BILOXI, Miss -- The Mississippi "Golf Coast" which is the 60 miles of Gulf of Mexico coastline between Alabama and New Orleans, has grown into the mid-South's most popular golf destination. All area golf courses were spared Tropical Storm Gustav brutality and escaped with heavy water and some limbs down to clean up. Most golf courses are open today and casino resorts have reopened their hotels and dining and entertainment venues. All golf courses will be open by Monday.
With 22 golf courses, hundreds of coastal dining options, 11 casino resorts and great Gulf fishing, it is the only golf destination in the world to offer such a diverse number of things to do.
"Our thoughts go to our western neighbors and we offer them our thoughts and support for a quick recovery," says Kevin Drum, Executive Director.
