The Ole Miss Golf Course


About this course
The Ole Miss Golf Course serves the University of Mississippi in Oxford, located in the northern part of the state where the landscape features rolling terrain characteristic of north Mississippi's hill country. Nathan Crace designed the course, which functions primarily as the home facility for the university's golf programs while also accommodating recreational play from students, faculty, and the local community. The course provides a setting where collegiate golfers develop their skills and where the Ole Miss men's and women's teams practice and compete. The routing takes advantage of the property's natural elevation changes, with holes moving through wooded corridors and across more open areas. Tree-lined fairways and strategic bunkering define the playing corridors, while greens present varied challenges in terms of size, contour, and approach requirements. Water features come into play on several holes, adding both visual interest and strategic considerations for shot placement. The design balances the need for a course that can challenge competitive collegiate players while remaining accessible for recreational rounds. As a university course, The Ole Miss Golf Course reflects the broader culture of Ole Miss athletics and the Oxford community. The facility supports the golf programs' competitive schedules within the Southeastern Conference and hosts occasional tournaments and events. The course operates within the framework of university recreation, providing a venue where the traditions of college golf continue and where players at various skill levels can experience the game in a setting tied to one of the South's prominent universities.

Getting there
The journey to The Ole Miss Golf Course begins at Memphis International Airport, roughly an hour's drive northwest across the Mississippi state line. From there, the route follows Highway 78 southeast through the gently rolling terrain of north Mississippi, where cotton fields and hardwood stands give way to the unmistakable collegiate atmosphere of Oxford. As you enter town, the tree-lined streets and antebellum architecture signal arrival in one of the South's most storied university towns, with the course itself tucked quietly into the fabric of the Ole Miss campus - a fitting gateway to one of the region's most respected public collegiate layouts.
