Today, Natchez is one of the most architecturally rich cities in the South. The antebellum homes are a“ must-see” for anyone wanting a look back at a far different world. According to Lynsey Gilbert of Visit Natchez, the city has more than 1,000 buildings on the National Register of Historic Buildings, including such treasures as The Guest House and Biscuits and Blues. A couple of the antebellum homes are more than 200 years old.“ We have about 20 that are available for daily tours,” says Gilbert.
The scenic 490-yard 4th hole on the 110-year-old Natchez Golf Club demands length to a green fronted by water.
One of 20 majestic antebellum homes in Natchez, MS, this stunning 165-year-old Longwood home was never completely finished because of the Civil War.
With the surrender came a change in the culture. Former slaves freed by the Emancipation Proclamation joined the Union Army, and by 1870, Natchez elected its first black mayor. Minorities today make up 60 percent of the population of 14,520.
The par 5, 540-yard 5th hole at the Natchez Golf Club has been called one of Mississippi’ s tightest driving holes.
According to Gilbert, it’ s also foremost in Southern Hospitality.“ It’ s very friendly. I’ ve seen tourists come into restaurants and go home to have homemade peach cobbler.” Truly, Natchez and Natchez Golf Club are an extraordinary step back into a time like no other.
