The Grand Bear Leave it to Jack Nicklaus to add to the challenge of the area's golf  courses.
Even though the course is new in 1999, it is already getting rave
reviews. One of the favorite holes is #15, a par 5 that runs along the
Biloxi River. The green is protected by natural white beach sand. The
course is only accessible by staying at one of the Grand Casino hotels.
The course is very exclusive and with 20 minute tee time increments you
will only see the beverage cart girl and an occasional marshal during
your entire round. They have already hosted a duel between Paul Azinger
and Jesper Parnevik for Shell's Wonderful World of Golf.The Bridges at Casino Magic Located in Bay St. L  ouis
and this five year old course has already been rated 10th Best in the
State by Golf Digest. This Arnold Palmer masterpiece has wetlands that
create hazards on every hole. The large, fast greens are slightly slope
protected by Scottish-style bunkers. The signature hole is #8, a
283-yard, par 4, which has the Bay of St. Louis sitting in the backdrop.
In August 2002, the course has been honored as the 1st resort golf
course certified as a SilverSignature Sanctuary in the world. Pretty special!

in width. Dr. Gil Morgan created this gem and he gave us large greens,
but with bunkers galore. #7 is a 173-yard, par 3 with a water hazard
between the tee and the green. A sand bunker guards the front of this
peanut-shaped green. Tough to find a landing area. Throughout it’s eight
year history, The Oaks has received numerous awards and accolades
including being honored by Golf Digest as one of the “Top Ten Courses”
in Mississippi, voted as the “Best Course on the Coast,” by readers of
Coast Magazine and selected as the 2003 “Golf Course of the Year for the
Mississippi Gulf Coast,” by the National Golf Course Owners Association.
The Oaks has challenged some of the best players in the country as a
former host of Nike Tour/Buy.com Tour events in 1999 and 2000 (now the
PGA Tour’s Nationwide Series) and having hosted the first stage of the
PGA Tour Qualifying School in 2003.

and the professionals. Expect water hazards in the form of streams and
ponds to come into play on half the holes and wetlands on the other
half. #6 is the toughest par 4 on the course with a forced carry of 240
yards from the back tees, so double check your egos and pick the correct
tee box for your skill level. Your landing area is a wide fairway and
then the green is guarded front, left and back by marsh. Aim at the
right side of the green and hit a draw. #17 is the signature par 3 with
elevated tees hitting to a downhill green with marsh in front. Only 200
yards from the back box!
