Good Value
Our second time playing and it’s a good course for the money. Not very good on off course amenities and the golf carts all seem to have issues. Front desk staff is very nice as are the cart girls but both times the marshals all seem to be a little uptight and unfriendly.
Bama Golf!
Thank you for making our first Alabama round so enjoyable. Proficient friendly staff- pro shop, starter, bev cart and maintenance- all outstanding! Course was in great shape!
Great experience
Really enjoyed our visit. First time and would definitely come back even though it was coldddd. Probably helped pace of play but it warmed up a little as we went. Staff was so friendly from pro shop to starter course layout was nice and would love to play it when it was really green as it would be not only challenging but also enjoyable to look at keep up great work
Fun place to play
Fairways are fairly wide. Greens were rolling very well. Though it’s winter in the area, the course is still highly playable. Lots of sand traps, so you need to hit your ball fairly straight to avoid them. Good variety of layout and terrain.
Stuck with in an unfriendly foursome.
Tell me something Golfnow, is it the practice for golf clubs to stick hott deal recipientsl in foursomes when there's barely anybody playing?
Pophop
Excellent course, as good a layout you could ask for. Course was in great shape. A must play if you are in the area.
Day with new golf friends
Our new snowbird golf friends really enjoyed the course and so did we! One of our favorites along Gulf Coast. Greens are very fast and challenging!
First time
Enjoyed it and definitely will be back in the summer! Recommend to anyone who wants a decently challenging and fun course all for a decent price
Nice, covenient
I play here every year around the same time. The course can’t be expected to be in great shape since it is winter. The friendliness of the staff make all the winter shortcomings easily tolerable by their helpfulness and friendliness. I intend to continue coming back as long as I am able.
Just Beautiful!
The last day of January and the staff and course were both great. Looking forward to our next round of golf there!
