This is your chance to become the Huckleberry Finn of Golf, and float down the mighty Mississippi to Fallen Oak. Fallen Oak Golf Club is the crown jewel of Mississippi golf. A Tom Fazio masterpiece located in Saucier (about 30 minutes north of Biloxi), designed exclusively for guests of the Beau Rivage Resort & Casino. Often called the “Shadow Creek of the South,” it delivers elite private-club treatment with gated entry, personalized service, pristine conditioning, and a natural, rolling layout through forests, wetlands, ponds, and thousands of majestic oaks. It’s consistently ranked as Mississippi’s #1 public-access course, offering luxury resort golf with that high-roller MGM vibe.

Quick Facts

  • One championship 18-hole course: Tom Fazio design (2006), par-72, up to 7,487 yards from the tips
  • Natural beauty: Gently rolling terrain, tree-lined fairways, wetlands, streams, ponds, and over 4,000 oaks/magnolias/pines; five sets of tees for all levels
  • Year-round play: Mild Gulf Coast weather (great winter escape, warm springs/falls); limited rounds keep it uncrowded (~14,000/year)
