Cardinal at Diamondhead Country Club
About
The 18-hole Cardinal at Diamondhead Country Club, half of a 36-hole layout on the property, is a semi-private course that opened in 1979.
Designed by Earl Stone, the golf course measures 6,831 yards from the longest tees and has a slope rating of 132 and a 72.7 USGA rating. The course features four sets of tees for different skill levels.
The major challenges for both golf courses are their tree-lined fairways. The Cardinal Course is wooded and was built on gently rolling terrain. It has no parallel fairways and extra-long sand bunkers.

Fun course
I looked playing the Pine course. Play did get a little slow after we caught up to several 5 man groups.
mos 2nd round
super friendly staff course in good shape depending on which tees you pick challenge increases
mosround
super friendly staff greens fast and true based on tee selection as challenging or playable for all
Lovely Track
Greens were immaculate, fairways as nice as you could hope for this time of year. Staff all friendly.
Played this course as part of a spring break getaway the Biloxi, MS area.
Solid course. A bit soggy after some rains, but overall in good shape.
CONDITIONS: It rained pretty good days before and the course was soggy, particularly around the greens. Greens and bunkers were in good shape.
VALUE: After playing other courses in the area, I’m going to say “overpriced.” I did not feel this was nearly as good of a value as other courses in the Biloxi region.
LAYOUT: The front 9 plays thru housing. There are plenty of good holes, but nothing memorable. The back 9 get away from some of the housing and plays out in the woods a bit more. Holes #12 and #15 are fun challenges.
FRIENDLINESS: They got me paid and out on the course. The starter was very helpful on talking me thru the first couple of holes.
PACE: Played as a single, behind another single, behind a 4 some. Waited on almost every tee box, but somehow got done in just under 4 hours.
DIFFICULTY: If you’re spraying your driver, this course will not be any fun. But if you can keep the ball in front of you this course is scoreable.
Great course
Beautiful layout and challenging green- unfortunately the we played rained night b4 and was cart path only- but we still had a great time
Two nice courses
The Pine Course has a challenging layout but playing after a rain is not advised. Tee boxes need some work.
No beverage cart except on weekends. Still a good value.
Amazing.
I drive from New Orleans to play here a couple times a year. Great layout,
Great course
It’s a challenging and fun course. Staff is awesome and the club house is hard to beat.
Out of bounds everywhere
Both courses are in horrible shape. Out of bounds if you go left or right on almost everyhole. If you’re over 70 or hit the ball only down the middle you can probably score decent. No grass in the roughs, so if you stray at all your ball will most likely be outside the white stakes. Both courses will give you the same results. My two least favorite courses that I have played in the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Pro shop workers are not friendly for the most part. The bar and servers are really good. Also, you can play so many nicer courses on the gulf coast for the same price or less. Greens are at best average and the sand traps are horrible.
Value doesn’t do it justice…
Not only are the courses top notch but the staff is extremely accommodating. Most courteous starters ever, pro shop staff as well as the clubhouse staff…never any complaints!
