Twenty minutes north of the Biloxi casinos, Grand Bear rolls through the De Soto National Forest with not a house in sight—a Jack Nicklaus design that would cost three times as much in most zip codes.
It pairs naturally with a Gulf Coast casino weekend: stay at Harrah's on the water, eat the gulf shrimp, and book golf through the club's dynamic tee sheet where weekday mornings are the steal.
