Cardinal at Diamondhead Country Club

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.

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!

Had two big groups ahead of us. A good amount of waiting took place, and not sure if they have a marshal to enforce pace of play. Few of the greens were covered in leaves. Range and putting greens were nice. Overall was an alright course. Will go back, but not in any rush. Hopefully have a better experience with cardinal.

Played the Pine course. Very good condition. Enjoyed playing there and will return soon. Would definitely recommend this course.

I played the course 3 times in 3 days—so this review comes with a solid perspective. If anyone wants to putt on first class greens both courses will make you very happy. Homes around the courses don’t really come into play so no need to panic. The locals were very friendly that I played with on the pines course Saturday . Had a great round with them helping me around the course. First and last day played as a single …not a problem unless you run into a 5 some of privileged golfers. I’ve played all over the world and to see seniors not picking up trash or repairing marks in fairways and greens was disheartening—-that none of my business but nevertheless it was bothersome for such a nice place. Now the negative. I played one round for regular fee, two rounds using GolfNow. I was definitely treated differently when using GolfNow. The check in process was no where near as friendly nor professional as when I paid full price. both times using golf now there was no getting keys then not being told the range was closed but still paying at check in for balls was uncomfortable. I also had the privilege to be checked on by the starter as a single and being congratulated that I was keeping pace with the threesomes in front of me. I’m a 7 handicap but was made to feel like I didn’t know how to play. That’s ok I enjoyed the starter watching me hit shots…lol. I didn’t see a starter on Saturday or Sunday. The pine course was closed so maybe guys needed something to do. I would play the courses again but would figure out a way to stay out of the pro shop with a golf now purchase. There was definitely a different and unwelcome vibe.
So you know I have taught public school for 34 year and I know people. The golfers once again were nice even though I couldn’t play through which is their choice. The pro shop needs adjusting if there is a stigma using Golf Now.
