Mississippi State University at Mississippi State University Golf Course

Mississippi State University Golf Course serves the university community and public golfers in Starkville, a college town in northeastern Mississippi's prairie region. Designed by Brian Ault and opened in the early 2000s, the course provides a home facility for the Mississippi State men's and women's golf teams while accommodating recreational play from students, faculty, and area residents.

The layout occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the region, with fairways carved through stands of pine and hardwood. Ault's design incorporates elevation changes and natural contours into the routing, creating variety across the eighteen holes. Water features appear on several holes, and bunkering emphasizes strategic positioning rather than penal hazards. The course balances the competitive demands of collegiate golf with accessibility for players of varying skill levels.

As a university facility, the course hosts Mississippi State's home tournaments and serves as a practice venue for the Bulldogs' golf programs, which compete in the Southeastern Conference. The course also functions as a community amenity in Starkville, offering memberships and daily-fee play. Its location on campus integrates it into the broader university environment, making it a gathering place for the Mississippi State community beyond competitive golf.

The course reflects the practical needs of a university program—providing quality conditions for player development and competition while remaining financially sustainable through public access and community engagement.
