Golf in Richton

Richton is a Perry County community in the longleaf pine region of south Mississippi, in one of the last significant longleaf pine ecosystems remaining in the nation. The area's ecological significance draws naturalists and conservation advocates who recognize the Okatoma Creek watershed as a rare surviving example of the pine flatwood ecosystem that once covered vast areas of the Southeast. Richton's small size and its pine forest setting create a community character built around outdoor recreation and the natural environment that surrounds it. The golf club serves as a community anchor in Richton's natural setting, where the Okatoma Creek's clear waters and the surrounding longleaf pine provide recreational resources that sustain quality of life.
