Fallen Oak
Fallen Oak Golf Course: When it comes to the best public-access golf course in the state of Mississippi, Fallen Oak vies with Old Waverly for top honours. However, like Old Waverly, you will need to be a member or a resort guest to sign-in and play here. In Fallen Oak's case the resort is the Beau Rivage Resort & Casino, located 18 miles south in Biloxi.
This highly acclaimed Tom Fazio designed golf course is laid out in a wonderfully quiet, undisturbed area of natural woodland, without any roads or housing intruding on your round. Pleasantly undulating, good-width, rolling fairways create a relatively open parkland feel, sometimes lightly tree-lined, but never too densely.
The course-surrounding woodland, made up of oak, pine, magnolias and other indigenous tree varieties, is for the most part out of range, generally reachable only by the most wayward of shots.
A fabulous array of grass-fronted bunkering defines the holes and fiercely defends the excellent quality and typically large greens. Most of the bunkers are distinctively "fingered," with "walled" fingers protruding into and standing "proud" of the bunkers' sandy contents. The gently undulating terrain provides many elevated tee-boxes, from which the wonderful aesthetics of each hole can be admired and its challenges weighed-up.
Resort guests (staying at Beau Rivage Resort & Casino) can book to play on weekdays and weekends.
No outside visitor play available.
Walking permitted. Golf carts are fitted with GPS. Caddies available.

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with five wins out of her last five starts on the LPGA Tour. Winning the Chevron Championship also brought the second major championship win of her career.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda's five wins in five starts, when he placed second at the Houston Open. Either side of that, he won The Arnold Palmer, The Players, and then The Masters and The Heritage.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
