Golf in Diamondhead

Diamondhead is a Hancock County planned residential community on the western Mississippi Gulf Coast, developed in the early 1970s around a golf-centered community concept. The development's master-planned character and its Gulf Coast location made it one of the first golf-community developments in Mississippi. Hurricane Katrina's devastating 2005 landfall caused enormous damage across Diamondhead, and the community's rebuilding process demonstrated the resilience of homeowners committed to their coastal residential investment and the lifestyle the community's infrastructure provides. The community's governance as an incorporated city since 2012 reflects the maturity of Diamondhead's planned community model and the commitment of residents to self-governing their recreational and residential investment.
