Originally from New Orleans and now living in Austin, TX, I was not expecting such a gem of a course. There is plenty of topography for the golfer to take on for such a flat area of the state. If you are a serious golfer The Bridges is for you! Wonderful Arnold Palmer layout through the back bay of Bay St. Lots of issues and work to do here however, I do recommend to play it if you get a good deal as the design is EPIC! However, if true price. How does a gem of a course not get the proper and deserved maintenance? The fairways were good with the rough having issues with other grasses and some weeds and lots of edges were completely h.Īnd final disappointment was with the greens and not the fact that they had just been aerated because they actually rolled true and relatively nice considering it had not been a week since aeration but the disappointing fact that there was large bare places on some of the greens with no grass at all and dirt and sand. Also, the grass around the traps were a mix of grass and many weeds which made it extremely hard to gain any feel with the different challenges. The traps were pretty terrible too with rocks and some had grass growing in them. So much was disappointing as it was not well managed as there were not many golfers out on the course yet when there is four foursomes within 7 holes do not follow them with a 2, a single and another 2 and another 2 pair people up that you know will catch up to the next group anyway and it keeps pace of play manageable.Īlso disappointing was the fact that this epic design had been let go as the maintenance of tee boxes was average and tee box 11 below average with dirt and a weed. The stars were the par 3’s and the par 5’s as they each had their unique qualities yet I thought they were fair and fun! And I was tickled that I parred the number one handicap in a 437 yard par four. The Clubhouse was fantastic and super clean from men’s locker room to pro shop to the restaurant. Palmer! A lot of beauty to take in as well with some beautiful trees and foliage along with some shots of the Bay.

The green complexes were well done with undulation and true rolls to make putting fun. What a great choice except for 7 everything else felt manageable and it was simply hitting targets as you had lots of different looks of landing areas as the Bridges name implies so it was hit spots and make putts golf epitomizes great golf course. The design was epic! And being solo, I challenged myself and played the King’s tees. Of course, I chose the Bridges mainly due to the fact that it was designed by Arnold Palmer. When my wife made plans to come back to Biloxi, I looked for a new course in surrounding area to play.
