah's and I learned that course was mismanaged during Harrah's slow period, thus the course suffered. It is on the mend. Course condition is great, however the greens appear to have be lost recently but on the mend. It is a great layout which features easy, moderate, and difficult holes. It is located deep in the woods, but is a gem when found. Great facility and a must play.

Unreal setting , the solitude of the DeSoto National Forest is incredible , the staff were fantastic , the facilities first class , the course impeccable , great value great golf !

Very nice course, with very generous fairways, all fairways, bunkers, and rough in excellent condition.

Excellent condition and value
Does need new golf carts

I don't like cart path only when the fairway were dry up. I rather walk than cart path only

Overall it was fun and the people were friendly. It had rained a little the day before so the marshell said it was cart path only, which ment a lot of walking. We did not encounter any wet holes and were told that we would be notified, if course was going back to 90. The course care folks were moving and riding all over the course, but we were never notified or approached on being able to get off cart path. Unfortunate, because not having to walk all over would have made it much more enjoyable. For the overall value, course condition, friendliness and cost, we put it at #3. Number 1 choice in this area for all of the above "Windance"

the course was in great shape other than the sand traps have almost no sand in the base areas. they were raked but just lack the 1.5 inches that is standard on tour caliber courses. beyond that the course was perfect. the course is great for any grade golfer with several sets of tees to make it playable. its a little secluded but well worth the drive.

Great course and playability. Fairways are wide enough for higher handicaps to spray the ball a bit. Par 3's are excellent!

Amazing course and the price made it even better!!

well kept course from the club house, pro shop out to the course. great layout very pristine. saw deer right off the bat set the scene for the day. plenty of water to drink and shelter on course. bathrooms midway between each nine holes

The staff was great!
The course was very wet so not a lot of roll on the drives. But other than that, extremely enjoyable.

Beautiful course, secluded, located 6 miles off the main highway. Challenging with lots of hidden trouble. The weather perfect as was the fair ways, however, the greens have just been aerated which made them quite bumpy. Would love to go again when the greens are right.

My son and I had a great time playing golf at Grand Bear. It was hot, but the course was in great shape, and the staff is superb!

Though the weather was hot, it was well worth the trip. The staff was courteous and helpful, the course layout was typical Jack Nicklas design witH many force carries, plenty of water and traps, and generous fairways.
