I'm looking to organize a golf weekend at a hotel/casino this summer for 10-15 guys.

Live in lafayette now and I'm open to go anywhere from Lake Charles to Biloxi or a little north based on suggestions.

Biloxi looks like it has some decent options. Looking for some OT recommendations and wondering what price point we might be looking at per person.

Thanks

Biloxi Casinos have some legit golf courses attached to their brand. Grand Bear and Fallen Oak but i can't remember specifcally which one was with which hotel. I think Grand Bear was aligned with Grand Casino.

Fallen Oak through the Beau ain't cheap but the course is really nice.

This. There is also Grand Bear (The Grand), Windance (Island View), Diamondhead (2 courses), The Oaks, and The Bridges (Hollywood) all within about 45 minutes of the Beau.

Shell Landing also is 20 minutes from the Beaux. The Preserve shouldn't be too far either.

I played Shell three weeks ago, and I volunteered at Fallen Oak two weekends ago. Both are very nice courses. Shell was in awesome shape. Fairways are greened up. Greens were beautiful and rolled well. Fallen Oak is only available if you stay at the Beaux. And then it's $250 a round. Shell is open to the public, but it's the IP's course.

Someone else mentioned Dancing Rabbit. Great course, but you're not gonna have the options you have if you go down to Biloxi. You'll have the casino and golf, and about nothing else in Philadelphia.

I'd go to Biloxi for the options alone. You're looking at $100 per round at most casino courses, at minimum.

If you aren't set on a casino, the RTJ trail courses in Alabama always have good package deals and are great courses.

If you get a free players card from the IP you can play Shell
Landing for 50 bucks.

The Preserve and grand Bear are probably a little nicer but will be around $100.

Shell is in great shape right now. I'm not sure about the others.

Well damn it. I had one. Didn't even think about using it when I went to pay.

Can't go wrong with any of those.

Fallen Oak is $ especially with 15 dudes, half of which probably hack it around and wouldn't really appreciate it.

Coushatta was my first thought. Great course for pretty reasonable price.
Thanks for all the other options on dancing bear and Biloxi.
I'm gonna send some emails to the resort for their packages and report back.
Those Biloxi courses look awesome.

I've gone 3-4 times w/ a group of 14 - 20.

Stayed at Palace Casino (smoke free) - they own the Preserve. Get food vouchers and free play vouchers.

Play Preserve on Saturday, check in at the hotel after - play Grand Bear Sunday on the way back home to LA.

Good luck w/ the trip.

Surprised Lauberge LC hasnt been mentioned yet. Nice course and top notch pool amenities. The lazy river and adult only pool are a fine way to associate with the fairer sex. Good luck!

Dancing Rabbitt is great for something like this. I'm going there this weekend. $550 is covering 3 rounds of golf and 3 nights in the hotel.

My golf league does a trip every year like this to Biloxi.

Here are my course reviews:

I haven't played Fallen Oak, but hear it's very, very nice.

The Preserve is the prettiest of the ones I have played, but I found it to be the toughest as well. Lots of places for lost golf balls in native areas.

The Bear is a really great course. Heavily wooded and probably the tightest. But not unfair. I enjoy the Bear

She'll Landing is probably the best value. Maybe a slight step down as a layout, but the people are nice and treat you well, and it's not a slouch of a course. You'll enjoy it.

The Bridges is also very tight and "target golf". I haven't played there in years, but I enjoyed it. Very affordable.

I haven't played Wind Dance
