Great course
Greens had been punched but almost recovered. Great layout with some good risk reward shots.
Great shaoe
The course is in the best shape I have seen it in 12 years. Greens were just punched so hard to tell much about them but poa annual is gone.
Golf Now
We should up early to the course and asked if we could go tee off early as no one was on the tee and no one waiting to tee of. I was told that since we booked on Golf Now we could not play any earlier has they were not making any money from us due to booking at Golf Now . Additionally the greens had been air rated and we had no knowledge of that when booking…would have played somewhere else had we known….We we made the turn they had put two foursome in front of us on ten…we only had two
In our group…when I complained they told
Me locals had priority on their course….I will never go back to this course and they should not accept golf now if they are going to treat you like second class citizen..
Nice course but...
Nice course overall. Didn't know they just punched the greens so they were in pretty bad shape. Staff was extremely friendly and rest of course was in good shape. The greens really put a damper on the round. Wouldn't have paid the price if I had known. Would play again once greens have healed.
Excellent course
Course was amazing, fairways were pure, greens were great. A little long off the tee but very forgiving. I can’t wait to come back next year.
Enjoyable day
I’m not sure if this was typical, but we played our afternoon round in less than 4 hours. Felt like course was ours alone, no waiting or others waiting on us. Totally enjoyed the experience!
This course was just fantastic shape
We have a great time at your facility. The people are very friendly helpful happy. The course is in great shape from tee box to green on every hole.your course has various stages from easy to very challenging holes.
We had a great time and can’t wait to return to play it again.
Great Choice in Gulf Shores
I have played here many times over the years, but it's been several months since the last time. . The course is in excellent condition. Fairways are nice, tee boxes are good, and greens are nice and relatively quick. I was very pleased with the overall condition and the pace of play. I'm playing here again tomorrow. Staff is excellent. A lot of facelifts and upgrades underway.
Great staff, tough layout.
Great style, layout was tough but enjoyable courses in great condition.
Gulf shores golf club
Had a great time course was in great shape. Staff was great very friendly.
Played as a 2some on a hot deal which was a pretty good value for this course. The practice facilities were nice with free range balls provided. Course condition was very good...no complaints. Greens wete a little quick and rolled well. We waited on every shot because we played behind a few groups of 4, but still played in about 4 hours.
Beautiful course, very playable
Very nice course and a good change up from all the “beach” styled courses in the area.
