Mallard Pointe Golf Course<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The 90 mile drive to Ole Miss is now again broken up by a fine golf course we’ve missed the last couple of years. For reasons unknown, the former operator and the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks which operates the John W Kyle State Park in Sardis failed to come to terms on a new agreement. Subsequently, the State committed to maintain the course, but not operate it for approximately 9 months. The good news is that it’s now back open and coming into its own again condition-wise. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The course does possess a high degree of architectural integrity as it was designed by the late Bob Cupp, who was known for courses such as Liberty National, Pumpkin Ridge, and Old Waverly among many other significant layouts. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The course is set on a slight bluff on the southwest corner of Sardis Lake in the Park along natural borders throughout. It’s characterized by broad and confined tumbling, fairways, multiple water features and mitigation areas, 30 sand bunkers, and generous, but undulating green complexes. It’s a challenging layout with four sets of tees from 5,300 yards to 7,004 yards with the White tees playing to 5,595 yards, 68,8.118, course\/slope ratings.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
