Live Oaks Golf Club, managed by Bobby Jones Links, opened in 1969, designed by architect John F. Stahl. We are an 18-hole, par 71 semi-private course sitting on 130 acres just northwest of Jackson. The course stretches just under 6,600 yards with gently rolling fairways through a parkland setting shaded by 200-year-old live oak trees. Live Oaks has undergone quite the transformation over the last six years with the creation of the Reed House, Top-5 in state wedding venue, renovation of our Roosevelt’s restaurant and construction of our “Bunkhouse” which is one the most unique accommodations in Mississippi. Through these projects and future plans, Live Oaks is primed to become a premier destination for all golfers in and around Jackson.
