This course can be a challenge for all skill levels. "Golf Digest" rated this course as the 7th "Best Public Course" in the state for 1996. However, the wide fairways do provide for ample landing areas. The terrain is predominantly flat, but water hazards and trees are always somewhere in play. The signature hole is #14, featuring a long narrow fairway and requiring a shot over water.

Architect Earl Stone's vision of a traditional yet demanding test of golf comes to life at Mississippi National Golf Club. Water comes into play on 10 holes, demanding strict attention to shot placement and strategy. The 6,983 yard, par 72 layout is scenic enough to put a player's mind at ease, while challenging enough for even the most expert golfers. A course rating of 73.1 and slope of 128 has enabled Mississippi National to host numerous high profile events, including the recent Mississippi Coast Classic (Nike Tour event).
