Overview
This Jerry Pate design, recognized by Audubon International, makes compelling use of the natural terrain, with native fescues, bunkers and marshlands framing many holes. Currently ranked on our Best in Mississippi list, The Preserve has many forced carries over wetlands and bogs, requiring quality ball-striking off the tee. The Preserve’s natural aesthetic makes it a must-play on a trip to the Mississippi Coast.

“Fun, well-maintained course through Mississippi woodlands and marsh. If you keep it in the fairway a good score can be had. Be careful of the several greens with large undulations."
