Mississippi Gul Coast

[maxfli55]

I'll be traveling to the Mississippi gulf coast area the last week in March for 6 days of golf and fun. We'll be staying at Diamondhead and playing the 2 courses there. If anyone is familiar with this area and can offer advice on where else to play within an hours drive I sure  would appreciate it. As a father of 2 college students, price is a factor and I'd like to max out in the $70 range or thereabouts.Thank you.

My friend enjoyed playing at The Oaks Golf Club (about 20 mins from Diamondhead)

Shell Landing is a good course, but I think it runs around $80.

Grand Bear in Biloxi is a solid course (Jack Nicklaus design). It's pricier, but the price on their site includes a golf cart. If you walk, maybe it's cheaper.

If you wanna blow your wad (money!) on one course instead of a couple, check out Fallen Oaks (http://www.fallenoak.com/)

Check out this site here http://www.golfcoast.com/

They'll list all the courses on the coast, with some reviews/pics/links and maybe some prices (or at least, links to prices)
