Jackson Golf and Vacation Information
Jackson, the capital of Mississippi and its largest city is steeped in history. Named after Andrew Jackson, the 7th President of the United States, it is now known as the City with Soul. The city has numerous blues, gospel, and jazz musicians and is a member of the Blues Trail. Jackson is located on the Pearl River in what was historically the Choctaw Nation. The Choctaws inhabited the area for thousands of years before European settlers. The Treaty of Doak’s Stand in 1820 allowed for non-native American settlers. Today, some of the best golf in the state can be found in Choctaw, Mississippi, about a 70 minute drive from Jackson. Hitting the links on the rolling hills with towering pine trees and majestic oak forests of Choctaw is truly a great golfing experience.
