Golfweek’s Best 2022: Top public and private courses in Mississippi

Golf by day, then casino gaming by night? If that’s your kind of sure bet, then Mississippi offers an incredible lineup. Seven of the top 10 public-access golf courses in the state appear on Golfweek’s Best ranking of casino courses in the U.S.

Golfweek’s Best offers many lists of course rankings, with that of top public-access courses in each state among the most popular. All the courses on this list allow public access in some fashion, be it standard daily green fees, through a resort or by staying at an affiliated hotel. If there’s a will, there’s a tee time.

Also popular are the Golfweek’s Best rankings of top private courses in each state, and that list for Mississippi’s private offerings is likewise included below.

(m): Modern course, built in or after 1960
(c): Classic course, built before 1960

Note: If there is a number in the parenthesis with the m or c, that indicates where that course ranks among Golfweek’s Best top 200 modern or classic courses. Rankings for courses that appear on Golfweek’s Best list of top casino courses also are listed when applicable.
