Elm Lake Golf Course
Columbus, MS · 8.6 mi away
Elm Lake Golf Course in Columbus, MS has a challenging layout. The course is known for its strategic holes and pristine conditions. It offers engaging play.
Mossy Oak Golf Club
West Point, MS · 13 mi away
Mossy Oak Golf Club in West Point, Mississippi, was designed by Gil Hanse and opened in 2016 on open prairie next to the Old Waverly property. Hanse worked with a wide, largely treeless site and used ground contour rather than water to shape the golf, building wide corridors with native grasses scattered through the margins. The fairways run firm and the turf is kept fast, so shots release and the course plays shorter than the yardage suggests. Bunkering has ragged, sandy edges rather than a formal look, and the large greens allow running approaches from well short of the putting surface. It is walkable, with caddies available, and plays about 7,200 yards from the back tees. It is open to public play, and it was built to look and play differently from the water-driven Old Waverly course next door.
Mississippi State University Golf Course
Starkville, MS · 19 mi away
The Mississippi State University Golf Course is located on the MSU campus in Starkville and serves as the home facility for the university's PGA Golf Management program and its men's and women's golf teams. Architect Brian Ault designed the 18-hole championship layout, which opened in 1986. Water comes into play on nine holes, including a stretch of three lakeside holes along the back nine, and mature pine trees line several of the longer par fours. The course is owned and operated by the university but open to the public, with tee times available to students, alumni, and general golfers, along with a pro shop and full practice facilities.
