Bay Breeze embraces “civilian play with advanced reservations and proper identification only.”
Biloxi’s own golf professional Frank Stiedel designed Sunkist Country Club in 1953, and the semi-private club has become a favorite of visitors and residents. Local golf architect Earl Stone designed both the Pine Course and Cardinal Course at The Club at Diamondhead, the only 36-hole facility on the Coast.
In the ‘80s, March on the Coast welcomed golfers from sunup to sundown. After Easter each year, snowbirds would exit the doglegs of Mississippi and head home. No more! Golfers visit year-round. Golf package pioneer Mark Mumley remembers the days when golf wasn’t organized. “Motel owners would send golfers to the course with a business card with “Good for One Round of Golf” stamped on the back,” recalls Mumley.
Coastal Mississippi boasts that it has “the perfect course” for every golfer and for every budget. “Legendary designers” and local golf architects have created a world class golf destination on the Gulf that challenges golf pros and welcomes recreational golfers of all skill levels.
Whether golfers visit while on a buddy trip, a couple’s getaway, or a group outing, linksters can book a tee time at any of the public or semi-private courses. Premier golf lives on an adjacent fairway with inexpensive golf. With more flights into Biloxi/ Gulfport International Airport, a wide range of accommodations, and renowned restaurants where golfers can celebrate their best shots, Coastal Mississippi makes it easy to play—and gives you countless reasons to stay!
