Mississippi Golf Courses
Mississippi has 178 golf courses, with about 95 eighteen-hole layouts and 50 nine-hole courses making up the majority. Nearly every county seat has a country club with at least nine holes, and green fees across the state consistently run below the national average. The Gulf Coast corridor around Gulfport and Biloxi is the primary golf destination, where casino resort development has produced several higher-end courses. Hattiesburg, about an hour inland, supports its own cluster of courses in the Piney Woods region.
The Jackson metro anchors the central part of the state, with private clubs and daily-fee courses in Jackson, Madison, and Canton spread across rolling red-clay terrain. Northeast Mississippi around Columbus, Starkville, Oxford, and West Point has a strong concentration of small-town country clubs, many dating back decades, with nine-hole layouts at Economy and Standard pricing. The Delta region to the west is flat river bottomland, where a handful of courses play across open terrain near Greenville and Clarksdale.
Year-round golf is possible throughout most of the state, though summer heat is intense. From June through September, temperatures regularly exceed 95 degrees with heavy humidity, and most golfers tee off at dawn. Spring and fall are the peak seasons for comfortable play, with March through May and October through November offering warm days without the worst of the heat. Winter rounds remain feasible in the southern half, where freezing temperatures are rare. The Gulf Coast stays playable through January and February with highs in the upper 50s and 60s.
