Mossy Oak delivers one of the most memorable golf experiences you’ll find anywhere. The course layout strikes that rare balance between challenging and inviting—the kind of design that rewards thoughtful shot-making without ever feeling punishing. Every hole has its own personality, and the natural, open landscape creates a stunning backdrop that makes each swing a pleasure. What really elevates the experience, though, is the exceptional staff. From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality. Whether it’s help in the pro shop, guidance at the range, or a quick chat out on the course, the team is friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about creating a great environment for golfers of all levels. If you’re looking for a course that combines strategic design, beautiful scenery, and top-tier service, Mossy Oak is a must-play. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Mossy Oak and Old Waverly are awesome places to stay and play golf. Claire at Mossy Oak was exceptional at helping us with our group of 24 golfers. I can’t recommend this place enough. Course was immaculate!!!

When most golfers think of golf in Mississippi, they are probably thinking of the Gulf Coast and the Biloxi area. But if you want to experience the best golf in the state, you’ll need to head about four hours north, past Jackson and Hattiesburg, to the little town of West Point, MS. That’s where you’ll find Old Waverly and Mossy Oak, two of the best golf course layouts in the state. West Point, MS isn’t near any large city – Memphis is the closest and it’s 2 ½ hours away – so it provides a great sense of tranquility and solitude. However, it’s also a convenient location - most major southern cities can be reached by car in less than 4 hours, so you can drive over in the morning and get in an afternoon round. Mossy Oak is one of the newest courses in the State of Mississippi and was built in conjunction with Toxey Haas, founder of the Mossy Oak brand. The course was designed by Gil Hanse, the world’s top minimalist golf course architect. In true Hanse style, not much dirt was moved to build the course; according to Co-Founder George Bryan, the work could have “been done with a mule and a plow.” However, the dirt that was moved helped to create the ponds you see as you make your way around the layout. Mossy Oak is built on 180 acres of what used to be the Knob Hill Dairy Farm, complete with rolling terrain and significant elevation changes. One feature I found quite helpful was the guideposts that helped steer you toward the fairway on several blind tee shots. Elevated greens with tightly mowed surrounds make for challenging up and downs if you miss the green. Two of the course’s more memorable holes are Numbers 3 and 4. Number 3 is a very short par 4 that plays 253 from the White Tees. Long ball hitters can have a go at the green; it plays uphill, so you’ll need to carry the ball about 275 yards off the tee. Whether you go for it off the tee or not, the deep, cavernous bunkers on either side of the fairway are an intimidating sight. Number 3 requires a very accurate approach shot; the green is its plateau. Anything not on the green will either drop off the grid behind the hole or find one of the bunkers. It’s a short but demanding hole! Number 4 is Mossy Oak’s signature par 3. The hole plays 162 yards from the White Tees and is fronted by a massive bunker that sits well below the putting surface. You’ll need to carry the ball onto the green from the tee to avoid the false front. Find one of the two bunkers in front of the green and par just became a lot tougher! Another challenging par 3 is the 11th hole. From the White Tees, the hole plays 224 yards and is all carry over water. The green is shallow and finding one of the two pot bunkers in the back can make for an intimidating sand shot with the lake looming in the background. Take a par and run! Both Old Waverly and Mossy Oak offer accommodations. At Mossy Oak, guests stay in spacious cottages and villas directly on the golf course. Four-bedroom “cottages” give way to a large, spacious common area, each equipped with a giant flat-screen TV, tables for take-out dining, and comfortable furniture, as well as all the amenities you’d find at a first-class hotel. Old Waverly and Mossy Oak offer some tremendous packages that allow you to play both courses and experience everything they have to offer.

Pure as can get, dope layout! Cabins off #10 fwy super nice to stay and play! “Nature’s Golf Course” **Only wish this notch of golf course would make its way to Northern Mississippi, seems like all the money development course are atleast 21/2 hrs away from Olive Branch; my hometown.

Wonderful conditions, mostly wide-open fairways, tricky and fast greens. If it is your first time playing, get a forecaddy. I got lost on a couple of holes.
