Gulf Hills Golf Club

Gulf Hills Golf Club has been an important part of the Mississippi Gulf Coast golfing community for over 70 years. Located on Fort Bayou, the rolling hills will carry you through a good rounds of golf. Over hill and dale, through forests and streams, Gulf Hills is carved as one of the handsomest and sportiest courses in the South.
In 1927, the Branigar brothers, from Chicago, IL, developed Gulf Hills. This was to be a resort like no other in its era. This was accomplished with a beautiful golf course, clubhouse, and upscale homes. The original homes were built with no kitchens and no laundry facilities. Residents of this exclusive community took all meals at the clubhouse, and even their laundry was picked up and returned clean and folded by clubhouse employees. Legend has it that the resort was developed especially for the seclusion and entertainment of Chicago crime figure, Al Capone. In fact, remnants of a “Speak Easy” and Gambling Casino still remain. In the clubhouse was a fabulous lounge called “The Pink Pony”. Photos show many movie stars, gangsters, and members of the “upper crust” enjoying drinks, dancing, and entertainment. Elvis Presley frequented The Pink Pony and loved to play the piano and just relax in this comfortable and secure atmosphere. During this time, the course was so popular that tee times were actually auctioned off to the highest bidder the night before.
