I'm going to play there on Monday. I've never seen a bad casino golf course so there's that....

Better hit to the numbers.

I run into John Fourcade there a lot.
Fun course.

It's closer to Waveland/Bay St. Louis than Biloxi, btw

Tough track your first time playing, you'll hit "good" drives and find your ball in the marsh or OB. Like Net said, play to a number and hit it straight

Been years, but I really enjoyed it. My first time breaking 40 for 9 was there. Had a birdie-eagle-par-birdie stretch.

Not a bad course at all, but like others have said, it is kind of weird in some places.

The first time I played The Bridges ( and the last) I played with two club pros and a mini tour player .

None of us had ever seen the course before

Seemed like half the holes were blind tee shots to small landing areas and severe greens requiring precise yardage iron shots.

We drug up after 16 holes and went to the bar None of the three pros had any chance of breaking 80 nor had I any chance to break 90

Later as we speculated over stiff cocktails in the bar " Why would a casino resort want one have such a penal golf course?"

The answer came from the wisened bartender who advised me that this is the type of golf course a casino operates who wishes to ensure that their guests spend the majority of their time in the casino NOT on the golf course!

If you like to grip it and rip it be prepared to be humbled. I find it is always in great shape.

This place is a hidden gem. It's in great condition and one of my favorite courses to play. Bring plenty of balls (any fairway miss will result in a lost ball) and lots of blind tee shots. Course management is the name of the game here.

You guys were spot on. Those candy cane 150 stakes are great! Course us beautiful. Greens pretty fast. That short par 4 17th tho!!
