Jack Nicklaus routed Grand Bear through the pines of the De Soto National Forest with no real estate, no road noise, and corridors so isolated that every hole feels like the only one on the property.

It's kept in casino-guest condition year-round, and the dynamic tee sheet makes weekday mornings one of the best value rounds in the South.

Nicklaus in the pines

Jack Nicklaus routed Grand Bear through longleaf pines and along a lazy, sandbar-braided river in the DeSoto National Forest, twenty minutes north of the Biloxi casinos. The corridors are broad, the sand is white, and the water tower over the treeline is the only reminder of a world beyond the golf.

Caddie notes
01Classic Nicklaus: the trouble sits right, and the bailouts sit left—favor the left half all day.
02Bermuda greens grow grainy by afternoon; putts die toward the setting sun.
03Book the first slots in summer—the forest holds humidity by 10 a.m.
