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.

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.

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.
