A casino golf trip to Biloxi: how the days and nights fit together
Plan a casino golf trip to Biloxi: which resort suits which group, drive times to the courses, golf tie-ins, resort fees and why midweek nights cost far less.

A casino golf trip to Biloxi works best as morning golf and evening casino: tee off early, be back by mid-afternoon, and spend the night at the resort. Pick the casino by the course it unlocks (Beau Rivage for Fallen Oak, the Palace for The Preserve, Island View for Windance, Hollywood for The Bridges) and stay Sunday to Thursday to save on rooms.
This guide shows how a casino golf trip fits together on the Mississippi Gulf Coast: which resort suits which group, how far each one is from the courses, and where the money goes. All prices were seen in October 2026 and change often. Where a hotel's room rates were not checked, we say so.

How a golf day and casino night fit together
The rhythm that works is simple. Play in the morning, have lunch at the course or back at the resort, rest, then dinner and the casino floor. Most Biloxi casinos sit on Beach Boulevard or the Back Bay, so nobody needs to drive after dinner.
Drive times from the casino strip decide which courses make easy mornings. From Beau Rivage, the map's free-flow routing gives:
| Course | Minutes from Beau Rivage | Green fee seen (Oct 2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Sunkist | 19 | $79-$89; $59-$69 after 2 PM |
| Shell Landing | 25 | Not posted; call (GolfLink estimate about $99) |
| The Preserve | 27 | $175-$225; $150 after 3 PM (fall 2026) |
| Fallen Oak | 28 | Beau Rivage guests only; package pricing on request |
| Windance | 40 | $110; $85 from 2 PM |
| The Bridges | 55 | $99-$109; $65-$75 from 2 PM |
These are estimates without traffic. Add time on event weeks such as Cruisin' the Coast in early October and Mardi Gras parade weekends.
Pick your casino by the course
Fallen Oak trips start at Beau Rivage. Fallen Oak is open only to Beau Rivage guests, booked with the room, and the resort runs transport to Saucier. Book the golf when you book the room. Our Beau Rivage golf guide explains the stay.
The Preserve pairs with the Palace. The Palace owns the course and builds one-night stay-and-play packages with slot play and food credits through golf sales (1-800-725-2239 ext. 2460).
Windance pairs with Island View. The Gulfport resort's Unlimited Golf package starts at $99 with a deluxe room, unlimited golf with cart, buffet trips, a drink and $10 slot play. There is no resort fee.
The Bridges pairs with Hollywood Casino. The course is two minutes from the hotel, the package starts at $119 with unlimited golf that day, and a Tuesday room was $63.98. The Bridges is closed every Tuesday, so plan the golf days around it. See the Hollywood Casino Bay St. Louis golf guide.
Grand Bear suits Caesars members. Harrah's lists Grand Bear among its amenities, and a third-party listing says Caesars Rewards tiers get green-fee discounts. There is no package.
A three-night casino golf trip that works
- Sunday: arrive, check in on the Biloxi strip, dinner at the resort.
- Monday: Fallen Oak (Beau Rivage guests) or The Preserve in the morning. Casino night.
- Tuesday: Sunkist or Shell Landing, both about 20-25 minutes away. Try Mary Mahoney's Old French House or Half Shell Oyster House, both a short walk from Beau Rivage and Hard Rock.
- Wednesday: a west-side round at Windance, or move to Hollywood Casino and play The Bridges on Wednesday and Thursday.

What a casino golf trip costs
The biggest line is the room, and it swings with the day of the week. Casino rooms cost noticeably more on Friday and Saturday. At Hollywood Casino a Tuesday in November 2026 was $63.98 and a Saturday was $283.98. At Harrah's a Deluxe 2-queen room was $121 on a Tuesday and $289 on a Saturday. One older published example, a Beau Rivage group block in spring 2023, was $154 Sunday to Thursday and $174 Friday and Saturday plus tax.
Then add the resort fee, which most of the big casinos charge per night. Island View lists none. Casino loyalty offers such as MGM Rewards and Caesars Rewards can cut or comp midweek rooms, so join before you book. The weekday vs weekend hotel prices guide has the full spreads.
When to go
Spring (March to May) is peak golf season with the highest green fees, and October and November are the second high season. Winter is the cheapest time for golf and casino hotels outside holiday weeks and Mardi Gras weekends. The first full week of October, Cruisin' the Coast, is the hardest hotel week of the year. Our guide to the best time to golf in Biloxi goes month by month.
