Great course, great value
Super friendly staff. Well maintained fairways and greens. If you're visiting Gulfport/Biloxi I highly recommend this course.
Nice course but a little tight.
We enjoyed our round. Course was in good condition except for Tee boxes on the par 3’s. Temporary artificial surface due to refurbishing. Green we’re challenging with some inconsistencies.
Course friendly
Even though course was busy pace of play was great
Nice course
Played here on vacation, conditions were good, only complaint was some of the tee boxes on the par 3s were not where they were showed on the yardage book and were much closer in the 70-100 yard range. For it being a beautiful and busy Friday, the pace of play was steady, it backed up a little at the turn, but then kept moving, and I didn’t feel rushed like some other courses. Staff was super friendly as well. I’d play here again for sure!
Greens are Nice but Green Fee Seems High for Overall Condition
Played Sunkist in early March so giving the overall rating some latitude. But in my opinion, $35-$40 green fee seems more reasonable considering the conditions. However, in reviewing green fees on Golf Now, Biloxi seems high overall. Holes are "squeezed" into allotted property, and one must be very careful about errant tee shots.
Liked the course layout.. Course is in good shape. Only drawback I encountered was slow play. Groups of six and and high school students coming out in the afternoon to practice. Will play course one more time and deal with the slow pace.
just an average course
Not a bad course, but nothing special. Nothing stands out.
Great course
Great old course. Typical of repairs to the course this time of year. Nice layout. Very busy for a Monday. Greens were slow but very smooth rolling.
Sunkist review
Every par 3 was under construction and being redone. They had turf laid out about 35-40 yards from the green. So we paid to play about 12 actual holes.
Nice for the area
One of the better courses that we played in the area. The course was in fairly good shape and pretty well marked. The staff was very friendly. Worth the price.
Greens were good but course is rough. Not a $65 course
8.5/10
Conditions and the staff was aweome. The layout is old and boring. A bit expensive but it was in really good shape
The course was laid out kinda tight, on tee box is literally right behind another green, greens were harder than you would expect, very challenging course
