The course winds through wetlands and skirts along the Little Biloxi River and the Big Biloxi River for a setting like no other. Of course, the legendary Jack Nicklaus designed this course, with the Grizzly Bear teeing at 7,204 yards on a bear-like course, and the Teddy Bear teeing at 4,802 yards for an easier day on the greens. With the name “Grand Bear” you just know this course will be challenging. As its name implies, there are more than 21 bridges on this unique course. An 18-hole, par-72 course that crosses 600 acres with marshes, moss-draped trees, and perfectly manicure greens, Bridges has 6,900 yards designed by the legendary Arnold Palmer. Voted one of the best courses and top casino golf course, Bridges Golf Club at the Hollywood Casino Gulf Coast overlooks the Bay of St. Here, we highlight eight of the best golf courses along the coast. Golf clubs open to the public with views of the bay are combined with the warm Gulf of Mexico winds to provide all-year days hitting the links. The wetlands dotted with flowering dogwoods and magnolias, imposing pine trees, and moss-covered oaks are also an excellent backdrop to the coast’s rolling greens. The Gulf Coast of Mississippi is not just beaches and casinos.
