-Love this course's potential.
-Great views, of the Mississippi Sound, from some of the holes.
-Almost a Scottish links style with the sand everywhere. Not a typical woodsy setting.
-Holes at the park entrance and along the main road insure maximum exposure.

Dislikes:
-Overall. Better course markings would be nice. A scorecard with a map would be nice. We were pretty much able to find our way around but we had players in our group who had played here preKatrina. Natural tee boxes would't be that bad if they were level.
-Hole 1. Too close to a playground. One bad throw could seriously hurt a child.
-Hole 13. You are throwing right over the basket for 12. Another dangerous situation.

Other:
This park was at Ground Zero for Katrina. The wave pool and water slides still sit there as reminders of the devastation of the storm.

Origional course was devastated in 2005 by Katrina, and has just recently reopened. It is an OK course and believe me since the next closest course is 45 min to 1 hr away I wouldn't complain. I lived ... show more ›

Origional course was devastated in 2005 by Katrina, and has just recently reopened. It is an OK course and believe me since the next closest course is 45 min to 1 hr away I wouldn't complain. I lived here after Katrina and there were no courses open on the coast. Front nine is Lefty friendly and comes too close to Palyground. Back nine is Righty friendly and has confusing transitions. Overall short course with lot's of birdie opportunities. Make sure to use spotter around marsh grass areas, as discs get swallowed up by the tall grass.
