About this course

Live Oaks Golf Club in Jackson, Mississippi, was designed by John F. Stahl, a respected course architect known for his work throughout the Southeast in the mid-to-late twentieth century. The course reflects Stahl's characteristic approach to routing and design, integrating the natural landscape and topography of the Mississippi region into the playing corridors. The course is set within a landscape typical of central Mississippi, where native live oaks and other hardwoods frame the fairways and greens. The routing takes advantage of the area's gentle rolling terrain and natural water features, creating a layout that balances strategic challenge with playability. Stahl's designs typically emphasize shot-making over sheer length, rewarding accuracy and course management. Live Oaks has served the Jackson golf community as a private club, maintaining a membership-focused culture centered on competitive play and social tradition. The course has hosted regional tournaments and club championships over its history, providing a venue for local competitive golf. The club's dining and social facilities reflect the traditions of Southern golf clubs, with an emphasis on member experience and hospitality. The design remains characteristic of regional course architecture from its era, with hole designs that emphasize the interplay between natural features and strategic bunkering. The live oak canopy and native vegetation create a distinctly regional character that distinguishes the course within the Jackson area.

Getting there

Live Oaks Golf Club is most readily accessed via Jackson-Medgar Wiley Wiley International Airport (JAN), situated roughly twenty minutes north of the club, or alternatively through the smaller Jackson-Hawkins Field for those arriving by private aircraft. From JAN, the drive south into Jackson proper transitions quickly from interstate commerce into the quieter, tree-lined neighborhoods that define this corner of Mississippi's capital, with Live Oaks itself nestled in a serene residential enclave just minutes from downtown. The final approach winds through mature oak canopies and manicured grounds that announce the club's understated elegance well before arrival at its gates - a fitting introduction to one of the region's most distinguished private sanctuaries.
