Golf in Pascagoula

Pascagoula is the Jackson County seat on the Gulf Coast, home to Ingalls Shipbuilding, one of the largest shipyards in the United States. The shipyard's naval vessel production makes Pascagoula a significant industrial city on the coast, distinct from the casino resort economy to the west. The Mississippi River (actually the Pascagoula River here) and the Singing River's mysterious humming contribute to the community's character, and the area's industrial and maritime identity creates a different Gulf Coast community than the resort destinations of Harrison County. Ingalls Shipbuilding's naval construction contracts provide economic stability that insulates Pascagoula from the volatility affecting purely tourism-dependent Gulf Coast communities.
