The Preserve Golf Club has officially been named the BEST Golf Course for the fourth consecutive year in the 2026 Sun Herald Best of Coastal Mississippi Awards! Voted on by local residents and SunHerald.com readers, this prestigious honor solidifies our standing as the ultimate golf destination on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. We are incredibly grateful to our community and guests whose votes made this historic streak possible.
Pure Golf, Framed by Nature
Designed by U.S. Open Champion and award-winning architect Jerry Pate, our 18-hole, par-71 championship course spreads across 245 meticulously manicured acres. What makes playing at The Preserve an unforgettable experience is our dedication to the environment:
- Audubon Certified: We are a proud member of the prestigious Audubon International Signature Program.
- Untouched Wilderness: Our course weaves through pitcher plant bogs, cypress swamps, longleaf pine savannahs, sweet-bay magnolias, and native grass prairies.
- Undisturbed Play: Surrounded by an additional 1,800 acres of dedicated nature conservancy, you will enjoy a round of “pure golf” completely free from residential development.
