The Jerry Pate design threading through southern Mississippi's rolling pine forests delivers memorable risk-reward theater, particularly on the signature par-5 16th where water guards both sides of a severely undulating green. Pate's routing maximizes elevation changes rare in this region, creating dramatic downhill tee shots and challenging uphill approaches that reward local knowledge. What separates this layout from typical public fare is the sophisticated green complexes—heavily contoured putting surfaces that demand precise iron play and reward aggressive pin-hunting with makeable birdie putts.
