The Grand Bear Golf Course
About
Unlike some Jack Nicklaus golf courses that have earned a reputation for being among the world's most difficult, mid- and high-handicappers stand a fighting chance at the Grand Bear Golf Course. Nicklaus offers wide fairways before the sprawling woods take over on either side, most bunkers aren't horribly steep, and greens generally have room in front to run a shot up. The winding Biloxi River helps build Grand Bear to a dramatic finish. The par-3 14th hole plays through a chute of woods to a green guarded by the river below that runs along diagonally, punishing hooked shots left short. After another par 3 on the 16th that plays with the river to the left, the 17th once again plays over the river on the drive, then parallel to the hole. The 18th hole plays long and uphill back toward the clubhouse.

Fantastic course!
Isolated and quiet! This course was very fun and the conditions were great! Bunkers were soft and greens were fast!
Excellent Place to Play
No better value for your money through the Golf Now app. This course is almost always in excellent shape from tee to green, which is saying a lot for the maintenance staff, due to the extreme weather conditions for this part of the State (heat & rain). Highly recommend this course.
Mississippi Getaway
Course was awesome and although it was very muggy it was a very enjoyable round. A do again if we're traveling that way!!!
Great Course
Conditions were excellent! Layout is challenging and greens were solid and ran true!
I loved it!
Grand Bear is great
I would highly recommend this course if you’re in the Biloxi area. Had a great time.
Great course, excellent shape, great for the GN price, I just wish this deal was offered more often.
