PINE BAYOU GOLF COURSE

The Gulf Coast humidity hangs heavy over this layout where towering pines frame generous fairways and water hazards lurk on nearly half the holes. What elevates this Mississippi track beyond typical resort fare is the strategic bunkering around elevated greens that demand precise approach shots—especially the par-3 14th, where anything short finds the drink. The coastal breeze adds unpredictability to club selection, rewarding local knowledge and punishing tourists who underestimate how wind affects ball flight in this sultry corner of the South.
