VANCLEAVE, Miss. (Feb. 28, 2007) - The Preserve Golf Club is one of the Biloxi area\'s two newest golf courses - so new that it almost missed the wrath of Hurricane Katrina.
Almost.
The Preserve was close to opening when Katrina hit in August 2005 and the storm landed a solid blow to the club and its pristine surroundings two miles north of Interstate 10. The golf course was partially flooded and lost thousands of trees.
Katrina delayed the Bermuda grass grow-in process, and the club is replacing the downed trees with transplants from Florida. It finally debuted this past July, and the excellent clubhouse opened in late January.
Looking out over The Preserve, you might wonder why they had to go to Florida to get those trees. There are few golf courses in Mississippi, or the Southeast, for that matter, with surroundings like these.
The course itself takes up 245 acres, but it is surrounded by more than 1,800 acres of dedicated nature preserve in the form of the Sandhill Crane Refuge and Conservancy. Old Fort Bayou flows at the track\'s eastern edge.
