I have played this course many times with friends and enjoyed it. We played on Feb 1 and we were thrilled with the condition of the greens. No bare spots, greens were full and lush. Putts were makeable from anywhere. They are working on tee boxes now. Keep up the good work guys, making this historic course one of the most fun to play again.

It's a fun course that is having some issues. Played today at $31.00 It would be tough to justify much more than that.

Just terrible. Fairways are like concrete greens are like velcro. One hole doesn't even have a yardage marker. 35$ for 9 holes. Also no elevation changes. Possibly an old goat ranch. Don't know how anyone would play there twice.

well from start to finish, this may be the worst course I have ever played.. it is the oldest course in Mississippi, and no doubt it has not kept since it opened in 1908 when it opened. the fact that you can have a prime spot on the gulf and have it be this run down in a tourist area is amazing to me

Course was in decent shape and updated greens fee+cart was reasonable. Nice fair course that makes you plot around to avoid the hazards. Great views and relaxing morning overall!

Not a bad course; priced fairly for what you get. Golfed on a pretty crummy day, so we didn't run into many golfers. Course was pretty tore up from a storm from the night before and could have used some quick clean up from their grounds crew before opening. All in all, not terrible and worked perfectly for our first time out this year.

Course was fun to play, greens not the best shape but it is the oldest course in Mississippi. Cheap rate. Views on hole 1, 4 and 18.

Course staff is very friendly and helpful.The course is wide open and greens are slow and bumpy. They look good but need some help. Fairways are not bad , but the rough is just weeds and heavy grass. There is no driving range and the putting green is rough. Pricing is very good but do not expect a manicured country club course.

Like playing in a cow pasture. Greens are like Velcro. No golf etiquette to be found, had balls drop in on us on the greens on 3 & 7. Too many single players out. It's no relaxing when you're dogged by never ending single players. Won't be back!!

Staff was incredibly rude to my friend, while the course location is amazing the conditions do not match the price.

Decent golf course. Greens were just a little on the hard side. 150 yard shot landing directly in the middle of the green not even leaving a pitch mark. Plays more Links style except for the big up-slope leading into most greens. Layout was a little funky without the mid course stop into the club house, as the 9th hole finished on the backside of the course. SO if you are a mid round snacker you better get it before or expect a nice little 500 yard detour back to the clubhouse. Other than that, nice friendly staff, decent price. IF you like to and are able to walk the course, it is laid out perfectly for you.The only thing I would ding a little hard would be the lack of a driving range, the other practice areas are pretty good. A small putting green with only 3 holes and a little chipping area with two flags. But, I for one like to hit at least a small bucket of balls before heading out to the course to loosen up and get the little kinks out. .

The greens needs a little improvement but overall the course was really fun to play. The view was beautiful also. The service there is great. Cindy, the beverage cart girl, was very friendly and such a pleasure to have around. I will most certainly come back time after time.

One of the worst golf courses I have ever played. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul.

Really fast greens for the area, reasonable prices and an enjoyable course overall. Only problem was the advertised price was different by $5 but still reasonable. I was told you could not walk the course but that must be wrong because several players were walking. I will return.

Greens need work. Was able to get a tee time as soon as we got there. Best of all it was by the gulf!

Lifetime golfer. Played all over. This is a nice course. And it is old school country clubish. You can score if you do what you are supposed to do and you will find enough trouble if you don't hit the ball straight -- or can't bend it some on keys holes. Yeah there's burn patches on some greens but just move the ball over a bit. God I hate whiners -- go drop $450 at Pinehurst 2 if you want southern perfection! Great staff. Great food. Great view. Surprisingly no bugs.

If you are a golfer, and are looking for a nice course , you should skip this course. It may only be like 25 or 30 bucks for 18 with a cart, but you get what you pay for. This may have been one of the worse if not the worst course I have ever played. Greens were rock hard, super slow the tee bbox had nothing but weeds on them . Awful course. Pay a little extra some where else this place event at 30 I felt cheated. And I have played courses from your municipal courses to whistling straits and Pinehurst, don't play awful

November 11, 2014. Had breakfast at this restaurant. The price was ok. The food was horrible. Lisa the bar mgr was friendly . Pro shop guy was snooty to say the least. Very bad overall experience. The grounds and course are not very nice compared to other golf courses I've seen. The location and history are very good but the actual experience doesn't come close to living up to this heritage.

I really enjoyed playing the course and it had some minor issues but all in all a very pleasurable course to get in some practice on. I would reccomend this course to anyone wanting to play some golf for exercise and relaxation.

I've been living in Mississippi for about seven months and I've been looking forward to the opportunity to play not only a Donald Ross course, but a course where some of the greatest legends and some of my heroes of golf have played like, Ben Hogan, Sam Snead & Byron Nelson. I had high hopes for the this course and while I wasn't completely let down, my round ended with the feeling that it could have been a better experience.The course is a interesting and challenging layout, most of the fairways were narrow and slightly undulating, but not severely. Numerous types of trees (live oak, palm, etc...) line and dot the fairways and in a few instances, they are in the middle of the fairway. There are a few small bunkers here and there, but not like some of the small beach resorts (just missing the ocean, of course) I've seen in Arizona. Speaking of Arizona, I've seen many a busy fairway, so this is a nice change of pace. Most of the greens were elevated, which I do enjoy, since I have a pretty good short game. Greens were small and fast, so an accurate putter is helpful as pin placements vary from easy to very tricky. Famously, Ben Hogan once said there were no 7 iron shots at Merion. Although, I didn't use every club in the bag, I used most, if I played here regularly, I would likely remove a club or two from my bag. If I played here weekly, I would likely remove my 5 iron, as I never used it. I mostly used my driver, 3 wood 3 & 4 hybrids, 8, 9, pitching & sand wedges & putter. I also used a 7 wood once. The course that I regularly play, I use the 5 iron now & then, especially on a couple of the par 4's.That said, there were some disappointments; the very first water station I came to was missing it's water jug and the second station was as well. To add to that, a large sign at the clubhouse proclaimed 'No outside beverages.' Okay, but a least provide good 'ol water. As I made my way around the course (sort of) I noticed there were little to no signs for on-course direction, at least on the front nine. More than once, I found myself headed in the wrong direction. The pro shop had yardage books for sale ($5) which contained details for layout, but just a basic map of the layout was nowhere to be found. I've played par 3 courses that did this better. Nickel and diming folks for every little thing comes off as greedy and can be a turn off.To compound the navigation challenges, some of the tees had more than one teeing area which added to confusion since the tee markers were so small and nearly blended in with the ground. Yardage makers were present at the tees, but even those just listed the hole number & yardages. Several holes had yardage markers at 150 yards which were helpful, but between those and stakes for roped off areas a few of the fairways looked like they had fences in them. I noticed this because my ball hit a couple of those stakes. Another thing I noticed were the frequent patches of bare ground, especially at the edges of some fairways and adjacent to cart paths.Great Southern is a course that wasn't built as a spectacle or to elicit a specific type of reaction, but more like something to learn from, enjoy & be savored. I will return, now that I have seen the layout and had some time to reflect. For my next round at Great Southern, I'll again book online to save some money, since the regular green fees compared to elsewhere are a bit high given the course conditions I've previously described. If I were a casual golfer, I'd probably pass on another round, as the annoyances would likely keep me from enjoying the course and my round.

The Great Southern Golf Club the best golf value within 200 miles. As the address [2000 Beach Drive, Gulfport, MS 39507] indicates it is literally on the Gulf of Mexico. Four golf holes are on the Gulf. The course is in year 3 of a major improvement to the greens and fairways. If you haven't played the course since July 2015, you'll be pleasantly surprised to see how good it is. It is a fun course for all levels of golfers. None of the holes require a long shot to clear hazards so it is more enjoyable to play. Good golfers will still need to hit good shots to score well due to lateral hazards and small greens.The Clubhouse offers stunning sunrise and sunset views over the Gulf and offers breakfast and lunch daily. It is located where the Biloxi and Gulfport city line meets the beach, so it is close to the major hotels, casinos, restaurants, and the Edgewater Shopping mall. In full disclosure, I am a member and perhaps biased, but I've tried to be honest in my assessment. Hopefully, I can give it 5 stars later this year!

Do yourself a favor and go play golf somewhere else. This course was a mess. These greens were hands down the worst I've seen. Did I mention overpriced?
