Opened in 1999 and designed by legendary Tom Fazio and PGA great Jerry Pate, The Oaks at Dancing Rabbit stands as one of the Southeast's crown jewels. This 7,076-yard par-72 course seamlessly integrates championship-caliber design with the natural landscape of east-central Mississippi's rolling terrain. Golfers navigate towering hardwoods and ancient pines while confronting meticulously maintained Tifway II Bermuda greens that are large, undulating, and genuinely challenging. The course's strategic use of elevation changes, water features, and tastefully designed bunkers (grass-fronted rather than sand-faced) creates a layout that rewards precision without punishing adventure.
What makes The Oaks exceptional for group golf trips is its welcoming accessibility combined with legitimate difficulty. Five sets of tees accommodate every skill level, yet the course never feels soft or forgiving. The layout flows beautifully across more than 700 acres at the property, and golfers consistently praise the pristine maintenance standards. Spring-fed creeks and streams wind through the fairways, creating both visual drama and tactical interest. The surrounding woodland setting feels isolated and serene—a true escape from the everyday.
Beyond the 18 holes, The Oaks operates as part of Pearl River Resort, meaning your group gains access to championship-level amenities. The facility offers excellent practice areas, professional instruction, and multiple dining options. Whether your group wants a focused golf retreat or a full resort experience with casino entertainment and world-class dining, Dancing Rabbit delivers. The course is walkable for fit golfers, cart-friendly for others, and universally praised for stellar conditioning year-round.
