Best golf courses in Mississippi.

West Point, MS

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.

Flowood, MS

The Refuge is a public, 18-hole course in Flowood, Mississippi, owned by the City of Flowood. Roy Case designed the original course, which opened in 1998 on about 200 acres of reclaimed wetland outside Jackson. The course was closed for a multi-year renovation led by architect Nathan Crace of Watermark Golf, reopening in the spring of 2021. The rework rebuilt the bunkers, installed new TifEagle greens, and upgraded the irrigation system. The layout is routed through pine and oak stands with lakes and creeks worked in from the original wetland grading. The Refuge is open to public play with tee times booked through the course.
