Rating Snapshot
About
The Pines at Diamondhead Country Club was the first of two 18-hole golf courses built on the property. The semi-private course opened in 1969.
Designed by Earl Stone, the Pines measures 6,817 yards from the longest tees and has a slope rating of 134 and a 73.5 USGA rating. The golf course features four sets of tees for different skill levels.
The major challenges for both courses are their tree-lined fairways. The Pines Course has well-placed bunkers and water that comes into play on many holes.

Diamondhead Gem
Friendly staff, great check-in at the pro shop! Tee times on schedule, starter gave us some tips on the course since it was our first time playing which were extremely helpful. We played the Pines course, greens were fast and a little tricky to read the slope. Great course layout, some water but lots of strategic placed sand traps. It would have been helpful if the hole layout was posted on the tee block, a few holes weren’t sure if water was in play. Nancy the director sales provided lots of info for future golf group outings, we look forward to returning and playing the Cardinal course.
Great place to play
Played the Cardinal course at Diamondhead, MS, the fairways and green were in great shape, (woods and water not so much). Very friendly staff
Nice challenge
First time playing this course in over 20 years. Played the Cardinal course last year and enjoyed it. The Pines course is maybe a little tighter and plays more as a positional course. OB looms and just about every hole, and when conditions are firm, balls may just roll out of bounds, which can be disappointing.
Currently, the par four 12th hole is being worked on, looks like they are resodding the fairway, so it's playing as a par-3 of 150 yards.
Tee boxes and fairways were in nice shape. Greens were outstanding - putting here is a premium because of a lot of movement on the greens which were firm and quick. I thoroughly enjoyed my round here and look forward to returning. It's about an hour drive from my home, but I think it's worth the drive.

Course was in great shape. Greens were excellent and very challenging.
Great course
The course was in great condition. Friendly staff. Pace of play was fantastic. Played in 3 hours.
Pine course Diamond Head
First time playing this course. The course was for the most part in great shape. They had one hole that was a par 4 that they were doing repairs in the fairway and they made it a par 3. The greens were super fast. Took we awhile to get used to the speed. Could put from way off the green.
Pace of play was slow. They had a lot of play for a Wednesday at 1:30.
Staff was super friendly.
If I had to complain about anything it would be the driving range matts. They leave a bad film on the bottom of your clubs. It took me forever to get it off the bottom of my 3w when I got home. They could update their matts. Other than that a great course. I plan on going pack to play the cardinal. They say it is a tighter course.
Diamondhead
I have been golfing for 32 years, I live on a course in Michigan which I’m a member at, and I have never had such a warm welcoming to a club. I believe she was a new manager, I forgot her name, but she was so incredible and helpful. The rest of the staff was amazing also but she really stood out. If you visit Mississippi for some golf do not pass this up. Course was great. Facilities were great.
great condition
Very playable with good fairways and very nice smooth greens. All well maintained.
