Course Report
Beau Pré has hosted USGA Senior Qualifiers and multiple state championships, underlining its regional significance and the high standard of its course conditioning.
About
Designed by Mike Young and opened in 1998, Beau Pré Country Club is recognized as one of Mississippi’s top private courses. The layout features tree-lined fairways, water hazards and undulating greens, making it a challenging but rewarding test. Hosting amateur and professional tournaments, the course is praised for its maintenance and Southern charm.
Caddie Tip
Keep your tee shots balanced between risk and reward, especially on dogleg and water-lined holes. Know your distances and favor accuracy over distance, as the course’s design punishes missed fairways with tough lies and tricky angles into small, undulating greens. Local knowledge on green breaks and wind direction proves vital for low scores.
The Main Challenge
Beau Pré demands accurate tee shots and precise approaches due to tree-lined fairways and water hazards in play on several holes. The small, undulating greens test putting and short game skills. Elevated green complexes make club selection and trajectory crucial, especially with swirling winds on open holes.
The Good
Golfers love Beau Pré’s lush fairways, rolling elevation, and the lakes that bring beauty and challenge to the design. The excellent conditioning of the greens, variety in the shot selection required, and tranquil setting with mature trees consistently earn praise. Members value its strong sense of community and friendly service.
The Not So Good
Some players wish for improved pace of play on busy weekends and more frequent updates to the clubhouse facilities. While conditions are generally very good, occasional drainage issues and soft spots after sustained rains have been noted. Expanding the practice range would benefit both beginners and serious players.
Signature Hole:
#
18
The 18th hole, a par 4 finishing along water with a dramatic approach to a well-protected green, is considered the club’s signature test. Players face a strategic tee shot and must judge the wind over a pond guarding the front, with trees framing the green. Precision on both shots is key for a closing par or birdie.
Clubhouse
Full-service clubhouse with member dining, event space, bar & grill, locker rooms, tennis courts, pro shop, and an outdoor pool. Amenities are modern, comfortable, and offer a relaxing post-round atmosphere but can feel basic compared to larger private or resort venues.
Practice Facilities
Practice offerings include a driving range, putting green, and short game area. Facilities are functional and meet members’ needs, though limited in size compared to elite clubs. The Pro Shop stocks top equipment. The clubhouse has a bar & grill, locker rooms, and event spaces, plus tennis courts and a swimming pool for recreational use.
