Isle Dauphine Golf Club

We didn't actually play or go on course, you see from my comments why. Spoke to the guy that run the course Sunday and made plan to come on Monday. Monday morning we headed to Dauphin Island for little bit of golf, beach and lunch. The Pro Shop wasn't in previous location and called number to find out it was in a wooden hut down the hill. Whenever after paying, I was told ONLY 9 holes were open due to some storm. You had to go in hut to pay the group at a time because it's dinky. Looks like they only had about 6 golf carts and we got last one. However, due to no restrooms on course and large groups already on course we got a refund and left. Very disappointed that owner didn't bother mentioning any of these issues when I talked to him day before. Lady working in hut was nice and very apologetic. We are one and done with place. Wasted whole morning of our anniversary going to this place, 90 miles round trip. Also, everything on Dauphin Island now costs money to park near any water. Their greed is quite astonishing!

Family vacation at Dauphin Island & I wanted to give the Golf Course another try. The course is in deplorable condition with more sand than grass on all the greens and the fairways are like one continuous bunker.

Five of the holes were closed because of wet fairways and several of the holes were less than 200 yards because of water on the fairways and tee boxes were moved up.

Unless you are just bored out of your mind and feel the need to hit a golf ball, don't bother playing this one.

Well...I'm not angry. This is not an angry review. This is just to help other golfers know what they're getting into before they arrive. We decided to play today because we were bored out of our minds. I have seen photos of the course and I knew it was going to be a very awful course in terrible conditions - but I was okay with that! I called and the owner told me it was $25. We showed up, paid our money, and I asked him if we could grab a few clubs from beside the counter since we didn't have 2 full sets (since it was difficult to pack 2 sets of clubs for travel) he said sure no problem. Well we went and played 9 holes and made the turn to play the same 9 again to complete our round. He then told us it would be another $10 each to play the next 9 holes. Well that was a surprise. I didn't get angry with him I just told him that's not what we were expecting. He basically went on to tell me that $35 is a great deal and you can't play anywhere else for $35. LOL well as we all know - this is false...especially when we tee off after normal "twilight" times. I never bashed the awful course (again, I knew what I was getting into when we arrived) but I just told him over and over again how surprising this whole ordeal was. Who would have thought that 9 holes would be the rate of $25?? He then told me how he "gave us" the rental clubs for free and didn't charge us for them. Well I couldn't help but to laugh. So anyway - if you want to play this course go ahead - just know what you're getting into. And yes, the course is almost unplayable. The greens are unputtable.
