Mississippi’s first world-class championship course, the 18-hole Jack Nicklaus design blends challenge and enjoyment for golfers of all abilities. From the members’ tees, the course plays 6,243 yards in length, while from the tournament tees, it stretches to 7,199 yards. Those who play the course will encounter rolling terrain distinguished by grassy bunkers reminiscent of the finest Scottish courses. Features of the layout include Champion Bermuda Grass greens, 419 Bermuda fairways and rough, with fescue and native areas throughout. Strategically placed bunkering and broad lakes throughout the course demand respect even from the longest hitters. Experts have noted similarities with such diversely notable courses as Pinehurst, Muirfield, Cypress Point, and Augusta National.
