Dancing Rabbit Golf Club

Frequently Asked Questions

I see Dancing Rabbit has two courses- Azaleas and Oaks. Which one should I play, or what's the difference?

You absolutely need to play both if you have the time, but they offer distinct experiences. The Azaleas course is a bit more forgiving off the tee with wider fairways, while the Oaks course demands precision and strategic thinking, especially around its tighter tree-lined holes. We recommend starting with Azaleas to get your rhythm, then tackling the Oaks for a true test.

When's the best time of year to visit Dancing Rabbit Golf Club for the best playing conditions?

For ideal conditions, aim for spring (March-May) or fall (late September-November). You'll find comfortable temperatures and the courses are in pristine shape, with the Azaleas blooming beautifully in spring. Summer can be hot and humid, and while winter is mild, you might encounter dormant Bermuda grass.

What's the experience like at Dancing Rabbit beyond the golf courses themselves?

You're at a full-service resort, so there's plenty to do once your round is finished. The Pearl River Resort offers a vibrant casino, several dining options ranging from casual to upscale, and a spa if you need to unwind. It's a great setup for a golf trip where you want more than just 36 holes a day.

How challenging are the courses at Dancing Rabbit, and what should I expect as a mid-handicapper?

Both courses offer a fair challenge, but they're very playable for mid-handicappers from the correct tees. The Oaks course, with its elevation changes and strategic bunkering, will test your shot-making more consistently. You'll definitely want to pay attention to pin positions on the Azaleas, as some greens have subtle but tricky contours.

Is Dancing Rabbit Golf Club worth the trip and the cost compared to other courses in the region?

Absolutely, it's a standout in the Southeast and offers excellent value for a resort experience. You're getting two championship-caliber courses designed by Tom Fazio and Jerry Pate, consistently well-maintained, plus all the amenities of the Pearl River Resort. It's a fantastic destination for a dedicated golf getaway without breaking the bank.
