Course Report
Annandale was designed by Jack Nicklaus and has hosted a PGA Tour event, making it one of the most prestigious golf destinations in Mississippi.
About
Annandale Golf Club in Madison, Mississippi, is a Jack Nicklaus-designed private club ranked as the state's top private course. Opened in 1981 and stretching over 7,199 yards, Annandale offers elevated bentgrass greens, rolling terrain, broad lakes, and Scottish-style bunkering, blending challenge and enjoyment for all golfers.
Caddie Tip
Favor the correct angle into the large, undulating greens, which are often elevated and well-protected by bunkers and water. Club selection is crucial—many holes reward smart layups over aggressive risks, especially on windy days when approach shots can be difficult to hold.
The Main Challenge
Annandale can be especially daunting due to its many water hazards, large bunkers, and elevated greens, which require both long carries off the tee and precise approach shots. Players must carefully manage risk on dogleg holes and contend with shifting wind conditions.
The Good
Golfers consistently praise the outstanding conditioning and challenging, well-routed design by Jack Nicklaus. The scenic lakes and rolling fairways create a beautiful atmosphere, and the excellent staff service, first-rate clubhouse, and exclusive private-club experience make every round memorable.
The Not So Good
Some players note that Annandale's difficulty, especially from the back tees and on windy days, can slow pace of play and frustrate higher-handicap golfers. Additionally, the membership model restricts access, preventing many local golfers from experiencing the course.
