FALLEN OAK

This Tom Fazio masterpiece carves through 600 acres of pristine Mississippi pine forest, where towering longleaf pines frame every shot and Spanish moss drapes the landscape like nature's own gallery ropes. The routing brilliantly incorporates massive live oaks—some over 300 years old—as both strategic hazards and breathtaking backdrops, particularly on the par-3 17th where your tee shot must clear a centuries-old sentinel guarding the green. While the Gulf Coast humidity can sap your energy, the immaculate conditioning and thoughtful risk-reward architecture make this the finest public golf experience between New Orleans and Mobile.
