Golf, tennis, swimming and boating, the Club at Diamondhead has it all. available using Trackman and FlightScope technology. Grand Bear Golf Club The PGA Tour C h a mp i o n s annually visits Gulfport for the Rapsican Systems Classic. It is normally held at Fallen Oak, yet another excellent course in the area, but due to renovations that took longer than planned, they could not host the event this year. Grand Bear, always in tournament condition, graciously stepped in. The tournament was won by Steven Alker and was held just a couple of weeks before we visited Grand Bear. I rate Grand Bear one of the best courses I have played anywhere. This Jack Nicklaus design gets out at a little over 6,700 yards. The Cardinal has a slope rating of 131 and five sets of tees to accommodate every skill level. The Pine Course is slightly more difficult with a 136 slope, but also allows players to choose from five tee options.
