On the Gulf Coast map: Bay St. Louis to Pascagoula, Saucier and Vancleave
Bay St. LouisThe BridgesPar 72 · Slope 144 · From $65 · 56 minThe hardest course on the west coast of Mississippi, an Arnold Palmer marsh layout with more than 21 bridges and a 144 slope from the tips. Rates are $99-$109, and the casino's unlimited-golf hotel package is the better deal if you stay.SaucierGrand BearPar 72 · Slope 143 · From $65 · 57 minA full Nicklaus course in the national forest with no houses on it, open to anyone. It pairs with Fallen Oak for a Saucier day but is a strong round on its own.SaucierFallen OakPar 72 · Slope 142 · From $180 · 29 minThe best course on the Gulf Coast and the one golfers plan the trip around. You can only play it as a Beau Rivage guest, so the hotel choice comes first.Pass ChristianThe OaksPar 72 · Slope 140 · From $39 · 38 minThe longest and toughest public course west of Gulfport, at 7,006 yards and slope 140 from the tips. Rates run $89-$109, and late-day times drop to $39-$49. Conditioning reviews are mixed, so check recent ones before a big group trip.GulfportWindancePar 72 · Slope 139 · From $85 · 41 minThe best-conditioned public-access course in Gulfport by most recent reviews. It is a firm, pine-lined McCumber layout at $110 in peak season or $85 after 2 PM. Book on the club's own site up to 14 days out.DiamondheadDiamondhead PinePar 72 · Slope 136 · From $70 · 47 minDiamondhead's original 1969 course. It rates a bit tougher than the Cardinal on the USGA card and shares the same $115 rack rate, cheaper online prices and academy. Play both in one day for a 36-hole outing.GautierShell LandingPar 72 · Slope 134 · From $55 · 25 minA Davis Love III course that usually costs well under the casino courses. A good value round on the east side of the coast.DiamondheadDiamondhead CardinalPar 72 · Slope 131 · From $70 · 47 minThe better of Diamondhead's two property-owner courses, sitting next to the coast's only indoor/outdoor golf academy. Rack rate is $115 all-in, but the online sheet runs about $70-$107. It is a solid, wooded member-style round west of the Bay.BiloxiSunkistPar 72 · Slope 125 · From $59 · 20 minA 1950s semi-private club about 15 minutes from the casinos, at $79-$89 with a cart or $59-$69 after 2 PM. It is short and friendly rather than demanding. Use it as the easy, close-in round of a Biloxi trip.Pass ChristianPass Christian IslesPar 72 · Slope 123 · From $36 · 48 minA 1914 Bendelow course in a quiet Pass Christian neighborhood at $36-$52 with a cart. It is short and old-fashioned, with small greens. Recent reviews say conditioning is hit or miss.BiloxiBay BreezePar 71 · Slope 120 · From $24 · 10 minKeesler Air Force Base's course on the Back Bay, open to military, DoD and their guests, with a civilian visitor-pass route. Twilight rates run $24-$32 with a cart. For most trip groups the gate process is too much hassle, but it is a bargain if someone has base access.GulfportBayou VistaPar 72 · Slope 118 · From $28 · 26 minGulfport's old Tramark municipal course, renamed Bayou Vista. It is short, simple and $28 with a cart. Play it for a cheap, relaxed round, not for conditioning.VancleaveThe PreservePar 72 · From $75 · 28 minThe most polished all-inclusive round on the east side, priced like a resort course. Worth it if you want full service; Shell Landing is the value play nearby.
