I second Ohtobediscing's mention of Ashe Lake in Brooklyn, MS -- just south of Hattiesburg. Doesn't get much more serene than this. The course is located in Desoto National Forest on Federal land....there is a $5 day pass fee per car, but you generally have the entire course to yourself. The course is about 4 to 5 miles into the forest, the only things close to it are a shooting range and Ashe Lake Nursery. There is very little traffic that passes by this area, and the course is heavily wooded, so a lot of the ambient sounds are blocked by the forestation.
I have played there many, many times and have only seen other people on the course, 3 times. Add to that, the beautiful lake, and some elevation changes, which is extremely rare for South Mississippi, and it is a must play, in my opinion.
Another enticing feature of Ashe Lake DGC is it's proximity to other great courses in the area...including, Paul B Johnson State Park, Tatum Trails, & Duncan Lake in Hattiesburg (about 8 miles away)....and Eagle's Landing two courses outside of Lumberton, MS. in Blackwater Creek Park (about 15 miles away)
