Cover: Sunkist Country Club in Biloxi: who can play, what it costs and how to book

Sunkist Country Club in Biloxi is a 1950s semi-private club in north Biloxi that sells public tee times online. The 2026 public rate is $79 Monday to Thursday and $89 Friday to Sunday with a cart, dropping to $59 to $69 after about 2 PM (seen October 2026). It is the closest full-length course to the casinos that visitors can book.

Who can play Sunkist Country Club

Sunkist is a membership club that sells public tee times. Its foreUP sheet has separate classes for "Public Tee Times," "Card Holder," "Member" and "Snowbird." As a visitor you book the public class; you do not need a member to sponsor you. Memberships are by inquiry.

The snowbird class exists on the sheet, but its terms were not published in our research. If you are spending a winter on the coast, ask the shop about it.

Sunkist Country Club Biloxi rates

The 2026 rate card has weekday and weekend prices but no seasonal tiers. These are the prices from the club's rates page and the live foreUP sheet, both read October 25, 2026:

Rate Mon-Thu Fri-Sun
Public ("Net Best")$79$89
Public, from about 2 PM$59$69
2026 Loyalty Cardholder$49$59
First responders and active duty$54$64
Guests of cardholders or members$54$64
Juniors under 16$28$28

The live sheet showed $79 on Wednesday October 28 and $89 on Saturday October 31 and November 7, 2026, before 2 PM. The cart is included: the foreUP rate shows no cart fee on top.

Twilight

After about 2 PM the price drops $20. In late October there is still enough light to finish 18 from a 2 PM start. Later in the year, as days shorten, check sunset before you book a late time. Our guide to cheap golf on the Mississippi Gulf Coast compares late-day prices across the coast.

The 2026 Loyalty Card

If you will play Sunkist twice or more, look at the card. It cuts every green fee by $30 and includes:

  • A free round.
  • A free replay round.
  • A towel or hat.
  • Range tokens at $10 instead of $15.

The card price was not published in our research, so ask the shop. On a week-long stay with two or three rounds here, the savings add up quickly.

How to book Sunkist

  • foreUP: the club's public tee sheet. When we checked on October 25, 2026, November 7 was already bookable, so the window is at least 13 days. The exact limit was not published.

How Sunkist plays

Sunkist is a mature, flat parkland course on about 128 acres in north Biloxi. It is short and friendly rather than demanding. These are the USGA ratings:

Tee Yards Men (rating/slope) Women (rating/slope)
Blue6,23269.9 / 125-
White5,97068.3 / 121-
Gold5,28564.9 / 10969.9 / 110
Red5,038 / 5,11363.7 / 10669.0 / 108
Orange4,42061.4 / 10064.6 / 102
Silver3,86759.8 / 9761.5 / 95

Six rated tee sets reaching down to 3,867 yards make Sunkist one of the best courses on the coast for seniors, juniors and mixed groups. Older cards show different numbers (Blue at 6,440 yards, 69.2 / 118), but the current USGA figures are the ones above.

The designer is listed as Roland "Robby" Robertson in one directory, but the club has not confirmed it. Turf types, overseed and pace are not published. Our Sunkist course guide has the course on the map.

Practice and clubhouse

  • Driving range: $15 a token, $10 for Loyalty Card holders, free for members. The range closes Tuesdays at 5:30 PM for maintenance.
  • Putting green.
  • Bar and grill, golf instruction, outings and tournaments, plus indoor and outdoor event space.

Sunkist vs other close-in options

If your group is staying at the Biloxi casinos, the short-drive options are limited. Here is how Sunkist compares, using the map's routed drive times from downtown Biloxi:

Course Drive from downtown Price seen Oct 2026 Who can play
Bay Breeze10 min$24-$32 twilightMilitary, DoD and guests; civilian pass needed
Sunkist20 min$59-$89Public tee times
Bayou Vista26 min$28Public
Shell Landing25 minNot posted onlinePublic
The Preserve28 min$150-$250 (2026 rates)Public; Palace packages

Bay Breeze is closer, but it sits on Keesler Air Force Base and civilians must clear a same-day background check on a weekday. For most visitors, Sunkist is the closest full-length course they can simply book. Our guide to Bay Breeze at Keesler explains the base access rules, and the Biloxi golf courses guide lists every course open to visitors.

Where Sunkist fits on a trip

For most trips, Sunkist Country Club in Biloxi works best as the easy, close-in round:

  • Arrival or departure day, when you do not want an hour in the car.
  • The morning after a late casino night.
  • Beginners or casual players in the group, thanks to the forward tees.
  • Two or more rounds on the Loyalty Card for a longer stay.

Pair it with a bigger test elsewhere. The Preserve in Vancleave and the Saucier courses are the coast's top end; our guide to the best golf courses in Biloxi ranks them, and the Preserve course guide covers the all-inclusive option nearby.
