Winter on Mississippi gulf coast

[GaryandDebbie]

Long time reader first time to post. Spent winters in Florida, Arizona, and Texas. Last year ended up in Louisiana. I found the golf courses to be nice and the prices to be reasonable. It was cold but I can still play golf when dressed appropriately. It was the coldest winter in 15 years, (They said the same thing in FL, AZ, and TX.) This year I was planning on spending some time on the Mississippi gulf coast. Are there any recommendations on places to stay, golf courses to play, and attractions I must see?

Or you could spend the winter a bit further east on the Alabama gulf coast near Gulf Shores. Many campgrounds around here and lots to see and do. Escapees has a nice park (Rainbow Plantation) on County Rd 28 west of AL 59. It's nicely located between Foley & Fairhope and between Mobile & Pensacola as well. I'm not a golfer but I hear that the Robert Trent Jones golf trail is nice with one course near Mobile - - and there are other courses around Mobile and Baldwin counties as well.

Here's a website to start your search:

All things are relative. Floridians and seasoned snowbirds say it's cold any time the temperatures go into the 70's. If they dip into the 60's, then it's "really cold."

Hollywood Casino in Bay St Louis has a nice RV Park and golf course (not a golfer so don't know how good the course is).
