Golf in Gautier

Gautier is a Jackson County Gulf Coast community east of Pascagoula named for the oyster shell middens — large prehistoric midden deposits — left by indigenous communities along the Singing River. The Singing River, Pascagoula's nickname, produces a mysterious humming sound audible on calm days, and the natural phenomenon has generated legend and scientific interest for centuries. Gautier's Gulf Coast position and its Spanish moss-draped live oak corridors create the atmospheric character of the deep South coastal environment. The Pascagoula River estuary's ecological richness — home to multiple fish and wildlife species — creates environmental value that the Gautier community has worked to preserve alongside residential and recreational development.
