Gulf States
Follow the course - Rich trails of Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi
Finally, don’t forget to bring extra money, particularly if you’re playing in Mississippi, where there are 12 casinos (and 16 golf courses) along the 26-mile Golf Coast Golf Trail, including the king of all Mississippi gaming centers, Tunica (www.tunicamiss.com).
When To Go
Mild year-round temps translate into 12 solid months of tee times. Of course, expect cooler temps in the winter months, and humid heat, as well as the greatest amount of precipitation, in the summer months.
