Keesler Air Force Base, Mississippi

The Bay Breeze Golf Course first opened in 1962 and was designed and built by Nathan Crace.  The course closed because of the tropical storm” Katrina” but re-open in 2008.  This Par 71, 18-hole course measures 6,517 yards from the back tees and has a rating of 70.7 and with a slope of 112.

The golf course is a fairly wide open layout, located right off of the Back Bay where the winds can be a factor all day long.  There are water hazards that come into play on nine of the 18 holes.  The signature hole is #10, a 180 yard par 3 with a breathtaking view of the Back Bay that borders the course.  The greens are large and well bunked.  Many holes have an excellent view of the runway and if you love military aircraft you can’t beat the views.


The golf course is open to the public.
