Tee-time ticket: A Biloxi golf weekend that dodges Saturday hotel prices

A Biloxi golf weekend costs least when you arrive Thursday, play Friday to Sunday, and spend Saturday night somewhere whose weekend rate stays low. Casino rooms on the coast often triple on Saturday, but airport and Diamondhead hotels barely move, and Sunday tee times at courses like Pass Christian Isles are cheaper than Saturday's.

This guide builds a three-round long weekend around that pattern. All prices were seen in October 2026 for late-2026 dates. They change with demand, so treat them as a guide.

Quick facts

  • Best shape: Thursday night to Sunday afternoon, three rounds.
  • The expensive night: Saturday. Friday is the second most expensive.
  • Weekend-friendly hotels: Hilton Garden Inn Gulfport Airport ($88 king on a Saturday), Ramada Diamondhead ($82 king).
  • Same price any day: Windance and Diamondhead golf.
  • Cheapest Sunday round: Pass Christian Isles, $36 all day.
  • Avoid: Cruisin' the Coast week in early October.

Why a Biloxi golf weekend needs a plan

The coast's casino hotels price heavily by day of the week. Friday and Saturday cost noticeably more than Sunday to Thursday, and Saturday is typically the most expensive night. Here is what we saw for the same hotels on a Tuesday and a Saturday in November 2026:

Hotel Tue Nov 10, 2026 Sat Nov 21, 2026
Hollywood Casino Gulf Coast$63.98$283.98
Harrah's Gulf Coast, deluxe king$115 special$283 special
Scarlet Pearl$99 (official site)$279 (official site)
Hotel Legends, queen suite$109$259
Hampton Inn Biloxi/Ocean Springs, king$80$104
Ramada Diamondhead, exterior king$76$82
Hilton Garden Inn Gulfport Airport, king$138$88

Rates are typical, not quotes, and each hotel shows taxes and fees differently. Hollywood Casino's figure includes its $13.99 resort fee; Harrah's includes its $21.39 resort fee. The Hilton Garden Inn sold out completely on Saturday, November 14, so book early even where rates are low. For the full picture, see our guide to Biloxi hotel prices on weekends.

The weekend course math

Course rates move less than hotel rates, but they still matter over three rounds:

Course Weekday (seen Oct 2026) Weekend (seen Oct 2026) From 2 PM
Sunkist$79 Mon-Thu$89 Fri-Sun$59 / $69
The Oaks$99$109$59 / $69 (late twilight $39 / $49)
The Bridges$99 Mon/Wed/Thu$109 Fri-Sun$65 / $75
Pass Christian Isles$52 Mon-Sat$36 Sunday all day$36 from about 3:30 PM
Windance$110 any day (peak)$110$85
Diamondhead Cardinal$115 rack any day$115 rack$75 from 2:30 PM (rack)
Bayou Vista$28$28Flat rate

All of these include a cart at the rates shown, except the Diamondhead online sheet, which adds $23 per cart (the rack rate includes it). The Preserve also splits its fall pricing: $175 Tuesday and Wednesday against $225 Thursday to Sunday, so it is a weekday course if you can manage it.

A west-end Biloxi golf weekend (Thursday to Sunday)

This version keeps every round within about 25 minutes of the base and puts the cheap night where it matters.

Thursday night: Hollywood Casino Gulf Coast. Check in Thursday, when rooms are still at weekday prices. The hotel Golf Package started from $119 for a night and unlimited golf for one at The Bridges that day, with a $20 food credit. The booking terms give one day of unlimited golf per night, so ask which day applies when you book.

Friday: The Bridges. An Arnold Palmer marsh course with more than 21 bridges and a 144 slope from the Purple tees. Move up a set; even the White tees play a 139 slope for women. The Bridges course guide has the tees.

Friday and Saturday nights: Ramada Diamondhead. About six minutes from the Diamondhead courses, with free breakfast. Its exterior two-queen rooms were $87 on a Tuesday and $93 on a Saturday, a rare flat weekend price. Reviews are mixed, so set expectations.

Saturday: Diamondhead. Two 18s on one property. Play the Cardinal in the morning and add the Pine on the $35 same-day replay if the group has legs. Ask the shop which course is open on your date.

Sunday: Pass Christian Isles. The 1914 Tom Bendelow course is $36 all day on Sunday, cart included. It is about 26 minutes from the Ramada. Its public sheet opens only seven days ahead, so book the Sunday before. See our Pass Christian Isles course guide.

A Gulfport Biloxi golf weekend for fly-in groups

If you are flying in to GPT, base at the airport Hilton Garden Inn, whose weekend rates ran below its weekdays. It is three minutes from Bayou Vista, about 20 from The Oaks and 22 from Windance.

  • Friday: Windance, $110 before 2 PM or $85 from 2 PM, same price as a weekday. Book on the club's own site up to 14 days out. The Windance course guide has the tees and closures.
  • Saturday: The Oaks, booked on its 365-day public sheet the day you set the dates. Weekend price is $109, or $49 for late twilight from about 4 PM if you only want a casual round.
  • Sunday: a $28 round at Bayou Vista before the flight. Book on Teesnap; walk-ups are accepted, but tee times are required on busy days.

The Hilton Garden Inn has a bar on site, the Garden Grille & Bar. For a casino night, Island View in Gulfport is about 13 minutes from Bayou Vista. Our guide to flying into Gulfport-Biloxi has airline and rental details.

Weekends to avoid

Some weekends override the usual pricing entirely:

  • Cruisin' the Coast, the first full week of October (October 4-11 in 2026): the biggest hotel week of the year, with US 90 slow all week. See our Cruisin' the Coast golf guide.
  • Mardi Gras: parades close US 90 and downtown streets, and hotels fill on the final parade weekend. Fat Tuesday is February 9, 2027.
  • July 4 weekend, with the Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo in Gulfport.
  • Peter Anderson festival (November 7-8, 2026) fills Ocean Springs and the east end.
  • Big Coliseum weekends, such as the Crawfish Music Festival in April.

Our Biloxi events calendar lists them all, and the best time to golf in Biloxi guide covers weather.

If you have to stay Friday and Saturday at a casino

Sometimes the group wants the casino. In that case:

  • Ask about loyalty offers. MGM Rewards, Caesars Rewards and others can cut or comp midweek rooms.
  • Consider Hollywood Casino's Double Golf Package, from $169 per person for two with unlimited golf for two and a $50 food credit (promo DBLGOLF). The booking engine caps it at three nights.
  • Put the expensive green fee on Sunday at a course that prices weekends the same as weekdays, and the cheap one on Saturday.

If a two-town weekend appeals, our Gulf Shores golf weekend guide covers the Alabama side, east along I-10. For a longer stay, see the Biloxi golf trip itinerary.
