The Capital/River Region is home to Jackson, the state’s capital city; several winding rivers, the fabled Mississippi among them; historic river towns; and challenging, affordable golf courses.

Jackson makes a great hub for a golf vacation to the entire state. And it’s the host city to the PGA Tour each Fall at the Southern Farm Bureau Classic played at Annandale Country Club, a Jack Nicklaus-designed private course. The Jackson area has many accessible courses: Caroline Golf Club on Lake Caroline is a links-style course with few trees, but an abundance of ponds and lakes. The Refuge course in nearby Flowood offers sloping fairways and dense greens. Patrick Farms in Brandon, just a few miles east of Jackson features an 18-hole course with wide fairways and contoured greens in the midst of blooming dogwoods and towering hardwoods.

McComb, south of Jackson off Interstate 55, is home to the highly acclaimed Quail Hollow Golf Course at Percy Quin State Park. Quail Hollow received four stars from Golf Digest’s Places to Play. The 18-hole layout was designed by Arthur Hills and features tree-lined fairways leading to undulating greens.

Mississippi GolfDue west of McComb is the river town of Natchez. With its rich history and stately antebellum homes, many of which offer unique luxury accommodations as bed and breakfast inns, Natchez provides an unparalleled adventure. The Isle of Capri riverboat casino, docked permanently in Natchez, is another exciting attraction. Its nearby hotel has partnered with area golf courses to offer great value golf packages. Those courses include Beau Pré Country Club, featuring rolling fairways and enormous sand bunkers, and Duncan Park, the city’s home course. Both are challenging, yet fair courses. All of the golf courses in the Capital/River Region test your skills and offer you authentic Mississippi experiences.
