Grand Bear Golf Club
About Grand Bear Golf Club
Grand Bear Golf Club sits about 35 minutes inland from the Gulf Coast, offering a quieter setting away from Biloxi. The 18-hole course was designed by Jack Nicklaus and winds through towering pines and natural cypress wetlands, with secluded fairways and closely maintained greens.
Practice facilities are available on site, and the rustic clubhouse houses a golf shop and a grill area.
The club hosted the PGA TOUR Champions Rapiscan Systems Classic in 2022, a 54-hole tournament featuring 78 players from the tour.
