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.
