Reviews of Shell Landing Golf Club (Golf)

Bill Moss

Reasonable prices, friendly staff and the course is very challenging

David Theoret

Shell Landing doesn’t have deep pockets or the backing of a casino to help it stay afloat and what Kenny and his staff have done is take a spectacular golf facility in a relatively unknown – at least for golf – part of the country and transform it into a facility that is recognized by both Golf Digest and Golfweek as one of the top public courses in Mississippi year in and year out. The Shell Landing Golf Course was designed by Davis Love III and plays 7,024 yards of golf from the back tees for a par of 72. From back here, the course rating is 73.2 with a slope of 128. Shell Landing Golf Club features both a beautiful natural waterfront setting and some diverse topography. Water comes into play on eight holes and plays a role on most scorecards. Generous tree-lined fairways meander through the pine savannah, which is adorned with seasonal flowers. These well-sculpted fairways give way to large undulating greens that roll true and fast. You’ll find conditioning like many of the high-priced casino courses in the area at a fraction of the cost. As you make your way around the layout, you’ll have the opportunity to commune with nature; it’s not uncommon during a round to see deer, alligators, rabbits, fox and a variety of birds. With five sets of tees, all levels of players will find Shell Landing to be a challenging and enjoyable place to play. The course’s signature hole is the par 3, 17th which plays over 200 yards from the back tees. The tees are elevated and play downhill to the green. Don’t let the visual distractions fool you, you can easily be distracted on this hole. All you can see off the tee is the marsh and the three deep bunkers that loom behind the green. The best advice you will get is to be sure and carry the marsh and hit the green! Par is a good score here. The par 5 3rd is one of the most beautiful holes on the entire course. It’s a modest double dogleg that plays well over 500 yards. Fairway bunkers guard the right side of fairway off the tee and if you play it too safe, you may just find the woods! Place your tee shot down the left center of the fairway with a power fade and you’ll be in good shape to play your second shot. You’ll want to hit it down the right side of fairway towards the mounds with a slight draw; this will leave a full third shot into the green. Should you decide to go for the green in two, be sure to carry the large pond that fronts the green. Other amenities at Shell Landing include a full length 15-acre practice facility where you can hit every club in your bag, as well as a massive putting green. There’s also men’s and women’s locker rooms, club storage, and top of the line rental clubs. After your round, be sure to stop by the Landing Bar and Grill, which has something for everyone. At first glance, the menu is not all that impressive, as a matter of fact, you could say it’s very limited. That may be the case but take a bite out of any item on the menu and you’ll be amazed. The Landing Bar and Grill is open to the public and is open for lunch 7 days a week from 11 AM – 3 PM. They are also available to host special events. Shell Landing Golf Club also offers golf memberships. Members receive discounted visitor passes, advance tee times, complimentary range balls, a 20 percent pro shop discount, inclusion in member events and tournaments with any level of membership package. Choose from Gold Level, Senior Level, Junior Level and Weekday Primary membership packages. Membership packages range in price from $55 to $159 per month for a single membership. Landing offers true southern hospitality and gives you the total Gulf Coast golf experience without breaking the bank. Every hole is unique, and you need to think your way through each shot. The greens are some of the purist in the area and knowing them will help you tremendously. They want to see to it that you enjoy yourself and come back again. On your next visit to Mississippi’s Gulf Coast, be sure to play a round at Shell Landing.

Adrian Barnhill

Awesome golf course! Great fall rate at $53. Layout fun to play. Greens were rolling true at about an 8 or 9. Can't wait to come back in the Spring. It will certainly be put in our rotation.

Underwhelmed. My expectations were high based off reviews, web site photos and a hefty price tag. The course was nice, but a poor value. Took 4 hours to play. They allowed 2 5 somes off that brought play to a screeching halt, and of course no Marshall. Played 2 other courses in the area at a similar price range and found them worth the money. Highlights are USB ports in carts, good club house food and the beer cart lady.

Our golf group was very happy with the quality of this course and the condition of the greens, which were better than we expected. I personally appreciated the help I received from Mr. Francisco Gonzalez and his attention to detail.

Make sure you don't leave anything in your kart. I left my Costas, but when I called later to get them shipped back to me, they claimed they hadn't seen them. I guess whoever works on their karts needed them more than me.
