Golf in Natchez

Natchez is one of America's most historically significant cities, the Adams County seat on the Mississippi River bluffs that accumulated extraordinary antebellum wealth through cotton planter culture built on enslaved labor. The concentration of antebellum mansions — Monmouth, Longwood, Stanton Hall, Melrose, and scores more — creates an architectural heritage that draws visitors from around the world during the annual Natchez Pilgrimage. The city's complex history, preserving both the architecture of planter wealth and the Forks of the Road slave market, creates a destination of genuine historical depth. Natchez's willingness to grapple honestly with the full complexity of its history — preserving both the plantation houses and the Forks of the Road slave market — distinguishes it as a heritage destination of uncommon depth.
